Building a fire death machine using soviet military tech

- What started as a simple desire for a better arc lighter got carried away and I ended up making the scariest device I've ever built.
In this video I tested a plasma lighter and attempted some modifications to it. I tried hooking it up to a voltage multiplier as well as raising the input voltage, but my results weren't that impressive. So, I turned to the sketchiest schematic I've ever come across, the "HFVTTC".
The HFVTTC is a circuit that operates sort of like a Tesla coil, but considerably more scary and with a flame like output. There is very little on this circuit in English, so it felt like a wild goose chase trying to figure out how they work and how to build one. Thankfully, the RUclipsrs Zilipoper and Teslista555 had well documented videos detailing their builds of the circuit, and I relied heavily on those clips to figure out how to bring my circuit to an operating state. I would like to give a big thank you to them. Be sure to check out their channels as they have a BUNCH of cool high voltage vids!!

Furthermore, I'd like to thank Vidduley for providing key information on this type of circuit. I was ripping my hair out trying to find English literature on this circuit, but it turns out most of the documentation is in the Russian language. A big thank you to him for this as well as the other info I've used from him in past videos!

I built my torch circuit using the soviet GU-5B triode vacuum tube that I scored on eBay, and I used a bunch of soviet surplus doorknob capacitors in the build as well. The PSU transformer was a used pull from an old flashlamp pumped laser, and I built the PSU voltage doubler using chains of 10A10 diodes potted in wax.
The output electrodes turned out to be both tricky and interesting in this project. As the device melted through copper, steel and many other materials, it was hard finding something that wouldn't turn to a puddle on the output, but luckily graphite held up well enough for fairly long term use. I then added salts like cesium and lithium chlorides to the electrodes, as well as metals like magnesium and zinc.
It was a very fun project, but also quite involved. The RF emissions had to be shielded so I built a large copper Faraday cage for the project. This took a bunch of time, but it's worth not being hunted down by local hams in the area.

Him in 2050: So I made this mini black hole from this old abandoned Ukrainian nuclear reactor I found on eBay!
styropyro shows incredible restraint by not moving into an active volcano and becoming a supervillain
Styropyro: Ok, now I'm bored.
opens a battery with a machete, explains complicated physics and chemistry like he's telling you how to bake a cake. builds a massive death machine, screws around with chemicals, never gets hurt. this guy dances with death and i love it.
i love how how he says "dont try this at home!", and then proceeds to give you every single thing he used, where he found them, and where you can buy them. and in some occasions, even how to use them.
Imagine just casually setting your whole desk on fire with no worries at all
"don't try this at home"
This dude is making straight up wonderweapons
if zilipoper scares this man i cant imagine what his videos are like
how is No one talking about how someone actually managed to scare him with their videos
I love how he says he's going to make some " upgrades" then proceeds to build a war crime in his backyard
I love how nice and happy his voice sounds, the cuts to something insanely loud or an explosion.
Proper mad science hair.
magnesium under regular flame: bright white
Styro saying you know more than him about deadly electronics is essentially the same as receiving a Nobel prize
Every time he cuts to the angle grinder death trap coil, I wheeze. The sound is so unbelievably good.
the fact that there is a channel dealing with high voltage that scared syropyro is terrifying
"Honey, the neighbor's kid is trying to open another dimension again!"
I found your channel last night by chance and I wanted to say a couple things.
I don't think most of you realize how smart this man is. He breezes by entire spectrums of science like it's nothing.
