Using a condenser microphone and the FFT HP3561A analyzer, a 200 Hz square wave signal was fed into an ESL (Martin Logan Sequel II electrostatic loudspeaker):



This is the electrostatic speaker:


FT signal of the 200 Hz square wave of the function generator:


FT signal of the condenser measuring microphone:

The acoustic spectra of sung vowels of several persons were recorded with a condenser microphone and the FFT-Analyzer HP3561A:


In the first row the spectra for A, E, I, O, U are shown, person 1.
In the second row the spectra for A, E, I, O, U are shown, person 2.
In the third row the spectra for A, E, I, O, U are shown, person 3.

Although the fundamental frequencies of the vowels of the first person (in the first row) are much smaller than those of the two children (in the second and third rows), the spectral patterns for the individual vowels are reasonably similar. This is due to the resonance characteristics of the vocal tract, where each vowel can be identified in specific frequency bands (the formants) due to its spectral distribution.

Spark Gap Tesla Coils (SGTC) / spectral analysis of Tesla coils
« on: December 15, 2018, 02:24:20 PM »
Hello Tesla friends

I have two questions:
1. Has anyone done an electromagnetic spectral analysis of Tesla coils in operation?
2. Has anyone determined the self-resonances of Tesla coils in the off state, perhaps with shorted spark gaps?

Just before Christmas, two atmospheric Tesla discharges:

Electronic Circuits / Magnetic field measurements on disc magnets
« on: June 27, 2018, 06:34:22 AM »

Disc magnet 30mm diameter, height 15 mm, NdFeB:




Results:

Disc center 0.44 T
1 cm distance 0.2 T
2 cm distance 0.06 T
Edge up to 0.5 T
Side part of the disc (curved) 0.06 T

Disc magnet 45 mm diameter, height 30 mm, NdFeB:




Results:

Disc center 0.52 T
1 cm distance 0.28 T
2 cm distance 0.14 T

Electronic Circuits / Tektronix current probes
« on: June 05, 2018, 10:27:37 AM »
The relatively old current probe Tektronix P6042.
This current probe allows currents from 1 mA/div to 1 A/div (DC to 50 MHz) to be measured without disconnecting the circuit:


The Tektronix current probe P6303, up to a maximum of 100 A.
The maximum frequency, depending on current level, is 15 MHz:


with the control module AM503B:


The Tektronix current clamp CT5 for even higher currents up to 1000 A, but only AC, maximum frequency, depending on current level, is 20 MHz:

Picture follows.

Static Electricity / Elektrostatic Voltmeter 30kV
« on: March 17, 2018, 09:02:27 PM »
The picture shows an electrostatic voltmeter with light mark pointer for a maximum of 30 kV.



In contrast to the other 10 kV electrometer, this instrument has two additional measuring ranges 7.5 kV and 15 kV:

Static Electricity / Electrometer 10kV
« on: March 14, 2018, 09:21:43 PM »
The picture shows an electrostatic voltmeter with light pointer for a maximum of 10 kV.



My questions to all:

Please, who else has an electrostatic voltmeter in his instrument collection?
Do you have some experience in dealing with voltage measurement by electrometers?
Have you perhaps measured the self-capacitance and the internal resistance of your device?

The last official drivers for the HP ScanJet 6300c from HP are only for Windows XP:

  ScanJet 6300c/cse/cxi/6350c/cse/cxi/6390c PrecisionScan Pro software/driver - SCSI and USB            Windows XP    95.27M    
  ScanJet 6300C/6350C/6390C series PrecisionScan Pro driver update and button fix - USB and SCSI    Windows XP    487.5k


10
I got a hint to undo the update from Windows 10 to the previous version from Windows 10.
I was lucky.
After restoring to the previous Windows version 10, the HP 6300C scanneris running again with the same program and driver as before the update.

11
Under Windows 10, the HP Scanjet 6300c worked without problems.
After an automatic update to a new version of Windows 10, the scanner stopped working.
Despite much work, I could not use the scanner anymore.
Please, does anyone have any advice?

Transformer (Iron Core) / Re: UV sensitivity of a Nikon D70
« on: February 28, 2018, 02:45:24 PM »
The UV sensitivity of a modified Nikon D70 was measured:



In addition to the 436 nm and 404 nm lines of the visible Hg spectrum, the 365 nm line of the Hg spectrum and two new UV lines in red (false colour) are clearly visible.

Transformer (Iron Core) / Re: UV sensitivity of a Nikon D70
« on: February 24, 2018, 06:07:51 PM »
Due to the small sensor of the camera, only three lines of the Hg spectrum are visible at the screen of the camera.
Two of them are in the visible part of the spectrum, the third line is in the UV, 365nm, and is visible as a red line. This red is a false colour.

Here is the experimental setup:



At the right hand side you can see the Nikon D70 without a camera lens.
The other camera Canon 10 D is recording spectra from the UV screen.

Complete Hg spectrum:

Transformer (Iron Core) / Fluorescent cardboards as UV-screens
« on: February 24, 2018, 05:59:29 PM »
The spectra are Hg spectra, photographed from a Canon 10D, light source is a Hg high pressure lamp, the entrance slit is imaged with a quartz lens via a reflection grating on different screens:



There are the spectra of the screens, in order from left to right



As you can see, these cheap cardboards with fluorescent paint are well suited and only cost a few dollars for half a square meter.

Transformer (Iron Core) / UV sensitivity of a Nikon D70
« on: February 23, 2018, 09:24:30 AM »
The UV sensitivity of a Nikon D70 was measured by using a Hg spectrum. The camera was used without a camera lens in an open spectrometer configuration, consisting of a quartz lens, a reflection grating and a Hg high pressure lamp as a light source:



In addition to the 436 nm and 404 nm lines of the Hg spectrum, the 365 nm line of the Hg spectrum in red is clearly visible.

Light, Lasers and Optics / UV Absorptance of sun glasses
« on: February 06, 2018, 10:14:19 PM »
I measured the UV absorptance of sun glasses to demonstrate the practical value of a simple spectroscopic apparatus in the UV.

Here are the glasses:



The spectra are photos of Hg spectra, light source is a Hg high-pressure lamp, the entrance slit is imaged with a quartz lens via a reflection grating on a screen, to detect the UV lines, the left part of the screen is coated with an ultraviolet luminous color.

Here are the results:

Reference spectrum:
The camera is a Canon 10D, exposure time = 1/10 second, f/13, f = 105 mm, ISO 3200.


Hg spectrum with sunglass absorptance:
The camera is a Canon 10D, exposure time = 1 second, f/13, f = 105 mm, ISO 3200.

Transformer (Iron Core) / UV transmission of sunglasses
« on: February 03, 2018, 09:10:44 AM »
The spectra are photos of Hg spectra with constant exposure time, light source is a Hg high-pressure lamp, the entrance slit is imaged with a quartz lens via a reflection grating on a screen, to detect the UV lines, the left part of the screen is coated with an ultraviolet luminous color.

The first picture is the Hg reference spectrum, the lines go deep into the UV.


The second picture shows the Hg spectrum, filtered by cheap sunglasses.
The color of the blue line in the spectrum of the sunglasses also corresponds to the color of the visual impression with unarmed eye.
The color of the violet line in the Hg reflectance spectrum does NOT match the color of the visual impression with unarmed eye, and is an artifact, probably due to overexposure at this point.
To my surprise, the quality of the sunglasses is excellent in terms of UV protection,
I will now use these glasses as goggles for my further UV experiments.
UV experiments with normal glasses are in preparation.

Transformer (Iron Core) / UV lines of mercury spectra
« on: January 28, 2018, 01:25:14 AM »
The spectra are photos of Hg spectra with increasing exposure time from top to bottom, light source is a Hg high-pressure lamp, the entrance slit is imaged with a quartz lens via a reflection grating on a screen, to detect the UV lines, the right part of an ultraviolet screen:







Only in the first two spectra do the colors correspond to the visual impression with unarmed eyes.
The blue line on the far left in the last spectrum is a ghost.

Further experiments with quartz glass prism and zinc sulphide screen are in preparation.
