Got an email back from him, said he has started the production run and is just waiting on the PCBs. I've requested if he has specs/pics he could send. I'll post back.

Crap, my wish list keeps getting longer. Strangely enough it's starting to get more non laser stuff on it, then lasers. :)

1) WFTM
2) DIY Xray
3) Fire Piston
4) Plasma Speaker

@Le Quack: How does the build cost on yours compare to the Tesla Coil ones that are on E-Bay?

I know what you mean. While putting money away for the WFTM and one of these plasma speakers, my builds are suffering. I have many hosts now and no diodes left at all :(

Love the look of yours Fiddy, I only wish I live a little closer and could see it in person.

Certainly less :p

But I've currently got 1 other order, and one more potential order... And I'm going to be a bit busy over the next few days.

Price quote? Like $40 for the whole speaker. I can't provide power supplies though. 18650 batteries (4 in series) work nicely for powering it, as it draws a max of 2-3 amps, depending on a few factors. ;)

I'm just a hobbyist, so finding flyback transformers can be somewhat tough, especially the smaller ones needed for plasma speakers.

Also, I apologize for the threadjack.... :angel:

Yeah :( ive had a few friends over who just cant be told that the corona it gives off is producing the sound, one has to see it to believe it :D

I bought a 150W laptop charger to run it but, it wont work atm, i think the charger is to smart and doesn't see it as a load.

Might have to build one, atm im using my Lab PSU.

W a n t t o b u i l d !

I love this kind of stuff. Nice job, man.

:D

At $40 Quack, I'm going to have to pick one of those up from you. We have other matters on the table though so no rush, just keep it in mind =).

LOL, okay. xD

I'm busy looking for parts for all of these things... So it may take me a bit to find them. Small flyback transformers are kind of hard to source. :p

As of right now, my list of projects is

1. Sigurthr - 30 kV HVDC power Supply

2. ARGlaser *MAYBE!* Plasma speaker

3. Sigurthr - Plasma Speaker

Unfortunately I'm going to have to put a hold on any other orders. I can't keep making these, because I need to source parts (i was using my stores for almost all of them, and they're running low in heatsinks, and flybacks)

I'll wait until I get more parts before I accept more stuff again. :p
