The Toshiba Toughbook CF-18 is a laptop, used for field engineering work back from 2006 where it was released. I am doing a quick overview and demonstration of this laptop. A glimpse of computer history to have a record of things, as this was decommissioned and scrapped by the company that owned it. More than […]

This is the third experiment with the bank of 35 electrolytic capacitors connected in series. Results are better than the theoretical estimate, which was 6000 A limited by ESR. So getting just over 7000 A is good, but the result is still a little tame when it comes to action. These tests had the bank

Here I am doing a teardown on a IBM blade server HS22V dated back to 2010. The IBM BladeCenter HS22V blade server supports up to two multi-core Intel Xeon microprocessors and has eighteen memory-module slots, two SSD storage-drives bays, one Horizontal-compact-form-factor (CFFh) expansion card connector, one Vertical-combination-I/O (CIOv) connector, and one internal USB connector. Microprocessor:

Second charge experiment with the bank of 35 electrolytic capacitors connected in series. The bank did however not get charged to more than 50% of its maximum holding charge, due to too weak power supply. More results will follow when a new power supply have been made and tested. All discussion about this bank can

I have had the Loneoceans midi2 controller for a while. I just never got around to put it together. Now that I finally have it boxed up, you can see how that was done here. : https://highvoltageforum.net/index.php?topic=114.0 If you want your own MIDI modulator, you can buy it here: http://loneoceans.com/labs/sales/midi2/. Here are 4 videos I
