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!

2025-03-15 19:11:25 +0000 UTCWhat 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 …

2025-03-15 11:54:06 +0000 UTCIf 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...
