Measuring SUPER HIGH VOLTAGE
🕑 Added 2025-03-15 05:07:44 +0000 UTCHigh voltage is a pretty tricky beast to measure! But one must not feel defeated after trying, maybe dead, but not defeated! Well maybe defeated if dead... ANYWAY, Enjoy the video.

You totally reminded me of a project me and a buddy did in middle school! Ionic lifters! Made from an old high voltage supply from a CRT!

What if you add capacitance to the van der graf? and you could use the internal resistor of the dmm in the voltage divider even low value resistance in current measurement …

If you are looking for a follow up to this video, another method for reading higher voltages without risking delicate sensing circuits is through the use of opto-isolators. We use those quite regularly where I work. Not sure how that works on Van de Graf generators that discharge in micro amps though...

I loved the aluminum rabbit he made :-)

Mehdi can you make more electro boom 101 episodes . I like to learn electronics but I don't have anywhere to learn as well as you teaching.

Oh yay, the return of that neat voltmeter design! Now if only you could make it smoother so that you could accurately tell the voltage just from its height...
