Plasma Speakers, Coin Flippers, and Other Experiments in High Voltage
Maker Faire Bay Area 2015
May 15th-17th
Using a flyback transformer from an old television and some handmade circuitry, we have built a variety of high voltage projects. Some of the ones we'll show are a machine that flips a coin via eddy currents, and audio generated over a modulated high voltage arc.
