Re: [TCML] OT high voltage DC power supply PLEASE HELP

[Brandon Garretson <garretsontech@xxxxxxxxx>]

Household ionic filters are powered by small flybacks, Ive torn apart
two so far.
Flybacks and kids (although it would be amusing to watch) do not sound
like a smart idea.
I recommend building Van de Graaff generators.
The voltages created are high enough to be impressive and entertaining
but they are also by nature a constant current device and always
remain well below safe current levels.
Mine is only two feet tall with a 12 inch sphere and I can draw well
over 12 inch sparks.
Not to mention the old hair standing on end thing is always fun.
A bunch of pretty cool experiments can be conducted with them as well.
There are multiple fields of engineering involved in their design and
construction; mechanical, electrical, physics, etc.
All of the parts are readily available and fairly inexpensive.
This link will tell you everything about their construction and operation,
