    This was a really amazing result.
    It's a bit late now, I guess, but if you ever do work with high voltages like this again, I would highly recommend powering everything through a foot-pedal dead-man switch (instead of just a power strip). Not only would that have made it much easier to quickly turn everything off every time things started misbehaving, but it makes it far more likely that if you actually do get electrocuted in some way, your foot will come off the switch, which will automatically break the circuit and you might actually live through it instead of becoming paralyzed in place by the current and slowly cooking like a hot dog...

      I don't think he can die from those arcs, the transformers in old TVs have too low amps to kill you. It's unpleasant to get shocked but not a real problem. When I was a kid I used to unplug the high voltage terminal from the screen's hole and hold it in my hand and my hair would all raise up from the high voltage. I occasionally got shocked when the current arced to other components but it wasn't bad, it just stings and may leave a burn mark.

      Essentially it is a synthesizer though. The computer is making a different tone (electrical pulse frequency) based on which key it detects moving. The piano element of it is purely aesthetic. As he showed early in the video, the sounds could all be made by a single hammer. Aside from making the sound through arcs instead of speakers, it would perfectly fit into the definition of a synth.

    I would suggest reducing the hammers diameter around the nose to a point rather than having them big and wide like that. Then you could use Kapton tape to wrap each one before mounting them back on, leaving just the tip exposed.
    Finally, you can mount sheets of mica (like those you find in toasters) between each hammer like you did with the acrylic. Not only will the mica sheets perform better, but they don't burn.

    • @ruxleec
      @ruxleec 11 місяців тому +20

      And the mica should be taller so your hands can trust your eyes at the sight of seeing the heights of the arcs, the height and intensities of the arcs should equate to forte-piano, but holding key-presses down shouldn't lead to arcs criss-crossing or leap-frogging... then invert the code (if you have not already as you have more than noted that resultant quality) that the QRS optical sensor strip mitigates or cuts off so that the tones sound voluminous to dissipating so your muscle movements and reactions synchronize with your senses and physical transpositions
      along with adopting the hammer designs of the recommedations above from the Nonchallant Shallot, consider fixing the hammer heads (lower surely) at a sharper angle so the arcs can be thrown to their wiles and the whims of playing upon the key-presses, results would be like getting a bigger display screen, that the actions of the hammers are moot or niche for the actions within the arcs themselves
      but moving parts are mesmorizing
      as well, eye-candies
      clean it up and it's a remarkably enjoyable thing you've got, maybe not so much wire length throughout the system? or at least insulate [the majority of] them appropriately... would resommend insulting each key-press set for maximum playabilities in terms of hours and long-held key-presses ...
      before the CoVid, some cities and urban areas had pianos around randomly in public spaces that passers-by could stop and tickle the ivories a bit, a while...

      Voltage don't kill but current does. That's why extremely high voltage with small current is not as dangerous that many thinks. It can cause burns and damage the nerves but most likely don't kill. Still there's a reason to be careful because you can't know what kind of currents systems are capable of putting out. Large capacitors are dangerous because they can supply very high short term powers and raise the current even in high voltage systems.

High voltage systems are absolutely dangerous, as are high current systems. If you think high voltages aren't dangerous, open up a CRT monitor and read the dozen WARNING: RISK OF DEATH stickers on it. Because it's using the same component, a flyback transformer. As for low voltage systems, take a look at all the warnings on your arc welder even though it's only 20 volts.

    I have a brilliant idea, but it'll need some work, you could have all the hammers closer to the metal plate and as you press each key further they move back more and get louder, the only down side is the high voltage needs to be turned off when the key is not depressed. You could even decrease the current to the transformer some to reduce the intensity of the arc and increase it the more you press down on each key, if those optical sensors can sense height of each key for that.

      It’s not entirely wrong, they did use electric synth waves, it’s a similar process just a lot more…. Sophisticated? They are big companies with millions though so

      @@MiguelBaptista1981 yeah, synth waves are similar to electric waves, the frequency rate creates the sound. Essentially an electric arc is a synth wave

    High voltage switching equipment uses puffs of air from a nozzle to blow out the arc. You might be able to use something like that to cut off the large loud arcs???

    What makes your channel impressive is not the engineering, or the project ideas them selves, though those are definitely not slacking, but you dedication to actually making it function. Most people would have given up long before making it as far as you did. Would be awesome to see a digital instrument like the real hammer piano so others could develop music using your terrifying creation.

      Thank you! Yeah I have trouble giving up on things which Is a curse and a blessing! I’ll talk to the VST guys. I’m not entirely sure how to record it to make sense

      Since the loudness is affected by the lenght of the arc and can be controlled by the player hmmm
