Part 7/11:
A core theme revolves around his high-voltage systems, capable of generating up to 80,000 volts AC. He mentions earlier equipment weighing around 150 pounds, compared to current smaller units that still pack significant power. He recounts a story involving a former partner, Alec (Alexander Shareski), who was inadvertently injured when a high-voltage apparatus levitated and fell—highlighting both the danger and the thrill of working with such powerful systems.
Safety precautions are a recurring concern, emphasizing proper grounding, corona rings, insulators, and other safety measures — crucial when handling voltages capable of causing serious harm.
