why is it called Generator?Perhaps for marketing purpose. That's the title of the device if you buy it online.
Does it Generate, which i feel is similar to Create?The circuit diagram shown at 6:50 shows that it consists of an oscillator, step up transformer, and voltage multiplier.
Or does it simply just Convert, hence a Converter/Transformer?
But, why is it called Generator?By analogy with things like this
Can it be used to create a Taser?Some online shops advertised this device as a taser. Although it may not meet the criteria.
& If Yes, can it be disguised as a Lipstick?
By the way, You broke & tore it apart in the Video.It wasn't me. I posted it as an introduction to what I will use in my experiments.

My device is still working fine, at least for now.
Sorry, i missed the Details in the Video.
& Sorry for the Bad Suggestion of making a Tazer out of it.
Well how about making a Car Jump Starter from it.
When cars don't start, bcoz of dead battery.
Then another car or live battery is required to start the dead battery car.
If a battery pack is attached to this HVG, n two small wires...Can a Jump Starter Keychain be made from this?
When the power is too low, it would be cooled down by the fuel and fail to ignite.What would?
I replaced the power bank with a new one, but the same thing happened. Now I have two dead power banks. I guess there's something wrong with the electronic components in the high voltage generator.
The sparking plasma.When the power is too low, it would be cooled down by the fuel and fail to ignite.What would?
I haven't checked them yet. My plan for the next step is to use a USB adaptor instead of power bank.I replaced the power bank with a new one, but the same thing happened. Now I have two dead power banks. I guess there's something wrong with the electronic components in the high voltage generator.
Looks like you Finally made something, a Power Bank Killer!
Anyways, aren't the Power Banks repairable?
Was it the whole chemical Battery component that was Severely damaged, or just the internal circuitry Chips?
The third video demonstrates the effect of the high voltage generator on a gas discharge lamp.Can anyone try to explain how a steel pliers can make the UVC lamp glows brighter?
More surface area thus more capacitance, thus more coupling of the electricity into the lamp.The third video demonstrates the effect of the high voltage generator on a gas discharge lamp.Can anyone try to explain how a steel pliers can make the UVC lamp glows brighter?
More surface area thus more capacitance, thus more coupling of the electricity into the lamp.Which factor do you think is more significant? Is it the capacitance, or the coupling?
What I can't explain is why you choose to expose yourself to hard UV for no reason.Thanks for your concern. The reason is I didn't have a better alternative to demonstrate glowing of gas discharge lamp.
If a capacitor is added to the output of the generator, will it affect the glow?It seems like the best way to find out is by just do it. But it may took some time for me to replace the faulty generator, and purchase the high voltage capacitor. Perhaps building DIY capacitor can also be considered.
Do you understand that the electricity only gets through the glass because the gas in the tube; the glass tube wall, and the wire or pliers outside the tube form a capacitor?Have you watched the video thoroughly?
The lamp glows brightest when its electrode is in contact with the pliers.Note that without the pliers, contact of lamp electrode and generator electrode didn't show significant glow.
The lamp is designed for use in aquarium, thus I think it's safe enough for humans. Further precautions are keeping the duration of exposure short, and avoid staring directly to the glowing lamp. During the experiment, observation was made through the smart phone display.Another important thing as consideration, is that UVC lamp tube doesn't have fluorescent coating which may interact with the electromagnetic field applied, and make the problem more complicated.
A few months ago I've made an experiment investigating microwave transmission through plasma. At the time, I found a counterfeit money detector with UVA source from a gas discharge lamp. The experiment can show a weak but convincing difference of opacity in microwave frequency between on and off UVA lamp.
Unfortunately, the plasma inside the lamp is not the only electrically conductive material there. There's also phosphor coating inside of the lamp glass which may also change its conductivity when powered on..
Here it is.
If you want to be really certain, you can buy a UV C bulb with no phosphor.That's what I did last week. I've done the recording of the experiment, but the editing and uploading may take a while.
You will probably want to screen the UV it produces.
For safety precaution, I only power it up for short durations at a time.
You can wait for the video to be available. But if you have no patience or time to watch it later, you can sneak a peek at the results.Spoiler: show
Here it is.
This is a follow up of the experiment in previous video. This time the gas-discharge lamp has no phosphor coating, so the effect on the microwave transmission should be produced specifically by the phase change of gas in the lamp into plasma.
Please let me know if you want something to check or verify regarding these experiments.
Meanwhile, I've repeated the experiments using another model of high voltage generator. It has similar basic structure as previous one. But it also has notable differences.I think this video can explain what happened with my experiments above.
The oscillator part is visibly more complex than previous one. There are more electronic components, including some integrated circuits. I guess they are for power regulation or overcurrent protection.
The output electrodes of the voltage multiplier is connected to a 1 nF capacitor rated at 20kV, without dissipating resistor. The advertised voltage is 15 kV, compared to 400 kV in previous model. This is reflected by the length of the spark it produces, which is notably shorter than before.
Interestingly, it can somehow produce brighter glow in a UVC lamp tube.

I'm preparing a video to show electrostatic force using my generator.Here it is.
Jump starting gasoline cars is usually needed because of dead battery. It requires good condition of other components. It also requires high power. Normally, the engine is started using 12V car battery, and can draw current to hundreds of Amperes typically 400A, hence 4.8 kW is required. When the power is too low, it would be cooled down by the fuel and fail to ignite.When I couldn't afford a new starter battery, I used to start my old Skoda MB with a 12V dry battery temporarily attached to the ignition system. The starter battery only had to crank the motor over one or two revolutions before it picked up and the dynamo (pre-alternator days!) put some life back into it. Adding a diode in the "proper" supply line made it all very easy!

Incidentally the idea of encapsulating the HV generator in paraffin wax (candle wax) is a good one - makes life a lot safer and provides mechanical protection for the coil too. I built a 100 kV 10 mA unit about 50 years ago with a voltage multiplier inside a liter of paraffin wax, driven by a 20 kHz oscillator. Great fun!Did you consider heat dissipation?
In this experiment, we use a high voltage multiplier to supercharge a thick plastic bottle to the point where the charge can no longer be contained. The results are spectacular. The plastic of the bottle holds an incredible amount of charge towards the end of the experiment.
The outside of the bottle is negative. The inside of the bottle is positive. The net overall charge of the bottle with respect to earth ground is zero. The polarity could be determined by how it lights up a neon bulb. The negative terminal in a neon bulb containing two terminals would light up brighter than the positive terminal.
The experiment shows that positive electricity prefers the pointed electrode; negative electricity prefers the disk-shaped electrode. In the early days of X-ray technology, this effect was used to eliminate the closing current from a spark inductor and to supply only the opening current to the X-ray tube.
For Halloween, here is a quick look and electrical arcs and discharges, much like you often see in the old Frankenstein movies and the wonderful TV shows from the 60s like The Munsters and The Addams Family. Also included are many of the things we use sparks for in our everyday lives including spark plugs, lighting gas stoves, flash tubes, fluorescent lights, neon bulbs, and arc welding.
Influence is a consequence of the force effect between electrical charges. We explain and show what happens.
We show you what effect a tip and a ball have on PVC tubes which are charged with electrostatics.
In this experiment a high frequency high voltage diode is connected to the breakout point of a tesla coil to see if the Tesla coil will produce DC high voltage output instead of alternating current electric field .
Here is an interesting experiment that I am replicating from the JNL website. It is high voltage electrolysis that creates a an underwater plasma, but only on the negative electrode. It requires the use a asymmetrical electrodes, and I must admit, I can not explain the physics behind this phenomenon!? A very interesting video to say the least! Included is a link to the JNL webpage.
http://jlnlabs.online.fr/cfr/ape/index.htm
The Asymmetrical Plasma Electrolysis (APE) is a simple experiment which can be easily performed with few material and uses a common lab equipement. This experiment will demonstrate you very easily that a glow discharge plasma can be observed on the CATHOD during an electrolysis process at a high voltage ( ~ 200 V DC ).
This is the main process used during the high temperature plasma electrolysis (CFR) experiment from Tadahiko Mizuno from the university of Hokkaido in Japan.
A similar experiment has also been performed by Renzo Mondaini (Italy).
To conduct this experiment you need :
1 auto-transformer (0-270V) 13A, 3.51 KVA
1 circuit breaker (230V, 16A )
2 diodes 400 V 5A
1 capacitor 2200 ?F, 500V
1 borrosilicate beaker ( 1000 mL )
2 pure tugnsten rods (commonly used for TIG welding) 2 mm diameter 150 mm length
400 mL of a solution of Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3) at 0.2 M

Why moving charges produce magnetic field?This raise a curious question, does a stationary electric charge affect a needle magnet?
He asks an interesting question at around 14:45.
Does magnetic field not exist at all? Is it only electric field and Coulomb's law?
We show you how dagerous propagating brush discharges could be.
Welcome to episode 16 of our knowledge series "Basics of electrostatics".
With this series we want to share our know how about electrostatics with you to make electrostatic applications safer.
there is wood chips from my garden in the water. The plasma is ignited on the water and attracts the wood chips in all directions.
Recently I found out that Rowland made experiment with rotating copper disc at high voltage which can move small magnetic needles. In other words, moving charged conductor produces magnetic field. Unfortunately I can't find the reference in Wikipedia.This is an interesting experiment to do. I think it can be done using my high voltage generator.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Augustus_Rowland
It's possible that the magnet simply moved due to Eddy current. If that's the case, removing the voltage should have no effect. I guess we can find out by replicating the experiment. I'm curious why it's not more widely known.
Making lightning is fun, and I built a Static electric gun to do just that. It can shoot static across the room, and also deliver a really serious charge.
