3.0 out of 5 stars Cool but lacks power, July 16, 2011

This review is from: High Voltage Plasma Generator Kit (Toy)

This was pretty easy to assemble and the instructions are great. I wish most kits had instructions like the one that came with this kit.

I gave this product 3 stars because I was not able to create the Jacob's letter experiment. I used a 12.8 volt, 3 amp transformer that I got from Radio Shack in my construction. With this transformer, I wasn't impressed with the arc length. I was getting max 1 to 1.5 cm arcs. I doubt you could get 1 inch arcs with the 14 volt, 3 amp transformer that the instructions recommend but I didn't try it.

You need about 30 kV for every inch and I don't think this kit can deliver.

All in all, this kit is cool and well designed. It only lacks the power that I was expecting so I only give it 3 stars. I would have given it 4 stars if I didn't get bored of it after an hour playing with it.

I have posted a video on YouTube for reference. [...]
