This video clip is mine:

It's from about 8 years ago - Not sure how it found it's way onto Youtube though.

For what it's worth it used low-side PWM of the gate-drive signals to modulate the RF power and the resonant frequency of the SSTC is around 350kHz.

Oh, and the tune is a remix of Rapture by Iio on Data Records, as that seems to be the most commonly asked question!

-Richie,

On another note: after having seen the level of professionalism at the Arizona group, it made me reflect on the level of LACK of professionalism on some simple arc-drawing a great many You-Tube flicks.

Some of the most dangerous "experiments" I have ever seen in my life have been posted on You-Tube. ARC DRAWING IS A LOT OF FUN CERTAINLY, BUT USING A MOT TO ACCOMPLISH THAT needs a basic safety level that appears missing in a great many flicks.
A quick search for a certain schematic with ballast showed a young man using short needle nose pliers to draw and arc, another clearly shows the string of wires so close to the exposed body of the participant that I was actually waiting for the the negligence to take it's toll, etc, etc

You-Tube attracts an enormous amount of interest to this hobby but the level of knowledge beyond what DOES draw an arc is often missing. If one were to view a series of videos with a horrendous lack of safety imbued in their execution, THAT number would be very sobering.

Other hobbies were pounded into obscurity due to accidents made public but with You-Tube it's a whole different ballgame. The viewer sees what interests him and believes that such a thing can be constituted with the same manner of casual usage seen in the 3 minute video. The number of MOT arc videos is very high. I have some real concern that will lead to MOTs being treated with a low level of care especially due to their simplicity, availability, low cost, and ease of use.

Is this just me or do others see some seriously sloppy usage of lethal level HV experiments?

Yes. Insanity of all kinds abounds on NoobTube.

I've often wondered whether we are being irresponsible when we promote playing with MOTs. Personally, I choose not to play with them, but when it comes to other people, they can do whatever they like. If you want to try and teach the whole of Youtube about electrical safety, you're welcome to try, but there are so many idiots out there that it's hardly worth the effort. I wouldn't try and stop them any more than I'd try to stop that guy jumping 3 flights of stairs on a bike.

Wow, that drop was HUGE! The highest height I have dropped with my BMX is something like 70 cm.

I have my own channel too:
