2 Extreme Jobs - High Voltage Power Line Inspection
Shows a lineman boarding a live high-voltage line from a helicopter, often cited to illustrate capacitive coupling and why current needs a complete path.
3 Just Try and Make Your Own Coil-Gun (Accelerator)
Mehdi Sadaghdar builds a coilgun with his usual deliberate mishaps; cited on electromagnet design, with a warning that the circuit is not one to copy.
4 Fun with a few 9V batteries. (244 of them)
Cited in threads on series battery stacks as an example of a 244-cell 9 V stunt, which answerers describe as reckless rather than instructive.
5 Slayer Exciter Circuit, Using a Tesla Coil
An entertaining demonstration of a simple Tesla coil driver, linked to show wireless power transfer and its limits whenever the slayer exciter circuit comes up.
6 EEVblog #469 - Cockcroft-Walton Multiplier
Dave Jones explains how a Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier works stage by stage; answerers link it instead of writing the explanation out again.
7 Jacob's Ladder: 500kV Switch Opening
Footage of a 500kV disconnect switch drawing a long arc as it opens, linked to show how far high-voltage arcs can travel.
8 The most deadly project on the Internet
Big Clive's warning about microwave oven transformers, shared to make clear how easily these projects injure or kill.
9 High Voltage Cable Inspection
Shows a lineman working on a live high-voltage cable, cited to explain why high voltage alone does not injure and why current flow is what matters.
10 Helicopter Maintenance on energized 765,000 Volt Line
Footage of helicopter crews working on a live 765kV transmission line, cited to illustrate potential equalisation and why isolation from ground keeps workers safe.
11 Making 500,000 VOLT ARC with Marx Generator
ElectroBOOM builds a Marx generator for big arcs; shared for the basic idea rather than exact instructions, sometimes with a safety warning.
12 Handheld TESLA COIL GUN at 28,000fps - Smarter Every Day 162
Linked as the source of a circulating gif of a high voltage arc gun, shared for curiosity rather than instruction.
13 Spacer Installation on 765,000 volt line
Footage of linemen working on energised high voltage lines from a helicopter, linked to illustrate potential equalisation and conductive protective suits.
14 Disassembly and schematic of an arc lighter.
Big Clive takes apart an arc lighter and draws out its circuit, cited for the schematic and estimated electrode voltage.
15 SLAYER EXCITER - Tutorial, Explanation, and More
A slayer exciter Tesla coil build guide that two people found clear and usable, while one critic questions its fix of paralleling burnt transistors.
16 Is it the volts or amps that kill?
Appears to use a car battery demonstration to show how little current flows through a hand in parallel with a wire, linked in high voltage safety discussions.
17 Awesome Disconnector Switching with ❙ Electric Arc (ep-1)
Footage of arcs forming when high voltage switches open, used to illustrate how hard interrupting large currents is and why arc control matters.
