YEAH, let me grab my spare fuckin tesla coil, I know I have a few extra....

Squeeky · 2003-01-10, 05:06 PM

Err you dont need a tesla coil. Or whatever the fuck it is, Just take a paper cup fromt he bathroom. Put the cd on top of it, microwave 5-7 seconds, watch the show. Didnt you read the article?

Navaron · 2003-01-10, 05:12 PM

Yeah I did, 90% of it was showing those kickass lightning things. Cool idea though. I'm not about to try it, but cool Idea.

Wouldn't the "electrical storms" damage your microwave?

Sandtaco · 2003-01-10, 05:17 PM

Does it harm the microwave?...

NARF · 2003-01-10, 05:33 PM

yes, but that doesnt really matter.

BLuE_ZeRO · 2003-01-10, 05:36 PM

Yeah who needs a microwave anyways when you get a pretty light show

Quote from article:

Caution! be ready to stop the oven when the CD-ROM starts to smoke. The smoke smells bad, and is probably bad for you.

... well, no shit.

It cant break the microwave. The surface of the CD only reflects and makes the waves visible to the naked eye. how can microwave waves hurt a microwave?

BLuE_ZeRO · 2003-01-10, 06:16 PM

Ahh I thought it was like putting a fork in the microwave.

I consider my microwave poisoning my food hurting my microwave. Try taking some chemistry and physics when you get into high school.

Tesla Coil

The setup consists of a high voltage AC source, Tr1, which is typically a neon sign transformer powered from a domestic mains supply. This gives a typical output at the secondary of 6 to 15kV, at a few tens of mA and 50 or 60Hz frequency.

So, I can have this in my living room?
