I have been given a 6.8kV 0.6ma DC power pack from an old photo copier. Can this be used to make CS? If so, what should I do & what shouldn't I do. James Houston-McMillan Durban, South Africa. >>
James: The first thing you should do is throw out all your assumptions about insulating properties of common items that you think WILL NOT conduct electricity because, under the right conditions, they will. NEVER, NEVER fiddle with the circuit just because you switched it off; UNPLUG IT FIRST! And even then you could still get zapped if there is any remaining stored energy in the power supply capacitors. So wait a few seconds. Also the electrodes get plenty hot. Next make sure there are no wet or damp spots on the table where your HVAC CS equipment is located. Dry thoroughly. Having said all that, welcome to the club. I find it quite fascinating. Try producing CS with as simple a setup as possible. Use 99.9% silver wire. I like to use #22. Remember, because of the power supply's different operating frequency, a multimeter readout will be inaccurate. BTW, the current rating of your power supply seems a little low for good HVAC CS production (mine has 30 ma.), but give it a try and tell us what happened.
