Re: Is Nuts and Volts dead ?
Well I just got a new issue a few days ago. Was it very late...or very early? As an observation, are the N&V magazine issues to blame for the poor response of members on the forum? Is it a too-busy, other direction, apathetic mindset? Many other forums seem to be more active and they do not have...

Yes it is a Tesla or HF generator by the look of the parts. As soon as I get the 'stuff' I'll update the post.

Re: WAT IZZ IT?
Well as soon as the person determines if he will get a refund, he will make a decision.
Maybe I can get him to take some pictures before the decision is made. In all probability It will be landing on my bench soon.
Thanks for the input!

Re: WAT IZZ IT?
Yes, that's like the cheap FO light that was included with the mysterious other stuff which was the focus of the post.
Maybe it was a scam, but the package did contain real stuff. The mystery is, what it is.

Re: WAT IZZ IT?
Hi CeaSaR Yes, it needs an enclosure but since it all looks like floor sweepings, there was none. I think you are in the ball park about the magnetic field, but because the globe has that single metal contact on the bottom, there are small value caps, and that 4" long wire tail from the coil en...

Re: WAT IZZ IT?
Good try J.T., but no cigar!
I am very familiar with plasma globes, and this is NOT a plasma globe.
As I mentioned in the post, the glass globe is solid, with the little flakes in the glass.
There is no 'inside' since it is all solid glass.

WAT IZZ IT?
Being in electronics since day 3, we get dumped on for all sorts of odd problems. Recently, a friend dropped off a rather interesting 'gizmo' and a story to go with it. He ordered a 'fiber optic light kit' quite some time ago and just got around to getting into it. What he found in the box is a bit ...

Re: Not-A-Fuse fuse?
A PTC Resettable Fuse will reset once the current is reduced. User intervention, like turning something off may be needed to stop the current, but the device itself does not need replacement or resetting. If the fault current burns the short clear, then it will reset, but by then, there may be no cu...

Re: Power Supply for mains circuit _linear or switch mode
Regarding a transformer Unless a transformer is needed for power line isolation, don't use one. It would be a big bulky bugger to find in a rea$onable price range. Millions of radio's were built and were direct line powered, If proper safety is employed, there is no hazard. Most switch mode power su...

Re: Ghosts
Sounds like a case of Visio-itis! (See my Viso related posts!) I have a 'smart-set' that turns itself on, selects a channel then you loose all remote control. Only un-pluggung restes it and shows it who'se the boss. Visio swapped all boards under warrenty. It turned itself on that night! They say 'M...

Re: My Toshiba is dying help...
Pop the drive out and hook it to another system with a drive adapter. The software application, or system, may be protected but the data files may be accessible.
It's a do no harm attempt!
