Re: Spark gap

Hello Jakob, you quoted me.

The way I see your drawing I should use the energy to pass it through a transformer before. The spark is quite small and if you touch your fingers there is a tingling, I do not think that you can draw the power from it.

On my Youtube channel, I have a better experiment on the connection of the earth.

It's about a diode splitter transformer from an old TV with which I generate high voltage and discharge the energy over a spark gap.

When I connect the earth to the negative side minus the spark gap arcing increases sharply to the number in the same time, without the extra energy being applied.

I find that very interesting that over the earth apparently extra energy is sucked in.

Personally, I find it very dangerous to work with these voltages, and spark gaps are not my cup of tea since it produces ozone and is not exactly health promoting. laughing.
