You will find below all the details and diagrams for building and test yourself the Transdimensional's Lifter experiment.
The Basic Lifter is a very light weight device, only one upper frame is built and the aluminum sheet must be very thin. This is a very fun experiment which worth to be replicated.
The Basic Lifter is maintained on the
ground base with 3 thin nylon threads to avoid that it escapes to
the ceiling...
The Basic Lifter remains very stable above the ground while the
power supply is energized. A 330 Kohms/10 Watts resistor is
connected in serie with the HV Output to limit the current flow.
This High Voltage power supply used is able to generate up to 25-30kV DC Output from a 12-24v DC input. With a fully adjustable DC input power supply (0-24V/4A), it is possible to adjust the HV output between 5 to 30kV. This HV power supply use a common flyback driver circuit with two 2N3055 power transistors as a push-pull oscillator. A common flyback transformer from an old TV/monitor can be used, the transformer HV output is connected to a 30kv Voltage tripler which commonly used in all color TV monitors.
In the Basic Lifter experiment the DC Input of the HV Power supply is 15 V @ 2.3 A.

If you have some difficulties to find the 100pF/10 KV
capacitor, the diagram above works also well.
Don't forget
that the Pin D is not connected in this case.

| BE CAREFUL, USE EXTREME CAUTION !!!, this device use High Voltage, ALWAYS switch off the input and discharge the output to the ground through 10k/2W resistor before touch it. These plans are not intended for the inexperienced. User of this document should be very carefull and experienced in High-Voltage electronics to try anything out ! If you do it the risk of any results is just yours. I take no responsibility of anything that might happen. |
| ATTENTION !!!, Faites preuve d'une extrême prudence, Vous manipulez ici de la Haute-Tension, TOUJOURS arrêter puis déconnecter votre alimentation ou le moniteur et décharger la sortie Haute Tension à travers une résistance de 10Kohms/2W avant toute manipulation.. Les plans et les conseils présentés ici, ne sont pas destinés à des débutants. Vous devrez procéder avec soin et prudence et avoir l'habitude de manipuler de la Haute-Tension avant d'envisager une telle expérience ! Si vous décider de réaliser cette expérience, ceci est à votre propre risque et je décline toute responsabilité en ce qui concerne les éventuels dommages matériels ou physiques causés. |

The Lifter1 works also very well with this 30KV power supply
It is also possible to use the THT power supply output
from an old PC Color monitor ( see the photo
above )
