In this experiment I generate electric ARC with a voltage of over 200v DC. The DC current is rectified directly from the 230v AC voltage taken from the domestic electrical system, thanks to a KBPC5010 rectifier bridge (the one on the bottom left connected to a heatsink).
In parallel to the circuit there are connected a large electrolytic capacitor (1500 MFD 400v DC)
As load I use a 2000 watt resistor. The Warning light indicates that the capacitor is charged and once the power is removed from the circuit this red light, with a 25W incandescent bulb inside, completely discharges the electrolytic capacitor. The 12 volt fan is used to cool the load resistor and is powered by a power supply outside the video frame.
WARNING: This video is only for demonstration. I don't take any responsibility.
