Fractal Wood Burning With Car Battery Charger

Making lichtenberg wood burnings with a recycled microwave transformer 4x speed.

Fractal wood burning with car battery charger.

A voltage booster transformer you need a voltage booster transformer with a 12v input voltage and 2000v output voltage. The first step was to purchase a 6 amp manual battery charger from napa. 2 points 3 years ago. Get the front of the wood moist hook up jumper cables to a car battery and then you can see where the cables were clamped to the wood and it runs thru the grain.

You need the following requirements for fractal wood burning with a car battery. If you prefer randomized patterns and do not want to spend too much time check for electricity burning. There are several posts on various sites about to build a wood burner from a battery charger. You can order one to be built.

Detailed instructions for using high voltage electricity to burn lichtenberg figures sometimes referred to as fractal patterns into wood. The backyard scientist who you may remember pouring molten aluminum into a watermelon has a very cool how to for burning lichtenberg fractal patterns into pieces of plywood using electricity not only is the process mesmerizing as you can see above but the resulting patterns are beautiful. If you have an experience of wood burning art you know how long it takes to do it in addition you must have a design sketch and follow it. In creating this homemade device you have to use a battery charger as a transformer to amplify the voltage.

There are two ways to get these transformers. A car battery. Fractal wood burning with car battery. I believe that s called lichtenberg figures level 2.

Burning wood with a battery charger is to convert it into a makeshift woodburning device for fractal wood burning art which is very dangerous. This method takes much less time but its output is very different and of course unexpected. These machines are very dangerous and potentially deadly if you make a mistake when. 1 point 3 years ago.

The high voltage electricity is generated by a transformer usually a microwave oven transformer a neon sign transformer or an oil burner transformer.
