Amber House

Our Jacob's Ladder is complete with its Sci-Fi artistic production. The device exhibits the buoyancy of plasma using a V-electrode and a 30kV generator. All circuitry is safely tucked inside the sphere, while the lower transformer model is purely for dramatic effect.

Following on our coil driver circuit, we've built a spherical compartment to house the electronics. It's larger than the circuit actually requires, but it's more designed for artistic effect than volumetric economy.

The sphere is made of fiberglass and was split in half during its making before being reunited with itself. There are two circular trapdoors on opposite sides to enable access to the sphere's entrails.

Back to an exhibit that has been on hold for a while. Part of the device's operation requires generating small cute voltages of around 20kVolts. The circuit makes use of flyback transformers to achieve this. This is a nice photo we took while testing circuit functionality. The sharp threaded nature of the electrode enables multiple arcs to coexist simultaneously. We'll be posting more on this exhibit as it develops in the coming days. Have a nice weekend!
