i really wanna build this!

I think you're BOLD, just standing so close. But yes! Most of the time, we (discover) new things about electricity/ electronics when we're out in the field.

Could u do the transformer of sweety a

With Tesla coil the (air)capacitor is there mass of the wire and moist ground. The resonance can be kicked on by shutting the flow, so it will create a water hammer effect that produces back spike to the circuit. Or a static discharge from external source.

Great explanation!

Oh sh*t! Run!

Impressive, Thank you!

Pretty damn cool! I’ve always seen the aftermath. And for every single time, it happened to Delta-delta transformer banks. That’s just from my experience. I’ve seen entire H Racks burn to the ground because of this! Thank you for this demonstration

thanks a lot, I laughed so much

Great explanation, but Microwave is not healthy as it destroy the structure of the water

If you were a university course teacher then it would be great

Kool !

Nice build. Love it!!!

Great video, you are an inspiring person!

Excellent video Hi please do a video on how delta Y transformer handles unbalanced secondary loads while keeping primary currents balanced .

Great video 👍

Thanks for breaking it down to simplest terms my brother!

Hats off to you sir. That a work of art

Chaos theory? Ghost phenomena? Really?

I just realized we went to climb school together. Great video! I'm glad to see you are doing well.

Despite the humor with the Ken doll and music, the experiment shows just how serious even a tiny arc flash can be. Those burns the doll got would be just as bad (actually worse) on real flesh. Now, multiply that by hundreds of times (a typical 120v arc like you'd get working on hot wires in a house) to tens of thousands (Commercial or industrial switchgear) or millions (power transmission/distribution) and you can easily see that arc flash is no joke. In my career I have experienced arc flash a few times at both the residential and commercial levels, and it was only my PPE and a LOT of luck that my worst injuries were some singed hair and ringing ears. Some incidents are caused by damaged equipment, but most are caused by "experienced" workers getting complacent and working on energized gear when not necessary. All it takes is one small slip up to cause a serious arc flash. Stay safe!

Great learning opportunity. Thank you kind Sir. it made my day.

Where can I get one of your amazing transformers

Awsome mate, your videos are super high quality,, good work 😎👍👍👍 ... Steve

Great video⚡️⚡️

The soft 60Hz hum, heard in the background of the 1st scene, was not by design. It was the result of a bad audio component. It is by sheer coincidence that the noise happens to coincide with a description of poor power quality. 😎

This is put together very well! Had to watch it again. ⚡🤙

Wow. Very impressive. Thank you!

That's amazing 😊

Conceptually, I want to agree with those conclusions but I’ve recently done a similar experiment and am running into some issues that perhaps someone can rectify. Using an LRC meter, I measured the inductance of the high voltage winding of a 2kva control transformer. The inductance was 0.6 Henry. Using the 2πfL formula, that gives an reactive impedance of 2π(60)(.6) = 226ohms. The winding resistance was 2 ohms, making for a total impedance of 228ohms. The applied voltage was 120V rms. Using rearranged ohms law (i= v/Z) that should yield a excitation current of 120V/228ohms = 0.5amps. However, when I measure excitation current, the actual measurement is an order of magnitude lower (0.04 amps). To be that low, the actual impedance must be something closer to 3000ohms instead of the 228 ohms that was empirically measured. Assuming both LRC and ammeter are correct, does anyone have thoughts on this discrepancy?

Admittedly, no "ferro", but I would guess a tesla "coil" which is really just an air-spaced transformer deliberately driven at resonance is very similar to this effect. if you drive a Tesla Coil out of resonance, you can get a fairly predictable "turns ratio" based output. Once resonance is achieved, things get exciting and the voltage has no (theoretical) limit iIRC. A difference though, is that the resonance on a Tesla is a function of the capacitance and inductance of the Primary only - if the output coil is loaded, the TC stays in resonance. Yet it seems that with ferroresonance here, the secondary would dampen the effect (or I guess could possibly bring it *into* resonance ????) Thanks for the video, i didn't know it was an issue with power distribution kit.

Wow!! How do you keep the arcs from hitting the secondary?

Could we make ferroresonace test for CVT in routine test with application of voltage on the secondary side ?

Very cool! Stuff they don't teach us in the field.

Parasitic capacitance? 🤔 Sounds a lot like energy induction from the atmosphere. Free energy

Gigacoil new Collab

3500 Cats? Is that a peak shaving plant?

Could I ask how you built your transformers? Also, could this phenomenon be replicated with a wye primary and a delta secondary? I would love to show this to my students. Thanks!

Good work! I like that the high side isn't ground reference.

Love the Video and very informative ⚡️⚡️

Thanks for not being to normal "this is how yout take a MOT and make art....aka kill yourself...."

That's beautiful, I want one the same, it looks like a tree😁 I will try adding the trunk 😅😅 good work mate 😎

Awesome setup as always 😎

That looks nicely in tune - did you use PF correction caps to get the power factor so high? I wonder what makes the arc sit for a second or so before moving on!

Why stop at linesman man,electrical engineering.Frickin awesome man!Would have loved to see the r&d testing! Just awesome!

Incredible job researching and recreating this phenomenon. As far as I can tell not much data collection has been done on this topic, been in the power field for over a decade. And it needs to happen because this will cause XFMRs to blow! Engineers will grumble when you ask about it 😂. So true!

Can I pet big Jim?

That's an epic coil

Megavolt homeschool. Would you be able to contact me about this? We have this issue on our grid here in Virginia and I'm trying to figure out how to fix the problem
