Welcome visitor!

You've reached Art 'n electrons, a website dedicated to my high voltage experiments, sculptures and furniture designs. Note that this site's main purpose is to show off my art projects/ high voltage toys and to act as an inspiration to other HV enthusiasts. It does not include high voltage basics, safety warnings or detailed building instructions. Use at your own risk.

HV Projects

Tesla Coils
2", 3" and 4" coil

Capacitor bank
700Ws electrolytic bank

4 MOT power supply
8kV for serious high power

Flyback power supply
standard circuit, suitable for many experiments

Cockroft Walton voltage multiplier
6 stage multiplier, produces about 75kV

Jacobs ladder
adjustable, triggered ladder suitable for different transformer powers and voltages down to 4kv (!)

Kirlian photography
photographs of leaves and various metal objects

Lichtenberg figures
similar to kirlian photographs but taken with pulsed DC and a needle electrode

Fulgurites @ home
my experiments on producing glass tubes "fulgurites" similar to those created when lightning strikes sandy ground

N2 TEA laser
simple laser using plain air as active medium

HV pulse generator
power supply for the N2 laser

Microwave oven modification
making a MO more suitable for plasma experiments

Plasma experiments
in special atmospheres (argon or low pressure air)

 

Scientific stuff that does not involve high voltage

Fun at 590nm
cool experiments with sodium light
