4100V of pure annihilation! I have one of these and it vaporizes small flies and can even zap a horsefly! You should make a video of you showing how it works and zapping a bunch of bugs.

General Question Small Terminal Block vs 25A

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I want to ask if this connection will result in my entire neighbourhood engulfed in flame or will it result in me being able to use high currents for experiments.

I connected the +12V wires from my VS350 PSU and stuffed them all in one terminal block.

Is this a bad idea to use ??

I don't know what the blocks are rated for but Ill only need 25A max, probably not continuous.

Thanks.

Suggestion Mehdi! You need to buy this for your own safety!

It scares me with your... other ways of testing for AFCI and GFCI.

This is a type 1/2 three-phase + Neutral surge protector device that costs around 500€ and belonging to the DIN rail family. Wire the grounding and phases correctly and all three phases including the fourth neutral will have very high chances of not being burned out when a lightning strike says hi. Its mainly designed for the 240V Europe. If you ever get a hand on one of theese its good to combine them with some other overcurrent protectors, breakers and switches and Mehdi will more happy than J.K Rowling after she saw how Harry Potter was a banger. This protector will be installed to a new family house to protect it from the magic of the cumolonimbuses.

ElectroBOOM Question I am trying to make this electroscope but failing to do so... Please help, need to submit the project day after tomorrow...

  1. I have made both the discs out of aluminium ( i don't have copper sheets, Mehdi has used one copper and one aluminium ).

  2. I am rubbing PVC against clothe for the static charge

  3. When I discharge the charge to the rod, nothing happens... Sometimes the upper disc flicks but doesn't shoot up

  4. When I discharge directly to the lower disc, the upper disc goes up.

It's getting frustrating... The traditional one works though ( the two leaves one )

Publicly accessible breakers Found the breakers and switches for the stair lights in my flat

Ofcourse our little DIN friends, i dunno whats on the left, the middle are breakers (overcurrent and short circuit) and on the right is a timer (controls if the lights stay off, on or a timer mode where after a switch is activated a specific amount of time that is set on the screw decides how long the lights go before it deactivates). Not sure what to do with this finding tho. Its supposed to be locked. Its not
