65000 Volt Electric Walnut Cracker

160

02:46:45

The article did not say if AC or DC was used. Just 65, 000 volts.  Walnut falls down on the two electrodes and gets split in half.

If someone can check this out and let me know if it works.

Let us have some walnuts, then we try it out for you.

CAUTION! Walnuts may be harmed in this experiment... LOL

That's the idea!

Suppose a walnut is a pure resistive load of 1.27MOhm we get the maximum point of power 884.5Watt ! Question what is a good model of a walnut, is a resistor good enough?

How did you arrive at that exact figure?

Maybe it has a NTC effect.

What is NTC?!

Think 64000 volys is enough for the nut.

64000V is nothing for itself. Power counts. Voltage without current is without any effect

NTC, right a nonlinear Walnut 😁👍. As a first model approximation I would start with a pure linear model estimation, tests might show nonlinear effect, but why start with overcomplex models before the simple things are tested. Tge high voltage toys from amazon might be a good start, even they just deliver pulse power only, but in average around 10W is propable in pulse active more then 100Watt, they really hurt!

@kiani negative temperature coefficient. The hotter a component gets the more current flows, like leds and transistors. Positive temperature coefficient is the opposite. The hotter a component gets the less current can flow, like bulb fillaments, wire, resistors, heating elements.

Resistors, metal layer have positiv while carbon have negative!

Thnx. @rich for the brief.. and @ hurz for the apoendix. Btw,, proud to be a noob as "i" detest the use of abbriviations, both in text and speech,,,, it is a kind of obfuscation,,,,, and show off,,

Am not suggesting anyone obfuscates deliberately,,,, it looks to noobs obfuscated,,, recently came across a few abbriviations on WIKI. it took half an hour to rech the bottom of it,, each explanations had more abbriviations,,, and one which don't remember. Never was explained.. So my abbriviation for WIKI abbriviation is. F.A.R.T.

Right, I hate abbriviations, at least explain them in short e.g. NA (Not Applicable). But some people use them in its longer form which is also not always helpful, this is what frauds do and runs me crazy 😵
