Spark Machine
materials:
- shotcky diode
- 9 volt battery
- 400 volt capacitor
note: BE CAREFUL WITH THE CHARGED CAPACITOR! THE CURRENT WILL EASILY PARALYZE YOUR HAND!!!!!
Locate Poles...
locate the positive and negative poles.
...solder...
now, solder the negative lead (on the diode) to the positive lead on the capacitor.
...charge/discharge.
Now for this step, put the positive lead on the positive terminal of the battery and negative on negative for 5-10 seconds. To spark this Instructable, touch the leads to any conductive metal and watch 400 arching volts charge the ions in the air and spark!!!!!!!!!!!!!
