I wish I could read that . . . What is the guy trying to do there, Death Ray or something ? W o o f -={( [ Parent ]

He's not clear about the purpose. There's only one line saying 'it can be used to destroy electronics from nearby'. I think it's just a for-fun project. Judging by his other projects (jet powered bikes, for example) he's a creative person with a large stash of high-tech junk and a rich imagination :) Maybe he's trying to contact ET ? Peter.

Woofer, He is simply using it to heat an object placed in front of it. You can slip in the tub and be gone also. Joseph [ Parent ]

Didn't one of the Dans used to host a Mad Scientist website where one of the projects was a plasma generator built from an old microwave?  I wish I could find the link... _____________________________ Alan Sheets [ Parent ]

It looks like he's building a small HERF, High Energy Radio Frequency generator with a directional antenna.  Probably illegal to operate in most countries.  Rich 'A Joule saved is a Joule made' [ Parent ]

Oh, the fellow is not completely insane, he does have his safety warning at the bottom (of course). And there are two versions of it too. But he is not in the same league as "Arc Starter" was. Yes, safe bet illegal in most countries. 30 KiloWatt Brats anyone? [ Parent ]
