Using a microwave oven transformer and a 300 watt incandescent light bulb as a quick and dirty, massively inefficient, heat generating ballast, I created this 2500 volt rat trap.
There’s about 120ma on the high voltage side (if my math is right).
I enclosed the high voltage grid in a fireproof box made of cement fiber board.
This was completely done out of experimentation thanks to my microwave oven reaching the end of its life. I do not have any intent on keeping this in service. It is somewhat…. No let me correct this: it’s very dangerous.
