High Voltage Power Supply Kit
Universal high voltage power supply kit. This HV power source may be used in a variety of different high voltage applications, like:

kirlian photography

HeNe Laser tube power supply

x-ray tubes

plasma tubes

negative ion generators, etc.

Features variable frequency using a potentiometer. Also has a High-Low frequency range switch.

In addition this circuit to be either battery powered 12 VDC, or powered from a wall transformer also 12V with either an AC or DC output.

When powered from batteries provides the advantage of portability for fieldwork.

Wimshurst Machine
This machine produces large static electric sparks for a terrific classroom demonstration. No assembly required, simply attach the hand crank, begin cranking, and watch in wonder as the sparks fly. Instruction guide and helpful hints are included with each unit.

Unit consists of two high resistance 25cm plastic discs, with equally spaced metal sectors. The discs are supported in two rigid upright supports, rotating in opposite directions with a hand crank. Provided with a system of induced charge collecting brushes, adjustable ball-ended electrodes, and cylindrical Leyden jar capacitors for obtaining higher potentials. Produces substantial opposite charges, which are deposited in the capacitors and on the metal spheres. A rapid sequence of sparks can be generated by lowering the system capacitance (moving the metal spheres closer together).

Mounted on an insulated wooden base.

Ion Generator
Generates negative ions and blows air without any moving parts.

High voltage negative ion generator generates “ion wind” without a fan or moving parts. Wind is generated by force of ion repulsion. Similar in principle to the ion propulsion systems used by NASA in modern spacecraft. Generate negative ions for health and airborne pollution removal in small areas. Kit includes 7.5kV DC negative power supply at 400 uA, 7 ion wind tubes and mounting hardware for the ion wind generator.

High Voltage Plasma Generator
  • Generates 2” sparks to handheld screwdriver
  • Light fluorescent tubes without wires
  • Build your own Plasma Balls
  • Generates up to 25kV @ 20 KHz from solid state circuit

Solid state high voltage power supply is perfect for high voltage experiments, like Kirlian photography. The high voltage at the terminal won’t electrocute you, so its relatively safe, but it can burn you, so use caution. Can be run from 5-24 VDC so the output voltage can be directly adjustable.

Kirlian Photography Device
The Model 4 has all photography functions on the front panel.

(Custom Order 4-8 weeks delivery -- Disclaimer Required)

Kirlian Disclaimer Form -- Required for purchase of Kirlian photography device

These include the on/off power switch, discharge switch, Hi-Low frequency switch and variable frequency control. The discharge plate is located on the left hand side of the device.  The terms discharge plate and film plate mean one and the same.

The on/off switch provides main power to the circuit.  discharge switch is a momentary contact switch that applies the electrical power to the discharge plate.  The frequency control varies the frequency of the electrical power going to the discharge plate.

This device is designed to work with all 4" X 5" color, b/w 4" X 5" sheet film and paper.  as well as polaroid film.
