Ok Sgt. Wookie, here's what you said:
"Additionally, if you attempt to experiment with high voltage without proper safety precautions ... your life will most certainly be cut short.
If you really want to try this stuff, send it to me, and I'll test it for you.
At least I have the knowledge and training to survive these kinds of tests."
I'm ready for you to test 'this'. Uses a dual 555 timer circuit shown here. (link soon). It generates variable width pulsed dc packets from 1 to 500kHz.
Use a high speed driver to power a trench FET; 12V control signal (or cmos), 150V max gating.
Pass the 100V pulsed DC into a LARGE capacitor, say 8800uF 250V, about 8" tall 4" diam.
Pass the cap output into step up transorfmer(s).
Apply the signal to a bifilar wound choke coil.
Apply the high voltage output (40kV needed at
2 mm spacing) to a pair of insulated electrodes submerged in water in close parallel alignment.
I'm using a pair of 304 grade stainless steel plates separated and held together by rubber bands. I've sanded the opposing faces to facilitate the build up and adhesion of a dielectric oxide layer. This is crucial. The layer must be built up gradually using low amperage at first and gradually increased over a month or so. Once amps severely drop off, you have a conditioned plate. The resistive layer will curtail amp flow, spike voltage, and cause major gas production.
Ok on second thought, I don't feel like mailing all that stuff, why don't you just send me your oscope, ammeter, and guitar tuner and I'll adjust the frequency myself. RESONANCE BABY
