New project PCBs

This looks fantastic! Must build for one for myself for my shop!

What is a good set of search terms to use on Aliexpress to find the 12v high voltage modules? I tried several with no results. It may be that their search is broken as I've never received such consistent zero hits on any Aliexpress search...

Benjamin Hall

The sparking is caused by the ionisation of the air with respect to ground causing a high potential difference between the primary and secondary of the power supply. With this arrangement there is an ionic short circuit between the needles and the front plate, but there is still the possibility of a slight voltage differential. With the recent 12V module that uses green and white output wires the secondary side is isolated from the 12V supply, so theoretically there should be very low coupling to ground.

Clive 12v Single wire high voltage unit there is a danger of using them with rechargeable batteries sparking inside the battery. Might be an interesting dangerous experiment 5v powerbank and a booster to 12v and see what gets killed first. I tried running one 12v ioniser unit on my bench top supply and I could hear spark discharge inside the PSU, this occurred after quite a few second of being connected. Normally I use a 12v lead acid battery when playing we these ionisers.

It rocks....specially the pins setup

They can be fussy about multiple PCBs being on the same panel with their usual offer. It doesn't add much to make it as two PCBs, and the edges come already smooth and rounded. The V-groove rules out rounded corners and different sized PCBs.

Big Clive

The oxidising effect of plasma/ozone in the vicinity of the emitters can be high. I may experiment with plain and solder reinforced.

Big Clive

When I put it up it will be free. You guys provide more than enough to keep the channel going.

Big Clive

They're just going to have to fight me for it....

Big Clive

It would look good, but I'm not sure the PCB software has that option. I could maybe make them out of tracks.

Big Clive

You should have mixed some Cyrillic characters in the printed text. You know for “authenticity“… 😄

Lostngone

Er.. Clive.. I think the Romulan empire still have an active patent on particle disrupter technology...

Gordo

Needs some Cyrillic!

Jefferson Ogata

I would certainly like to see the file released,tho I have no problem with it released for a small nominal fee. Perhaps the gerber file could be sent via email. You have been most generous in the past, and I'm sure no one would grudge the price of a coffee, especially with no Edinburgh shenanigans happening and having you all to ourselves.

Where are the obligatory instant death warnings? seems kinda tame at the moment.

Peter Stevens

Plasma cannon! ;p

Jeremy

With some o' them backwards capital Rs ... nothing says "Russian" like a backwards R ... :-)

Peter Laws

Needs more nonsense Russian writing.

Paul Malloy

Would the ENIG for the pads worth doing to prevent corrosion without the extra solder?

James

I would order these, but keep the shpelling mishtake for patreons, and then correct it at a later date.

Mike Hughes

I would buy the US version if it's typo said (Ionic Proximity Vote Multiplier) oops, volt

Jim

This needs a big red button or two lock switches. ☢

Peter Luijer

😮 I waunt thayt.

David K

Needs an almost radiation symbol and please keep the misshpelling.

Tokkan FX

Radiation Logo on it maybe?

Mr B Shepherd

Quite a few grades of stainless are magnetic, the common sorts aren't though.

Mark Chapman

Keep to purchase the PCB for the Department of Viliany controller or the files

Always wondered, why don't they use a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER (electroboom voice) on the secondary side??

Simon Howroyd

I also think this is a winner.

Looks cool!! I think you should leave the typo- it gives it charachter. It'll be cool to see what name would spike more interest in it- like a "posh" scientific name or a pesudo-scientific name.

That’s amazing I was looking at buying one after the countless ozone videos 😜😜 but if I can make one that’s even better, I think Paul Kemps idea is fantastic fitting the two boards onto one and cutting them down, and leave the spelling mistakes, so the Patreons have a one off board !!

Awesome mate, pretty sure most of us would love to be able to build one. But leave the spelling mistakes until it goes public, I would prefer the mistakes

Mike Wynne

How about submitting them as one PCB but with strategically placed slots/V grooves/mouse bites etc? You then get one board which you could snap into the individual boards - maybe even cram in two sets into a 100X100 £2 JLC PCB board.

Paul Kemp

You need a friendly Russian speaker to do the first one in Russian for you.

Chris Crowther

That is fun. Thanks Big Clive.

Dave Frederick

"Ion thruster technology"😆😆 I would totally build this kit
