well I have lots of parts on order :) enough to build 2, going to give 1 to my Uncle. will report back when I get time to put it all together . thx for taking the time to make these videos !
I did but then I would have another set of cables up and back from the gun. For this model I just wanted the positive high voltage line only. Completely doable though.
Yes, got one for free from someone who was renovating their kitchen. The powder I currently have requires 10 mins @ 200 deg C. Once it has cooled it is good to go.
What if you ground to earth the workpiece? Does the powder still sticks to the part? I'll make mine inspired on yours, my unit which was cascade model failed, I bought the cascade to replace and now its malfunctioning, dont know what's actually going on but I have a few parts to paint that cant wait no longer, just bought the items you used and try to make mine, did you use regular cables, is that safe to keep my hand close to these cables, spark doesnt go through the cables? 400kv is huge hehe Thanks for sharing I really wish you the best things in life!
I haven't needed to ground the work piece. I just connect the negative wire the work piece and it works a treat. In the version in the video I used 20AWG wire and the high voltage would sometimes short due to the insulation being too thin. I have since changed to 16AWG and the problem went away. 400kV is not accurate I have since some gap tests (max distance for spark to jump) and it is more like 15-40kV depending on supply voltage.
@@tinkersmith4615 thanks for replying :D I'll try to make one of these and use 40kv rated cable and a relay to pneumatic valve and transformer, so I can still use the hopper and other parts from my older units..
@@tinkersmith4615 is it still working properly (high voltage generator) ??, because mine is often damaged, does it have to be shorted every 5 minutes??
Have you got a regulating current source driving your high voltage module? The power supply in this video is set to 4V and limited to 2.5A. With a current limiter I found it would over supply the high voltage module and burn it out.

Did not think of duty cycle. Nice to know it will not melt or explode.
great vid and interesting project. HAve you considered wiring in a switch to the gun trigger to turn the unit on only when you're spraying.

I guess you use an electric household stove’s oven to cure a work piece. At what temp. ( F. ) does it set at and how long is the cure time.

Sounds like a plan. If possible, I would love to hear how it all worked out.
How can I find you? Hehe youtube keep deleting my contact info when I send here in comments
Perhaps you could make a little TH-cam video and post the link here?
Should I add a fan to mine?
I guess it depends how much you will be using it at any one time. I have had no problems with using it without fan, in a box with no ventilation.
I'm from Indonesia, the purpose of this video is to test the durability of high voltage?? so that it is not easily damaged is that so?
Yes. I wanted to see what would happen if I ran it for a reasonable period of time.

Have seen this video: th-cam.com/video/6dXSpUkiLv8/w-d-xo.html I show how to configure the regulating power supply from 6:50.
@@tinkersmith4615 okay thanks for the input sir, I,II try it first,later if i need help i,ii as again, thank you veri mauch
