Dual Resonant MOTs Cooking a Hot Dog (Parallel)

ScottH, Mon Jan 16 2017, 02:36PM

I wired 2 large MOTs, unballasted, with the HV outputs in parallel. The amperage on the secondaries is between 2.5 to 3 amps (enough to pop a 2.5 amp fuse, but not a 3 amp).

After seeing numerous videos of 120 volts roasting a hot dog, I thought it would be fun to see what 2 large resonant MOTs can do.

Here are some nice brilliant arcs from the setup.

Ask my cats. It smelled to bad to eat, plus it was too hot.

Please tell me you are doing this under supervision, in case something goes wrong? Even seaoned TC enthusiasts ensure they have a "buddy" in case of accidents.
