    High voltage batteries, not 2V per cell

    Most batteries have a low voltage output like a lead acid +- 2.2V per cell And carbon + zinc have something like 1.5V and so it goes on. Can a battery have a high output voltage without putting it in series Example: I want a battery with 100V DC output per cell, does that exist or not...

    Fusion possible with high voltage on deuterium?

    You hear from me first. I claim, “We can apply very high voltage on deuterium to achieve fusion power generation.” Using a device like a van De Graaff or Tesla Coils machine, we can generate very high voltage with minimum power input on a deuterium gas mixture which surrounds a pullet. The...

    How can the Wimshurst machine generate a very HIGH voltage?

    It is so surprising that athe Wimshurst machine can generate up tp 1,000,000 voltage with the size of 50 cm! As I know, in order to generate such a high voltage on its 2 terminals, there must be a very large quantity of charges being "collected and stored" in the Leyden Jars. Am I right...

    What Caused the Buzzing Sensation Near the Power Line?

    : Let me explain what happened. There is a great scenic overlook on top of the Appalachian Trail near my house. The overlook is mainly there because a power line travels up the mountain, and that section of the hill is clear cut to keep the trees out of the lines. The view is...

    High Voltage and measurement instruments

    Hi all, Can anybody help me on HVs, high voltages up to 60Kv? Actually I've got this HV supply , then i came across with an old ammeter in my garage which i thought could help in showing me the exact voltage my supply is transferring but i have a poblem in matching the resistances. actually i...

    High Voltage and Ozone: Process Overview

    Hi Group, I'm interested in how and why ozone is produced by high voltage discharges. I was hoping that if I give my impression of how the process works, people could correct any mistakes I've made. Here's how I think the process works: 1) Let's pretend a large high voltage arc is...

    Why do we use a high voltage and not a high current?

    Why over long distance power transmissions do we use a high voltage and not a high current? I'm curious about this, I have a test tomorrow and totally forgot to ask the teacher for the answer and got a test tomorrow. :bugeye: I'd appreciate if someone could help me out here! Thanks.

    Electricity from high voltage lines

    I have recently read about people who have successfully taken electricity from high voltage lines and used it to power their homes. Is this possible? What voltage, current and power can you get from it? What extra equipment is needed to make this work successfully?

    Info needed on High Voltage Systems

    Hello, I am working on an investigation and was wondering if you could help me with some information. There was an occurrence on a ship involving high voltage and am looking at the necessity of recommending training for the crew members. The crew was trained in 440V systems, but they were...
