Nice man! Welcome to the xrt club. They sure are noisy in person, eh? Love the sound of the dc arc. It's a different kind of buzz than my ac one makes.
@@VariacManiac that'd be a cool project. That way, if you want dc you could wire the diodes externally. You could likely output more current as well if you choose to. Wouldn't want to pop the diodes in the same oil as the xfmr!
@@Matt_Deluca I'm pretty satisfied with the output though it's low current. We have high voltage though and that's good enough for now, but when the time is right, I'll remove the diodes and we'll get a higher current. Trouble is the transformer comes with the lid, so opening it without any proper tools would be nearly impossible, but we'll see, I'll make sure to entertain in lou of it;)
Very nice transformer, thumbs up!
those arcs sound terrifying.
How about 1MV Cockroft-Walton with this thing?
That might be a good idea!

Thank you, yes very noisy, I might open it up and take out the diodes to output AC instead.

Cool 👍👍⚡⚡☢☢⚠️⚠️
Thank you..
Those were some angry arks. That tansformer looks nice
Loud as hell, but also fun!!
I have insulators I have pictures
Cool, how many?
OK, I will not attempt any of this until I actually get my hands on one. Good advice.
Indeed! If you can get one, that assures your knowledgeable to ''play'' with it lol!!
