New video!!! Patreon exclusive early viewing!!!
Added 2020-08-04 00:12:17 +0000 UTCThis is the next video in my Overclocked series! I start by unsuccessfully trying to upgrade my arc lighter, and I end up building a giant vacuum tube based RF plasma torch. This video is a good mashup of high voltage and chemistry.
The circuit I used is very interesting, but also extremely dangerous. Special thanks to the YouTubers Zilipoper and Teslista555 as their GU-5B plasma generator builds gave me critical info for my build. Also big thanks to YouTuber Vidduley for providing info on this mysterious schematic that has roots from nearly a century ago.
Oh yeah, I put all the names of my patrons (as of July 31 at least) at the end of the video!
I'm not sure when I'll make this video public, as I still need to make a thumbnail and such, so please don't share it yet :D

2020-08-04 14:00:17 +0000 UTCtungsten oxidizes fairly quickly in air, and the oxide melts at around 1400°C. The fact that you destroyed a tungsten electrode does not mean you reached its melting point, although you probably did. I once tried to build a oven using tungsten heating wire, and it destroyed itself in air almost instantly.

2020-08-04 10:49:50 +0000 UTCFascinating and entertaining as always! Small feedback to consider from a puny bronze supporter - on the clips where you're showing on screen, the lighting is quite harshly cold compared to the other parts of the video. Maybe just adjusting white balance to a slightly warmer tone could help without the need to invest in new lighting?
