Awesome video! I really enjoyed learning about this amazing project and all the ins and outs of its functionality. The power supply driving it is a work of art in both function and execution with the high quality materials and components build to last and be safe for years to come. The gun itself has more engineering in it than one may think as well. Simply amazing!
Very nice to see how the MMC is split into sections for each bridge to force current sharing! This would work on a normal DR with multiple bridges as well.
You know for some reason I never thought about the lipo supply just replacing a big cap bank til watching this video. I know that's how some of the coolest coil guns do it in order to get the high fire rate but it makes perfect sense for a QCW when you want a fairly high BPS. Certainly presents an extra level of safety concern and failsafe engineering but it's worth it. For a pretty cool portable deal I'm sure one could get away with only ~150VDC or so in lipos. 5 miniblocs, smallish cap, the batteries, heatsink and fan, drivers.. should be doable to where the whole thing is hand held and the majority of the components are held at the shoulder so it becomes a rifle.
@@BackMacSci lol I might do something like that one day but probably no time soon. If I make any kind of rifle I think it will have to be an actual coil gun because I have too many suitable caps and SCR's. Maybe a small QCW pistol when I get around to making the small ones. If you're planning on a QCW gun though you can definitely pull it off. Thinking small is the way to go. You don't really need to beef up the components too much unless you want a high BPS and 350V bus or something. For a low fire rate you can use almost any small power source at below 200V ramps. There are some cool small DC caps out there that can give you the needed bus capacitance in a pretty small form factor. I used 4 CDE 400V 1500uF caps for example in my final 4s battery build and they are pretty small. I'd say it shouldn't run more than like $100 or so total.
You're such a loveable person to watch and so well mannered. May God Bless you and give you knowledge to make a tesla gun of your dreams, and bring you to know it's Him whom gives you everything. Pax. Steven. U.K.
Wouldn't be a good idea to have some sort of fire-proof and thermal-insulating separators between the LiPos in case one of them decides it's time to go?
Very, very good morning seeing this awesome coil..just this week i achieved 6-7in sword sparks from a zvs driven coil witha simple 555 interrupter

This video is so well made! Tesla coil documentarian
Thanks Seb!
Damn G, you got the sponsor going on 🔥

yeah, I liked learning that too. lots of valuable information from this day.
He is cool and I want to be his friend. Why can't any of my neighbors be this cool
Agreed, Cameron is great!
GREAT TO SEE. GOD BLESS!!!
👍👍👍

yeah man 100%, scariest part is that you'll beat me to it!😂

Thank you! Yes, Jesus is better than tesla coils!

I wonder how the PCB traces on the bridge don't burn from all that current! Wow!!
🎉legit cool
Супер!
W video as always!
This rocks!
thanks Mariano!!
let’s goooo
Nice
Dang...
No way this is live 😮
No way it tuns on 8 lipos
16*
Why does this have so little views??
it's not made for the algorithm haha
