Hello! The other day in my chemistry class, my teacher was teaching us about the properties of electrons using the cathode ray demo. He had some vintage replica cathode ray tubes, which are worth almost $4K!
The cathode ray experiment uses high voltage DC to create a cathode ray from the cathode plate to the anode plate. He created a high voltage by using a hand held teslacoil, and holding it at one end, while moving a magnet along the sides to show how it attracts the charge. In doing so, he repeatedly shocked himself with the charged coil
. I know that a hv generator that utilizes a flyback generator could have a good effect, as the corona discharge is visible in air.(I have two from some old CRT tvs). How should I build one? I know that drivers are available on amazon, but I would like to build my own. Also- its there a better way of doing this? Thank You in advance.
