- DO NOT TRY AT HOME.
These capacitor banks are extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury or death.
Sorry about the long break in videos. If you would like to know the full details, I can provide some through the discord.

A deuterium filled thyratron would easily switch your capacitor bank. Tens of kV possibly at tens of kA. Driver circuit is pretty simple, just need to bias the grid negative and then shoot it positive to initiate discharge.
I thought about trying with an ignitron I have on hand but a thyratron would probably be the safer option of the two.
this is really impressive, especially indoors
Capacitor banks scare me more than any other high voltage project lmao
Cool video!
Niceee, i just started learning about electricity, i have a chem lab, im gona try something like this
With proper safety precautions
To protect the power SCR when using them in a coil gun circuit put a HV diode of the same voltage (or a 100 volts less) and amperage in reverse across the anode and cathode
2:19. I noticed this also happens with uv lights on pvc heatshrink and never really knew why. I was smoking the jazz cabbage when I first discovered it so needless to say it blew my mind
On another TH-cam channel The Backyard Scientist one of his friends made a 20,000 volt hv capacitor bank that could be fired remotely by tripping a large switch, they blew up a pickle and a watermelon and did some bridge-wire explosions across a doll!
The Fluorescence could even be due to soft x-rays ( very short wave Ultra-violet) did you see the same Fluorescence happening in the DBX screen is that also a Electrolytic caps film?
This looks like a great capacitor bank for experimentation. I would love to see that 1000V bank used for a electrothermal gun, you should be able to get some very good efficiency at such a high voltage. You could probably get around 5 to 10% electrical to kinetic efficiency with an decent setup. How are you charging your 1000V bank?
The current charging setup is a rectified variac powered MOT. When I rearrange the capacitors to optimize can crushing (5000V), I throw a Cockcroft Walton made from microwave diodes and capacitors on the MOT output.
I saw your testing of that electrothermal gun on your channel. Very interesting stuff.
If you have a number or email, I’d be eager to talk to you about testing out electrothermal guns. I’ve done some preliminary testing today on the 30-50 J scale and I think it would make for a great project.
Have you seen James Hoopman's work with capacitors of this size? You can create high-energy plasma tori that can burn common materials, shatter glass, and leave marks on metal with capacitors like this and minimal materials! You could also make an electrothermal gun (basically a gun with the gunpowder substituted with a some of that exploding metal foil). Check his channel out here, he's a pretty cool dude and he was happy to help me design my own "plasma gun": th-cam.com/channels/XSYIcPog2YGWJZ3jwhhKhA.htmlvideos
Cool
I like that
Keep up the good stuff
Love your videos! Keep it up
Would putting that 1400joules into a big coil create a emp blast?
Excelent
I'm making a coil soon that will output 1,200joules just from 12v car battery no caps for a coilgun but it'll probably be more like a coil cannon at 10kg of wire 173 wires in parallel to equal 100amps input, theres no way a little coil can utilize 1,200 joules
Brother how do you know 500v x 1000uF produce 125 Joule? Can you teach me how to calculate it? Thank you for this video
Energy = 0.5 * Capacitance * Voltage^2
125 J = 0.5 * 0.001F * (500V)^2
i would love to have those capacitors. can u build a real coil gun with these?(6 stages is good) the coil guns on internet are all weak and just for getting views.
hi, nice vid.
I have a question about something different.
How I can optimize the birkeland eyde reactor, that you built a few years for a better efficiency?
You could probably increase the efficiency by close to an order of magnitude by blowing the air directly into the plasma arc while also using strong permanent magnets to flatten the plasma into a disk. Larger disk area would mean more breakdown of molecules in air.
@@DBXLabs Thanks 😁👍
cool
And the purpose of this is????
Its cool
Another TH-cam channel that might help you is hyperspace pirate
Did you notice the caps glowing at 3:35?
Yes. I first saw it a few months back and had to make sure it wasn’t just something with the camera.
The opening shot is actually one of the plastic casings of the same capacitors unrolled flat to take advantage of this unexpected phosphorescence.
@@DBXLabs I sent this video to Ben (Applied Science). I'm curious to see if he has information.
the plastic parts on my crimp terminals also did this
Cool
