I was messing with this mini motorcycle thing today (some of the guys on the irc have heard about it :P) and the cap+start cord that was on it fell off. I guess either vibrations or the action of pull starting loosened it, uncovering this: Link2 Hehe, that is connected straight to the engine, and guess what sits right there? My leg :).

Link2 (if you dont like blood, well you get the picture)

Link2 And a redneck bandage for the moment :P. Just to keep blood on the floor to a minimum.

Doesn't hurt/didn't hurt, and i can walk just fine :P. Me thinks the 10 or so cuts need stitches though. Thats gonna cost :/

@ Arcstarter: ouch

So yesterday I went to Hamex 2009, took some random photos and got some random loot:


IMG 2543
An oldschool HP DSO/signal analyzer with a CRT touch screen.... wish I had the cash for that. And yes, that is a floppy drive slot on the right hand side.

IMG 2545
Catch of the day: a 572B for $5, filament tested good, no shorts

IMG 2551
Also picked up a $2 trashed traffic camera board (flash tube and caps still good), and 2x 35V 21500uF, 1x 65V 25000uF capacitors for $10. Also a 10A EMI filter for $1.

Parents also randomly gave me a radio scanner, and a cordless drill (dead battery, motor still good and salvagable).

Top: my scanner
Bottom: parents scanner

I've managed to pick up some 2m and 70cm ham on it along with various commercial traffic, fun stuff

Here's a 4HV first, the beginning of an arc at the bottom of a jacobs ladder taken at 1200fps. You can see the arc starts by jumping from the 10 megohm center wire to the 2 main rails of the ladder.

what did you take that with? I have tried to use the 100FPS mode on my Casio EX-FH20, but the resolution is pretty low, lower than that of yours, so it was not a very good image - I plan to retry at some point though, know that I have more experience with the camera (and since I have access to the school power supplies, which are more consistent to use)....

I used the casio EX-F1 which will take 1200fps but only at ~300x90 pixels.

Here are a few spy shots of two upcoming high voltage projects with a common thematic design element. All will be revealed in good time.
