Yes, it will make fluorescent light's glow dimly. However that can be dangerous to try, as it is also capable of charging CFL's like a capacitor which will discharge if the terminals are touched with potentially dangerous amounts of current.
The only reason it functions in the video is the sand having been placed on foil, making this work on a beach or dessert setting would require much much more than a lethal dose of electricity
just a trick I learned a while ago from my old Electronics teacher: you can actually use your soldering iron to shrink heat shrink tubing rather than getting out a lighter. Great video though and a fun project!
Not to fear slightly statically charged man is here, just give me a ring and ill do my thing. *pick up phone, phone breaks. Damn- maybe ill be a supervillan instead. *slowly stealing every grain of sand. No more holidays mwhahahaha
From an idea from AfroTech (the "Pikashoes", before the time of TH-cam) back in 2004, I put a negative ion generator's (a 12V car portable one) module in a shoe, and had fun shocking people at school in 7th grade. The best results were when someone would sit in a desk, with a metal connection between the generator's ground and the subject, and then I would rub my hand through their hair, giving multiple shocks.
neutronen stern See, this has a huge voltage behind it, but basically no current, and each spark has a very short period, so it outputs very little power. Very high voltage sparks (such as lightning) can be dangerous, but that is due to the plasma from the arc superheating the air and any water nearby, and tends to kill from the explosion created by superheated steam, and burns from the plasma arc.
very nice tutorial. I made an upgraded version for a Halloween costume. I went as "High Voltage". I used 3 (9 volt batteries) in PARALLEL very important to not do series. ran the wires through a hole in a cargo pocket and screwed a plate into my shoe. and ran a second set of wires under my shirt into some electro-luminescent wire that surrounded a silkscreen print saying "danger! high voltage!" * worthy note: I had to triple insulate EVERYTHING with rubber spray. I was getting voltage loss and getting zapped many times before i found all the leaks. But its been a hit so far! I can do a short vid if anyone wants. Thanks Nighthawk!
everyone that wants to buy them your looking at a good 50$ at least in parts so like 60 or 65$ im half tempted to start making and selling them while still giving this guy money for the idea
Can you use this project and combined the PVC gauntlet? Just taking out the PVC handle and holding on to the bolt and connecting two wires to each hinge
I remember watching these videos and being amazed..but didnt understand anything,i went and studied electronics for a year and im back and can understand everything : )
I think I'm going to ask my electronic specialist to build me one of these. Can you please tell me will it light a fluorescent light that you hold in your hand ?
+bRad “bRadicalMagic” Nichols Yes, it will. But I've found it charges them like capacitors and the lights can then give you a nasty shock so I don't recommend it.
I built one of these and it functions great! And when I was expirementing with metals I found something awesome. If you hold aluminum foil when the device is on, it becomes charged with static electricity and sticks to just about everything. I even stuck it to my brother!
The ampere (SI unit symbol: A), often shortened to amp,[1] is the SI unit of electric current[2][3] (dimension symbol: I)[4] and is one of the seven[5] SI base units. It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics. It's on the wiki!
We had this old 40" CRT that had been sitting around unplugged for months, because my father wanted to repair it, but in the end, a brand new large LCD panel was cheaper than replacement parts for an aging TV. So, on day, I was looking for my father's soldering iron, and it was next to this thing. So I bend to pick it up and doing so I place my hand flat on the backside of the CRT. Next thing I remember I was laying on my back some 6 feet away.
Doniyorbek Abdullaev The distance may increase, but you will need exponentially more power to increase the linear range. To have any useful effect, you would need more power than can be carried, and would be frying all the people and electronics you got close to.
MagmaRhino It is "on the ground" aka. it has a "connection with the ground", that's why he puts the metal under his foot... So yeah, it does have ground connection and it would turn on, depending on how many watts the lightbulb is on :)
LuuxIor. Ljungberg No...you don't get how electricity works do you? First of all, the ground on his foot is isolated from his body via the rubber shoe sole. The only way for the high (his body) to get to the ground (on the bottom of his shoe) is if whatever he touches is somehow touching the physical ground he is standing on (assuming whatever it is that is touching is slightly conductive). So therefore, no. A lightbulb wont turn on unless you soldered a wire to the negative output and let the wire touch the ground.
MagmaRhino What you are saying here is incorrect, because there runs a fricking wire from the plate under his shoe, to the machine. So no, it doesnt matter if it's rubber of fucking metal shoes he is wearing. Second of all; Static electricity is what this machine generates, and static electricity of this amount will EASILY charge a lightbulb. Boo fucking hoo.
Check my channel for a new version of this video using a DC generator instead. The supplier of those generators is also on backorder now, but similar ones are still available on ebay and such.
Newer comment, Is it possible to damage the device itself with your own electrical discharge by touching the power switch with too much of a charge built?
You might be able to damage the power inverter, but the ion generator should be able to handle some high voltage without damage. I've never broken one.
NightHawkInLight OK i need a question answered fast, on a scale from 1 to 10, how safe is this device? 1 being easily lethal, 10 being harmless. and will i feel pain when i discharge when i am done?
I stood up from my couch, I reached over to press the power button on my Playstation 2 (The silver colored one). A Lightning bolt from "HELL" shot from my finger tip and fried my Playstation 2.... Static electricity sucks!!! LOL!!
+Griffin Ellison Look up Tesla he once tried to advocate wireless conductive charging and proved this can happen but using people to hold up light bulbs and powering the bulbs. This was during the war of AC vs DC
in my attempts in becoming cole from infamous... I WAS SUCCESSFUL! a backpack full of industrial capacitors, a car battery, and a rubber sack to put it all in, I made a spider explode...
wait why? you dont need gauntlets, you have the power to control electricity and sand! using the gauntlets will block the "output" (kinda depending on the material)
jlazer briefly showed one he made in a video and that got me interested in making this myself thank you for making this video i'm not sure i could have done this project without this info
*Goes up to kid's rap music player, shocks it* (Kid) "Hey man now I'm going to F### you up" *I notice he's wearing a metal chain around his neck, puts my hand on it* End of story, kid goes to doctors with strange burn marks on his neck.
Nothing, when there's electrons from the ground and they get transferred into an object it creates and equal connection. Just say the ground has 10 Electrons and the body has 0. When a connection is made you gain 5 electrons and the ground losses 5 electrons. The body has 5 electrons and the ground has 5 electrons. 5+5=10 and therefore it is equal. More generators will do nothing because both objects will always have an equal amount is electrons
+Night Hawk I'm not sure I understand this example. Why does the ground start off with a negative charge? I do understand the intuition that perhaps there is a "maximum charge" that a negative ion generator can create on a person, beyond which more generators won't do anything, kind of like a bunch of batteries in parallel. But isn't there a way to connect these in series to get more charge? (I'm not familiar with these devices).
+Bizorke no, there is no difference between 1 and 20, you will just be able to shock faster once you start moving around, because of the larger surface area in contact.
Made this when I was a kid. It was awesome. I shocked all my friends and they shocked me. When I first tried it I didn’t realize it would shock me too 😂much
Well, by levitate I meant like hold it to your hand, as though you were an electromagnet. Not like, make it float in mid air, but I was wondering if you could attract metals?
If you hold the ends of a fluorescent bulb it will indeed light. Static electricity generated by jumping on a trampoline will make it light for a second, this will probably make it flicker. A low voltage LCD light would probably also work.
Well to prevent from accidental shock to some devices I suggest using a button not a switch... Make some longer wires so youre able to fit in your pocket or something
why is it necessary to have the high voltage ground plate touching the surface you're standing on? Im pretty sure I understand why it's attached to your shoe (but please correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, here's my best educated guess: The high voltage positive of the supply is solidly contacted to the wearers skin. Since your body is well insulated by the shoe from the surface your standing on, your body is able to hold a strong positive charge. otherwise as the high voltage positive of the supply pulls electrons from your body, electrons would be pulled from the floor to neutralize the difference in charge so your body is shorting the HV output of the supply. Since you're wearing the insulating rubber shoes , you're body gains a strong, sustainable positive charge and results in a small parasitic capacitance between your body and the HV ground. So it makes sense why you'd connect the HV ground plate to the bottom of your shoe since this will increase this capacitance due to the added surface area of the plate and its closer proximity to your body. But why is it important that the floor touch HV ground? I know you're right and I'm sure it's probably a very simple reason for this but I'm missing it. anyway sorry, RECAP: -SHOES KEEP BODY FROM LOSING CHARGE THRU THE FLOOR -YOUR BODY IS THE POSITIVE 'PLATE' OF A CAPACITOR WITH THE GROUND PLATE UNDER YOUR SHOE INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CHARGE STORED PER VOLTAGE, AND THUS, PRODUCING A STRONGER ELECTRIC FIELD AROUND YOUR BODY. now if any of that is wrong please let me know and also help explain the purpose of the standing surface and HV ground contact.
I actually had the opportunity of building one of these and it works quite amazingly well with my biofeedback experimentation(by letting me boost my energy BEFORE testing my levels). Utilizing it even an hour a day seems to increase conductivity or enhancement of receptors for receiving more fluxea of negative ions, resulting in ALOT better vibes. This really is no toy but it isn't so difficult to build so anyone attempting to use... make sure you are healthy and know what you're getting into. Thanks for the schematics, Nighthawk.
You don't say? I was like 11 years old. I'm 23 now and while I don't actually have a degree in electrical engineering like my dad, I know enough to repair most of my stuff. I got shocked dozens of time more after that. I actually got socked on 120v by flicking a light switch, no idea how that happened. But I've learned my lesson. I"m never touching a cathode ray tube again.
Hey how is it going i was wondering if you could give better discription of ion generator since i see several negitive ion generators on ebay thanks jim
Sir, i have an issue with my negative ion generator. I am not getting an electric arc between the ground wire and the long red wire. Whats the problem? I am using an AC generator, but its not one exactly like the one you used. Mine has an "electricity outlet" on it as well as a USB outlet. Also, mine does not have the two prongs that yours has that red and black wires form the ion generator plug into. Also, my negative ion generator looks exactly like yours, even has the same model number on it, but mine has a green ground wire coming out of it, in addition to the other three wires. Any advice would surely be appreciated.
Or just electronics lol but I really want to know if it's possible using the same method maybe a voltage. If so is risky. What I am asking is could I just randomly start cooking eggs like for guests? Could they eat it (is it edible?) if it's possible?
if you touch water will you get hurt? and what about stepping in it? and can you make the voltage high enough to knock someone unconscious, without doing it to yourself. and if you went to a beach would you create a sandstorm?
So , theoretically, if you made an identical one for your right leg and connected them both to one common power supply , say a motorcycle battery or similar , then maybe as you walked around having one foot touching the ground and the other off the ground as you walk you might be capable of " charging " a secondary battery system or something ?
may I know what is the voltage output from your finger? will there be any health risk to the user if the device is switched on the whole day. I see potential fun toy in this invention.

Those with pace makers or cardioinverter defibrillators should not wear this device.
excellent thought! this should be added as a disclaimer at the beginning of the video, or in description.
dont touch people with this who might get angry.And if you put this thing at a car it could eventually generate enough charge to be very dangerous.

It's just running on a 9 volt battery, it's fine. At the absolute most, it might hurt a bit for 5 seconds.

MaxTheKanuck #JoinTheMasterRace No, since it do run on a 9-volt battery but it provides a high-voltage charge.
Терентий Малышев Maybe, but all volts do is carry AMP's. A 9 volt battery outputs a very small amount of AMPs.

If you get higher voltage, would it react from farther distance?
Doniyorbek Abdullaev would assume so because with a higher voltage there would be more attraction
yeah, get smth like 220V, and you can play SandMan in Spider man movie :D

The distance may increase, but you will need exponentially more power to increase the linear range. To have any useful effect, you would need more power than can be carried, and would be frying all the people and electronics you got close to.

If you hold the ends of a fluorescent bulb it will indeed light. Static electricity generated by jumping on a trampoline will make it light for a second, this will probably make it flicker. A low voltage LCD light would probably also work.
His soldering iron is so cool!
Not likely, but potentially.
Wonder if breathing in relatively negative charged air for a length of time has any effect.
Well to prevent from accidental shock to some devices I suggest using a button not a switch... Make some longer wires so youre able to fit in your pocket or something
why is it necessary to have the high voltage ground plate touching the surface you're standing on? Im pretty sure I understand why it's attached to your shoe (but please correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, here's my best educated guess: The high voltage positive of the supply is solidly contacted to the wearers skin. Since your body is well insulated by the shoe from the surface your standing on, your body is able to hold a strong positive charge. otherwise as the high voltage positive of the supply pulls electrons from your body, electrons would be pulled from the floor to neutralize the difference in charge so your body is shorting the HV output of the supply. Since you're wearing the insulating rubber shoes , you're body gains a strong, sustainable positive charge and results in a small parasitic capacitance between your body and the HV ground. So it makes sense why you'd connect the HV ground plate to the bottom of your shoe since this will increase this capacitance due to the added surface area of the plate and its closer proximity to your body. But why is it important that the floor touch HV ground? I know you're right and I'm sure it's probably a very simple reason for this but I'm missing it.
anyway sorry, RECAP:
-SHOES KEEP BODY FROM LOSING CHARGE THRU THE FLOOR
-YOUR BODY IS THE POSITIVE 'PLATE' OF A CAPACITOR WITH THE GROUND PLATE UNDER YOUR SHOE INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CHARGE STORED PER VOLTAGE, AND THUS, PRODUCING A STRONGER ELECTRIC FIELD AROUND YOUR BODY.
now if any of that is wrong please let me know and also help explain the purpose of the standing surface and HV ground contact.
hello Sr First of all I want to thank you about your ideas , I want to ask if it works against salty water
Sorry for my ignorance, what is that small spheric bulb he's using to test the electricity, and looks like a small plasma ball?
what if you touch door handles or other metal conductive material is it just going to give you a tingling feeling or do you get a painful shock?
I actually had the opportunity of building one of these and it works quite amazingly well with my biofeedback experimentation(by letting me boost my energy BEFORE testing my levels). Utilizing it even an hour a day seems to increase conductivity or enhancement of receptors for receiving more fluxea of negative ions, resulting in ALOT better vibes. This really is no toy but it isn't so difficult to build so anyone attempting to use... make sure you are healthy and know what you're getting into. Thanks for the schematics, Nighthawk.
The website, for negative ion generators, in the video description does not have any left in stock. Where else could I get one?
I just watch the video on the plasma cuter, and I wanted to know if this project can be done with an electric lighter ?
You don't say?
I was like 11 years old. I'm 23 now and while I don't actually have a degree in electrical engineering like my dad, I know enough to repair most of my stuff. I got shocked dozens of time more after that. I actually got socked on 120v by flicking a light switch, no idea how that happened.
But I've learned my lesson. I"m never touching a cathode ray tube again.
Hey how is it going i was wondering if you could give better discription of ion generator since i see several negitive ion generators on ebay thanks jim
Can you further explain the hookup procedure for the replacement ionizer you linked? Thanks a lot!
Sir, i have an issue with my negative ion generator. I am not getting an electric arc between the ground wire and the long red wire. Whats the problem?
I am using an AC generator, but its not one exactly like the one you used. Mine has an "electricity outlet" on it as well as a USB outlet. Also, mine does not have the two prongs that yours has that red and black wires form the ion generator plug into. Also, my negative ion generator looks exactly like yours, even has the same model number on it, but mine has a green ground wire coming out of it, in addition to the other three wires. Any advice would surely be appreciated.
can u amplify the affect with multiples of this? If so can u make a video on the affect diffrences?
Or just electronics lol but I really want to know if it's possible using the same method maybe a voltage. If so is risky. What I am asking is could I just randomly start cooking eggs like for guests? Could they eat it
(is it edible?) if it's possible?
if you touch water will you get hurt? and what about stepping in it? and can you make the voltage high enough to knock someone unconscious, without doing it to yourself. and if you went to a beach would you create a sandstorm?
are these the same Negative ion generators found in Ionic Breezes?
Yeah :) me too this video really inspired me to take part in a science expo in my country!
is it possible to make this with some kind of "floating ground"? something built into the device like other handheld battery powered devices?
So , theoretically, if you made an identical one for your right leg and connected them both to one common power supply , say a motorcycle battery or similar , then maybe as you walked around having one foot touching the ground and the other off the ground as you walk you might be capable of " charging " a secondary battery system or something ?
may I know what is the voltage output from your finger? will there be any health risk to the user if the device is switched on the whole day. I see potential fun toy in this invention.
