The primary goal of this video, is to find the components needed to build the DRSSTC design that was done in 10’ish minutes. The parts are either bought online, like the printed circuit boards, primary / secondary coil and topload. Other parts are found from my boxes of teardown / recycled materials, like the IGBTs, […]

In this video I challenge myself to design a complete Tesla Coil in 10 minutes! The overall design limits include: DRSSTC topology, less than 1 meter tall and must use as many easy to obtain parts as possible. This is part 1 of a series of videos and articles on the Kaizer DRSSTC VII. As a

This video and article is about the 4 MV (that is 4.000.000 Volt !) Van De Graaff generator (VDG) that was installed at the Copenhagen University Department of Theoretical Physics (UITF). UITF was later in 1969 renamed to Niels Bohr Institute, after its founder, Nobel Laurate and famous Danish scientist. The 4 MV VDG was

The scope of this video is to make current transformers for soft switching inverters, in either Tesla coil, induction heaters or other inverter types using resonant switching. This video end article, should enable you to identify the correct construction according to your inverter design limitations. Key points appearing in the video. This post will not

This is the third video in a series of three(now four), on how to get started with the DRSSTC UD3 Tesla coil driver. In this video I wanted to make sparks. I made some sparks, but never got to play MIDI/SID 🙁 I failed. There will have to be a 4th video with proper sparks

This is a teardown of a complete x-ray system, with control panel, x-ray head with high voltage transformer and collimator. The Philips Practix system is a mobile system, usually mounted on a trolley, with the x-ray head on a separate arm assembly. It has a large and small focus fixed anode X-ray tube, the maximum

Teardown of a ABB 5.5 kW ACH550 HVAC Variable Frequency Drive. HVAC is short for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. In this application I will say its purely marketing, as HVAC industry is mostly based on cheap prices and drives are marketed specifically with low prices to this and maybe focus on high efficiency at
