I just scored a microwave sitting out by the curb........ I'm planning on dissecting it in the next day or two. @barry richardson if you want it let me know and we can work something out. If Barry passes then its open to the rest of yall......
 
I just got my neon sign transformer: 8kv @ 30ma

I don't like the switch - it's a pull switch which makes perfect sense if you're using it how it's supposed to be used. Going to have to try some stuff out this weekend.

Hey thanks for the offer Jamie, but after viewing quite a few you tube videos, I think I'm going with the neon transformer, less wiring I have to figure out how to rig, among other supposed benefits. Im sure someone will put it to good use.

Do you have a link to how the neon transformer ones are made?

Josh, here is a link to a video that got me thinking I want a neon transformer, It appears they are pretty much "plug and play" of course I'm just going by what they guy says...

Quite a few of you started or planned to start making one of these, has anyone done it? Freddy says he can offer some help if anyone needs it. I guess he's bored.
 
It's not good timing for me. I know I bought a neon transformer but couldn't get it to do anything. No sparks at all.

Of course it's all packed in a box somewhere either in storage or on a trailer and I don't have a shop to work in right now - but I'll sure follow along if anyone else is getting helped out.

Ken if you send it to me I'll build it for you - if you sign a release.
 
I must admit, I was fired up to try it, but haven't backed up my talk yet, just too darned busy....
 
Can't believe I missed this thread. Glad I found it, very interesting!
 
I've wanted to build one of these but have been to chicken to do so. I might have to enlist my dad to help if he has time before he heads South again otherwise I'm out. I wish the ones @DKMD has were a little cheaper cause in would buy one for sure.
 
I'm fighting a hot wire cutter for foam at the moment. But then I also just got the Ni-chrome wire to finish it. Thinking that's why the transformer wasn't doing anything... there wasn't a complete circuit.

Here's my second piece. This BLM quilted thin was very cupped before I started - it didn't sand very well and messed up the pattern by taking a lot of the smaller branches off. There's more to this than just hooking up the leads and flipping the switch.
