I think this might be the first live build I've done from the bench.
It's a high voltage step up circuit designed to create a high positive voltage on a panel to try and encourage dust charged by a negative ion generator to settle out on the panel instead of on walls and furnishings.
If you like the live videos there's a dedicated channel for live streams called BigCliveLive:-

The components used were 10 100nF X2 suppression capacitors, 10 1N4007 1A 1kV diodes and two 1 Megohm half watt resistors.
The diodes and capacitors are used to make a simple Cockroft Walton voltage multiplier that steps the voltage up to about 3kV, and the two resistors chosen partly for their resistance and partly for their higher voltage rating provide safety current limiting and separation from the mains supply. The resistor voltage doesn't have to be 3kV as that voltage will not normally be seen across them.
The case is a bit of 1.5" (37mm) plastic drain pipe with either drainage end caps or 3D printed caps with holes for the cable gland and output banana socket.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Dear Clive, Sorry I meant George Georgeโs Still ok to go To Big Cliveโs Live Stream at 9.00pm Tonight. Today 4th November 2023 G M T Time?
I faintly remember a very old, but still quite futuristic idea of placing giant structures strategically around dense city centres. They would use electrostatics to collect pollutants in the air. The coolest thing is that you could design these as art installations – substance without sacrificing style. Wonder what happened? Guess the real-world numbers didn't add up?
About the vape test – try to avoid inhaling it into lungs – just hold it in your mouth, then you can let it spill out (almost like a liquid) into a container or directly onto a surface.
Clive, when I am playing with my flyback transformer, when it arcs, my RGB keyboard flashes on and off. It screws with it. Itโs just Radio interference from the arc
Stoned ?
Funny the high voltage affect the screen I was using one of them spark generator modules and my multi meter turned on ๐๐๐
OK then tell me why America is the only one to have two different 5G platforms there are two different patents the military holds one and then the cellular networks hold them on why is there a weapon that the military is created in 5G if it's not harmful?
3yrs later, I'm wondering if you could take a thin plastic bag like our Walmart bags and shred an edge into some long thin strips then fasten some to the positive pole and then bring the strips close to the other pole. And look for attraction.
Iโm going Drain Addictt Live Next Clive
Yes, CliFE, โ And If I Cannot Do it myself : โ Teach Stephen!โ
Be Fearless, Like Louise Borgioux , CliFE.
Charging yourself up to high voltage to test vape? – PRICELESS! (He knows what he's doing kids. DON'T try things like this unless you have YEARS of experience and know EXACTLY what you're doing. MASSIVE amounts of PAIN or DEATH may ensue). Big Clive does it so you don't have to. Please don't piss about with these things. Esp when connected to mains. The more you know, the bigger the confidence/gamble/power, and the more can that go wrong so easily. Take care please science lovers. โค
