Using the One Terminal Capacitor ( that is the thing that is the sphere of a Flying Saucer), I got a lightning strike out of clear blue sky. It scared the daylights out of me and some rough looking farm dogs that had just arrived to give me the once -over
It set the tree under wich I was parked on fire .
The dogs were instantly changed into the fastest whippets on their way back to the farm, .
Look at> One Terminal Capacitor. Be extemely careful when experimenting. With my very first experiment I generated over one half million volts and almost broke my arm. Do no use more than one tube (UV Tube) , After firing it up do not charge the "capacitor" with more than 500 volts higher than the firing voltage.. Use a Faraday Cage ( your all-metal back-yard shed). remove your watch and cell-phone..
Anything transistorized can be zapped (TV, Radio,
Cell-phone, Computer)..
Nasa "experts", who were given the circuit to be used for propulsion of the Shuttles, went too high an caused the big black-out of 2003 in the USA and Canada.
