      Everything working is meant to be taken apart. Letting it die is just cruel. Like how humanity is innately cruel because they decide to harvest organs only AFTER the thing has dieded. They should harvest it while you're alive, put you on life support and give you your own allotted time to press a button to end your life, only confirmable by a cheatcode-like input that follows. So you'll feel better about "leaving the earth". Up down up down left right left right square down down up

      You only want to run it for a couple of seconds at a time to prevent that as the transistor can't take it. You need a MOSFET and a big heatsink (but the pinout will be different).

    I've always had the most fun with a swatter circuit by adding five or six of the same capacitors paralleled into the output, it takes a bit longer to charge but the resulting explosions are well worth it. I usually take the paddle and grid off then attach two steel needles about 2 inches long on either side of the original handle and bend them inwards, so there's about 3/16" to a 1/4" of gap (4-6mm) between the tips. It becomes a bug _detonator,_ any insect caught between it's prongs become plasma vapor and little tiny bits of exoskeleton, the entire creature disappears in an instant. Safety glasses/squints are required🤣.

    You'll probably get more sparks using BA159 or UF4007 diodes, the main difference respect to 1n4007 diodes is they are much faster. The 1n4007 diodes become inefficient high frequencies. As a rule of thumb, if I can't hear it, I use fast diodes.

      +Pranal Ingle The voltages add up. It is like connecting ten 1.5 V batteries in series, you get 15 v at the end.

    can i use cap with 10n 3000v ?

    10,000V? isnt the 1n4007 rated for 1000V?

      +chems the diodes don't see the full voltage. The final 10,000 volts are the SUM of the voltages in each stage. Same for the capacitors

    +Ludic Science Puedo añadir otra etapa al multipicador de voltaje ?
    Si es asi, cuanto voltaje me daria la salida ?
    Que tan peligroso podria ser ?

      +victor morales si puedes añadir las etapas que quieras, cada etapa añade el doble del viltaje de entrada. Es imposible contestar a la pregunta de que tan peligroso puede ser, depende de muchisimos factores. ¿que tan peligroso es andar en automovil??? depende de muchas cosas. Lo mejor es tener siempre precaucion.

    what value of capacitors and type of diode u used here ?? i want to make exactly something like really need help . haha Thanks again. BTW, nice vid.
