Power Supply for Jacobs Ladder

[Boncuk]

Not very useful for a Jacobs ladder.

What do you expect from the arc of a Jakobs ladder?

You can experience St. Elmos's fire flying in a thunderstorm beating Jacob's ladder by the factor of 10,000!

Next thing to do something similar on earth is using a real Tesla coil!

Don't get burned!

I Agree there are Idiots out there. And if a Person doesn't have the Skills to make it SAFE, They shouldn't make it!

But there are Many Direct line Projects and Commerical Products on the market. And if you don't take proper care, they can also be dangerous. (Like using a Hair Dryer while in the Bath Tub.)

Even using Current Limiting and an Isolation Transformer, as you suggested, Does Not solve anything, If the Idiot Doesn't know how to Properly Wire them up.

Hopefully Kanooks know how to do it!

And if the fuse trips there's still a finite amount of energy available during the moment of failure which may be catastrophically high (read as meaning fatal to nearby humans or equipment) You running a circuit regardless of how long without failure does not mean it's safe. The circuit takes care of all best case scenarios, not worse case, and being a public circuit on the Internet recommending that is probably NOT a good idea to thousands of idiots that will try to make it and hopefully do nothing more than trip a fuse.

There are no idiots in Canada!
