High voltage gen. I’m trying to learn the high voltage/high freq. side of hobby electronics.?
I just started tinkering again and currently would like to build a high voltage “plasma speaker”. I’ve seen videos everywhere but not the theory or schematics. Please bare with this- I have two ignition coils and two flybacks, plenty of power supplies and the little components everyone has stored up. I need some direction, somewhere to start. p.s. the guy in me wants huge arcs to impress the wife so I’ve been thinking of a dual ignition coil Jacobs ladder but I believe she would let me off the hook for the price tag on a “speaker” with a 3-4 inch gap. Thanks for your time!!!
I read something way back about using a transformer from a neon sign for a Jacobs ladder. They are pretty common as bar signs, maybe you can call a local beer distributor and find one were the sign is broken but the transformer is good .
( I would rather bare with your wife , I don’t mind bearing with you , lol )

When it comes to looking for a present for your boyfriend’s birthday, we are spoilt for choice. There are literally thousands of products to choose from, and choice comes hand in hand with difficulty in finding and deciding what to buy. From my own personal experience, I always try and narrow down my search by looking for interesting gifts which matches his interests, his hobbies and the occasion. For example, my boyfriend is a bit of a gadget and music lover- many of my gifts to him have been based around this theme. Although he loves to dress well and is quite particular in what he wears, very rarely do I buy him clothes, as 9 times out of 10 I know I will chose the wrong thing.
In this article, I will be recommending some of my top gadgets for boyfriends, based on interests and personality.
Stylish Gadget Lover
LED Mirror with Scrolling Message Board- this is a contemporary and stylish mirror with and LED message function, which can display the time and with the ability to program up to 99 messages. A perfect combination of style and hi-tech gadgetry.
Oregon DP100 Projection Radio Alarm Clock- With its modern design and innovative features, the DP100 alarm clock from Oregon makes a great gift for your style conscious gadget lover boyfriend! It includes, in addition to its vertical LCD display, a bright projection system that displays the exact time and temperature on the wall, even during the day.
Music Gadget Lover
Finger Drums- This miniature but genuinely life-like finger-sized drum kit lets him express his uncontainable musical energy in a way that will either get people to join in or to ask him to leave the room! The super finger-sensitive tiny drums include large and small tom-tom, bass drum with miniature foot pedal, snare and cymbal, so there is nothing missing. And even better, he can record what he has created.
APPLE Ipod Touch- The iPod touch is a revolutionary new iPod – and quite possibly the best ever created! It has a touch interface and the same panoramic screen seen on the iPhone, not to mention a WiFi Internet connection. In effect, the iPod touch is equipped with a revolutionary “multi-touch” interface that can put all his music and video files right at his fingertips.
’Likes to have a joke’ Gadget Lover
USB Missile Launcher- This is one of the best weaponry gadgets to have been invented, to give him the upper hand in office warfare. He can now spend hours of ‘work time’ mastering plans of mass annoyance on colleagues who deserve to be annoyed with a foam missile. USB controlled Missile Launcher with sound effects is controlled by a PC and fires foam darts!
Remote Controlled Fart Machine- We all remember the good old fashioned Whoopee Cushion do we not? Now he can take this hilarious farting gag to a whole new level with this remote controlled fart machine. The remote works at impressive distances and the machine produces a variety of realistic sounds, from polite little “boom-sa-lars” to a “morning after baked beans” trumpet. Very hilarious!
Fitness Freak Gadget Lover
The Powerball Techno- The Powerball, with in-built speedometer has not got anything to do with pumping dance music, but is the latest addition to the Powerball family. The primary use for the Powerball is to build strength, fitness and power with simple wrist exercises. When you set it in motion, the Techno Powerball slowly comes alive with gyroscopic force. This innovative gyroscope magically scrolls your score across the surface of the rotor. The rotor also displays an entrancing collection of ‘fire-lines’ as it spins, ranging from red to blue in colour, creating a truly mesmerizing Powerball effect as it gathers speed. Set the Powerball Techno in motion, build up speed and watch as your speed magically scrolls across the surface of the rotor. How fast can he go? It has been said that the Powerball is incredibly addictive.
Viatek Mobile Massage System- This mobile massage vest is an easy portable way to relieve stress due to daily pressures. The Massage Vest has four powerful motors that provide soothing relief to your shoulders and back. It can be set on individual massage modes or it can be set to alternate between the three massage modes simultaneously. For additional relaxation the heat function can be used with any massage mode. Being portable and with detachable straps, this must have massager can be strapped around the car and office seat.
The Eco-Conscious Gadget Lover
Solar Phone Charger- Pretty well self-explanatory, a solar phone charger is the must have item for a boyfriend who worries about the environment. It does not require any batteries as it is powered by the sun. Most solar phone chargers will come with adapters for use with most mobile phones.
Solar Torch- Powered solely by the sun during the day, it can be used night.
I have merely touched upon some great gadget gifts for boyfriends. There is of course a vast array of products on the marketplace. However I hope that I have helped you narrow the choice by thinking outside the box.

JMU’s Mine Action Information Center Releases New Tool for Landmine Suvivors
Adaptive Technology Catalog: Tools for Survivors of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of War Available
Publication is Practical Resource for Disabled
(Harrisonburg, VA—October 27, 2008) Available now, the Adaptive Technology Catalog: Tools for Survivors of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of War provides information on a variety of low-cost, low-technology products that government, survivor assistance and other agencies can purchase to help the victims of landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW) get back to self-sufficient work. Focused primarily on serving people who have lost one or both arms, one or both legs, or have eyesight or hearing deficiencies as a result of injuries sustained in explosions or accidents, the Adaptive Technology Catalog is comprised of products that are generally priced under US$500. Low-technology requirements of the more than 300 products included allows for easy repair and replacement using locally available services and supplies.
The Adaptive Technology Catalog includes information on a range of practical tools for automotive repair; communication, computer and office work; mechanical tasks and construction; crafts, hobbies and recreation; farming and agriculture; and culinary applications. These products are designed to assist those victims who have been disabled and want to return to work, in addition to those individuals who desire to be trained in a new occupation. Included in the Catalog is an additional reference section with a number of useful books for organizations working directly with survivors.
Purchases in the U.S. can be made directly from the Catalog sources. As a matter of cost effectiveness, however, product purchases outside the U.S. must be made by organizations that provide assistance to the disabled population, not the individual in need of the tool. Most manufacturers and distributors require a minimum purchase due to international shipping costs and regulations.
A PDF copy of the Adaptive Technology Catalog can be downloaded now or ordered on CD from JMU’s Mine Action Information Center’s Web site: http://www.maic.jmu.edu.
This project was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA). For more information about WRA, visit: http://www.state.gov/t/pm/wra/.
Located at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, U.S.A, the Mine Action Information Center, is a public-policy center that manages/publishes information and conducts training relevant to humanitarian mine clearance, victim assistance, mine-risk education and other landmine-related issues. The organization also produces the Journal of ERW and Mine Action, a field-written, print and electronic magazine dedicated to landmine- and ERW-related topics.

hobby engineering supplies
Many of us have a lot more time on their hands these days. Those that still have their roles are likely to experience enough stress on a common-or-garden basis that some after-hour diversion is necessary.
Basically, hobbies are activities we try in our free time for our own pleasure. Whether we pursue them alone or in groups, hobbies are sometimes the parts of our lives we find the most mesmerizing and for which we’ve got the least time. Nevertheless, folks’s hobbies always tell you something about them.
One such past-time is making and flying model planes. Nitroplanes is a company which sells model planes to flying backers out there. Nitroplanes Hobby and their site is a retail and mail order supplier of radio controlled aircrafts, serving model fans since 1999. They supply tiny models of their real life equivalent so that kids and big children can experience the joys of playing and piloting model air-craft.
Featured on the firm’s site are life-like miniatures of their giant opposite numbers with design to the last detail. Aside from aircrafts they also just about each sort of model including Control Line, Rubber Powered Free Flight, Plastic Models, Model Rocketry, and Wooden Ship Models. They have expertise in Radio Control, and in particular R/C model aircraft and helicopters.
As a dedication to consumer service, the Firm has a life time warranty with an online shopping center for their client’s entire radio controlled airplane and RC helicopter desires. Not only do they offer the most competitive pricing on the web, they also offer free lifetime online support thru dialogue boards over the internet.

Nitroplanes truly is a place for aeroplane fans. Their internet site is devoted to the love of the craft and for the propagation of the hobby. Hobbies such as this are very good stress relievers and will help you keep occupied and at the same time give you a feeling of achievement straight after you assemble and fly your own model plane. Building models is also a good way of improving dexterity and troubleshooting skills since the models have engines and will need maintenance.
Flying model planes is also one of the most well liked hobbies in the US. There are a lot of sites devoted to flying and creating model planes. Hobbies are also a very good way of complimenting a job. Although not all model airplane fans are professional or beginner pilots, the talent needed for such a hobby usually compliments those with engineering or technical jobs, which in turn may also be developed by getting into the model airplane flying hobby. Amateur and professional fliers are welcome at Nitroplanes! Visit our site and get flying!
