+TheLMGN Lol, guess I should have said 'disclaimers'. like "do not try this at home" or "I am not responsible for any injury".
+TheBackyardScientist the cat was obviously your most valuable tool.
***** I don't need it anyways- Oh wait, trying to go to the toilet.

hoi
This is monumentally dangerous.
I'm in.
Andrea Di Stefano same infact I'll try this with a nineteen eighties tv
RandomVideos just say 80s like a human please
@@Yelawolf269 I would like to try this with a Orion 1999 TV but that i don't want to ruin, so i might do it on my Sanyo DS13204 TV.
@@bartschellings5272 I was using voice to text back then, otherwise I probably would’ve
I'm never one to be like OMG UNSAFE, but for people that don't know what they're doing this is absolutely dangerous. Those caps pack enough punch to easily kill someone.
Yes, this! Except for one thing. The cap that holds the charge is actually the CRT itself. So if you remove the CRT without discharging it first you could be in for quite the surprise!
TransientVoltageSpike, I have done removed crt without discharging it before and didn't get shocked
Good point. Just like anything that carries dangers, one should be knowledgeable with it to be able to avoid the dangers. Electricity, explosives and chemicals all have their own specific hazards and one should not endeavor to play with them without an education.
Yea this project is really cool, but if you don't know what you're doing and you don't discharge it you WILL die, but if you discharge it you're all good, you can lick the crt and you'll be fine, but MAKE SURE TO DISCHARGE IT PROPERLY, don't blame me if you injure yourself, you've been warned, honestly the best video on doing that safely is a video the 8 bit guy did on a macintosh, which has a crt in it
There's also a x-ray warning on the tube, if i ever did this to a tv, i swear.
Instructions unclear. Cat got stuck inside the TV
Rubén Moreno why do people comment stuff like this?
Because at least two people find it funny
Because some people find it funny
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for making this video! This is a project I've really wanted to do for a long time but the videos I found online didn't go into enough detail to make me feel I had a firm grasp of what I was doing. And that lack of quality information also made me leery to attempt this because I felt it wouldn't be safe to attempt without better understanding. Thank you for making such an informative video. It really is the best one I've ever seen for this project!
careful with that flyback... they use very cheap insulation, with a powerful driver you can arc right thru the rubber/plastic insulation.
Yeah so I got shocked discharging the dang thing.. Its all good!
wow! your videos rock! I could watch them all day!
Great video! Love the way you complement the actual science with humor!
Thanks chemistry shack :)
+TheBackyardScientist I hope people understood that the flyback transformer was not a joke :)
+TheBackyardScientist think you can try a solar power version of this tv
Love your music choice bro!👌🏻
Brilliant man, i am very impressed... one of those things i barely understand, so thinking of it makes you a genius. Subscribed, obligation to make more videos strengthened.
This is amazing, I love you for explaining it!
Great! I am pumped for new videos!
DOPE!, really useful project and work right out of the box
That's really cool!! Definitely will try this :P
This is amazing I love watching you plus the cats
This is really cool! I found a new weekend project thanks!
Have fun! Let me know if you need help.
***** Are the speakers "listening" to the music from the computer and then directing it to the crt tv, or are they amplifying the music from the computer? Are they plugged into the computer, the crt, or both? That's the only part of the project I have trouble understanding. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS!!
Because if i put the cable directly into my laptop, it barely makes waves...
I am very disappointed that cat wasn't part of the conclusion to this oscilloscope project.
This is amazing!!
This actually works!! Thanks!
WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU TO PLAY GOLD DUST. SUBSCRIBED.
I just found your channel! I'm loving all your videos! You should go a bit more in depth with your explanations though. Great videos! So interesting!
i'm gonna try it soon, purrfect!
Fascinating !
I subscribed! Thanks
Thats an awesome proyect
Good video love it
Why You cross a pair of wire? (From board: brown & yellow, with coil: red & green)

Good music choices
401,
I think the X/Y Or Lissajous mode is essential!
Can you make it able to switch between XY and Linear (Normal) modes?
Vraiment chouette votre vidéo Merci
What interests me the most is what you said about how you turn the television into a homemade Tesla coil :D
Can't wait until you release that particular video in a few days/weeks, it'll be so awesome ^-^
Oh wait.. that was LAST year.. ;-; Guess you never got around to posting it..
thats really awesome
i wonder if you can make the tv display higher frequencies. you can see when you played the saw tooth and square wave the higher harmonic that make up the wave weren't being displayed that's why they were much smoother than an actual saw or square wave. sick project though will definitely be trying this in the next couple weeks
Realize that the CRT charge is at 20,000 volts, before you disregard any warnings!
Take it from someone who has pissed their pants a few time on high voltage. Don't disregard the warnings!
TransientVoltageSpike wow i am really sorry for you! I don't wanna be an asshole but what was the voltage? It sounds like a super high one.
About 400 volts from a photo flash capacitor. Went across my arms and knocked me to the ground.
All it takes to catch you off guard is 12 volts believe it or not! Now that probably won't make you piss your pants but it will give you a surprise when you are working on your car in the middle of the summer. Normally 12 volts isn't enough for you to feel anything, but you lean over while holding the frame of your car and your sweaty forearm grazes on the positive terminal of you car battery and you get a nice tingle on your arm that feels like someone poking you with a sharp needle.
Accidentally toched the voltage test points on a nixie tube kit - 170 volts.
I WAS PRETTY BLOODY AWAKE AFTER THAT!!! :(
Kaylee Fisher lol
You can conect the audio ouput, from a power amplifier, to the vertical deflexion coil ; no conecting the vertical ouput to nothing ,eventualy, you can find an impedance to place at that place...o a normal 220v lamp.
Of course you can not change the time base.
Will be always 50c a second.
The effect of the difference between the 60 and 61 hertz is called a "beat". Basically once every second (the difference between 60 and 61) the waves become destructively interfered and cancel out. That's why you get that wobble!
Naise sooper am happy to watching this video
Once I made this when I was 15 Years old, I added the two channel speaker output to Horizontal Yoke coil and used the sound amplifier amp input as signal input pin and it worked very well .............. I used it to check different things.
nice video!!! :D
how'd u manage the power from transformer to the audio jack when u soldered it to the deflection coils ?????? isn't the speaker gonna blow up?????
Sick!!
I have an old tv and I want to do this, but I also want to salvage parts from the main board for another project. Will this work using only the CRT, transformer, and power supply cable/ fuse circuit?
Boom i have my new show of thingy for the science week, thanks backyard scientist :)

+danijel124 And 2015... And the rest of Taras's life
brilliant
Hey you ... I did this with a black and white tv back in 98' . Nice ....
Awesome.
Do you know if you can do this with any tv or monitor? Or would it have to be an old tv for it to work? I want to replicate that project but I am having a hard time finding a small tv that would fit in my shelf.
Is it possible to make an X/Y mode by tying vertical and horizontal deflection to 2 different channels?
Yes, in fact it might be better to build your own horizontal time base so that you can have a triggered sweep.
yes i wondered this too.
i built one, it works good. time for some jerobeam
coffeehauz thats how that dude made osilacsope music
straight from greatscoth!!
"I hate warnings" 2 seconds later... "Warning!"
can't you hook the left right channel to... let's say the left audio input and the up-down to the right audio input? the red and white plugins and just use a red-white plugin (forgot what they were called) to AUX adapter cord?
This is a great project but I got lost after the warning. 😂😂
EPIC!
im glad i have the cat for the experiment
Are the speakers "listening" to the music from the computer and then directing it to the crt tv, or are they amplifying the music from the computer? Are they plugged into the computer, the crt, or both? That's the only part of the project I have trouble understanding. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS!!
Because if i put the cable directly into my laptop, it barely makes waves...
Very cool
i got my tv to work as an oscilloscope but i couldn;t get the line to do fun stuff. How do i correctly plug in the speakers and microphone for this?
Hi, I tried doing that by plugging both deflection coil on different audio jacks socket (a lot of people doe that to have both X and Y axis displayed when you play music). What I get when I turn the tv on is the initial dot in the middle but it stays super small but becomes really really crazy bright and after a few seconds i hear a pop, the display shuts and after a big static noise appears coming from the back of the tv and continues until I unplug the tv. Any ideas on what's wrong ? Thanks
Same problem here.
same problem
Same here if anyone can help me
I MUST do it some time
thank you but i would have loved to see the reasons and explanations that go with this
3:38 when are you gonna make these vids?
So cool
I used a wireless CCTV monochrome 5" monitor which operated a 14 Volts DC, the result was pretty wack, waves are barely visible and requires a very high input, like a 20 watt amplifier at least to get visble movement, posibly the impedance is too high, still was fun to make
When I turned the Tv on after connecting the horizontal coil to the vertical leads from the circuit board it caught fire. What did I do wrong?
Hey! Tried that myself and now I'm wondering... why isn't the wave occupying all the screen? It happens also in my TV so I would like to make the wave occupy the entire screen. If you or anyone could help I would me much appreciated! Also, great video!
You need more power! Use an audio amplifier between the signal and CRT.
What does he mean by connect the horizontal coil wires to the vertical coil leads? Is that where the horizontal coil wires connect to the circuit? And I just have a dot on my screen, I’m not sure how to see which coil is and isn’t vert.
I’m still confused as to what is supposed to go to what at 1:19 . Also does the polarity matter, or is it still AC? Thx
0:29 best part
Every time I plug the vertical coil wires into the horizontal ones, two little resistors by the coils start flaming and smoking.. What did I do wrong?
I laughed so hard when he gave the warning text the middle finger
When he connected the audio cable to the coil wires, did he use the left and right channels or one of them and the ground? It's hard to tell...
Is it possible to make an X-Y oscilloscope with this method by connecting the other channel to the horizontal coil?
Does this thing have any practical electronic use, for measuring voltage waves?
I connected the vetical coil lead to the horisontal coil as you said, but that burned the tv. As others said. I crossed my fingers and took a chance, but that fucked it. The coil leads is probably producing different current to the different coils, hence different frequencies (60 Hz horizontal and something like 32 kHz vetical). I guess this works on some tellies and not on others.
could this be used to measure modulation for RF purposes?
I have a 5 inch battery powered cfl tv, I'm gonna combine my beats pill to it and do this with the screen, that's for the vid it's exactly what I was looking for
HAHAHA the flux pavillion gold dust remix so classic
what's the use of the cat?
Orange Fox for looks
Yes.
Orange Fox The static electricity of the cats fur will intesify the effect of an oscilloscope.
Nobody discharging the flyback transformer
toxoplasmosis
parabéns,ficou show,também to construindo um...
Niice.. I actually pick perfectly working old CRT TV's out of the trash, I got like 4 of them so far. I didn't watch TV from like 2005 to 2014 Nov when I got an ematic DTV-analog converter at Walmart for 29.99+ a couple bucks for 2 year warranty, because all these digital to analog converters are made to be killed by on air signals, because the powers that be hate the analog loophole in the Digital Millenium, and I love the analog loophole, so I use these to actually watch VHS and on air TV, but it's nice to know they can be used as oscilloscopes too.
GreatScott! just did a video on this
Aww 7 months later and no more TV experiments! :(
Would it work if I played my guitar through this?
why dont you try it out urself?
yes
only if it is an acoustic guitar because that one doesn't need electricity to run and then you can power the telli
well if i plug in my electric guitar the lights go out and i have to get a new fuse box because the old one burned up
A bit of an old reply I know, but nonetheless a great idea!
You should be able to do so, you just might need to plug your guitar into a preamp first :) you can use your guitar amp, if it has a effects return loop, or you can use a traditional audio interface.
Great shot with the evil cat! 1:14
3:29 OMG PERFECT TRIANGLE WAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
huh, a lot can change in one year
I have a giant old crt tv laying around in my basement. This will be fun
Amazing! Sadly I don't have an old TV.
connect the input to a rochelle's salt microphone, dunk it underwater snd send a signal to the water, you will be able to see a section of the bottom of the sea!~
Do i wanna knooow, if this feeling flows both ways?
I need someone to play “Do I Wanna Know” through an oscilloscope
Can someone help me when I disconnect the vertical coil it goes in protection mode after showing the horizontal line for a few seconds
0:39 - literally the only bit of the video I couldn't understand what you said, and also the most important from a "if you like living" perspective.
What was said? I sort of got "You must dischargid(?) transformer"
Ta :)
I think he said "You must discharge flyback transformer"
What if you were to hook the left audio channel up to vertical and right audio channel up to horizontal? what would the effects be? (Or Vice Versa)
RyuunosukePanda the channel does not really matter. If you put the audio in the other deflection coil it would end up modulating the horizontal scan and you will get a inch thick horizontal bar across the screen.
***** I was hoping it would do something else. What if you were to use audio to modulate an electromagnet to produce varying color lines?
RyuunosukePanda Yes you could defiantly do that. Depending where you put the magnet, you can create lots of different effects.
I might have to give that a try
***** you can have completely different things going through each channel, the channel definitely does matter
My waves are kinda thin and dont have much virtical movement. How would i change this?
For whatever reason when I connect the supply of the vertical coil to the horizontal coil, it doesn't produce a picture. It does produce a picture when the horizontal is connected to it's own, because it isn't at 60hz the waveform is indistinguishable. Probably just junk circuitry in a low quality tv. I'll try an amplifier feeding sound to both coils to see.
Hey did it ever work
@@latinacroft sorry, no I never figured it out. I'd like to try again sometime though!
this TVscilloscope only showed low frequencies. because you plugged the vertical coil to SUBWOOFER output of your speakers set...
Try to put a non filtered amplified output. You will then see real Sine, Sawtooth or even square lines!
But nice idea btw
No you won't. The coils are essentially inductors, meaning that any high frequencies will be suppressed. No matter what output you hook up to them they will always display filtered sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waves. This is the reason why oscilloscopes use electrostatic deflection over magnetic
Matt is correct, And the reason I used the sub output was because the output would be less cluttered, and stronger.
"just completely disregard this warning" *hits it with his car*
I think i like this guy... 😂
Can you make the TV into an x/y mode oscilloscope?
