DIY high voltage power source

Hi guys, today I'm here with a nice post about how to create High Voltage Power Sources.
First of all: I'm not responsible of your use of the information in this post. 
I'm also not responsible if you hurt yourself or someone near you.
Before doing stupid things remember High Voltage kills (or even hurt really badly).

I'm posting about 3 main methods to have a nice power supply.
1)BUG ZAPPER TRANSFORMER
Inside  a bug zapper there is a little nice transformer that can raise voltage up to 600V.

I used this circuit for the cockroft walton voltage multiplier.

2)MICROWAVE OVEN TRANSFORMER (MOT) 
You can fin this transformer inside a microwave oven. It raises voltage up to 4kv.
It's probably the most dangerous type of transformer I'll talk about (1.5KW).

You can use this transformer for a tesla coil or a jacob ladder.

3) BALLAST HID
This component is used for the xenon lights on cars. You can buy it for 15/20€ .
To use it I needed another transformer (3.2A 12v).

Here is a video of some HV arcs I made:

I hope you like this post, if you have any question just comment, and remember to pay attention, high voltage hurts.

Gather client information with javascript

Hi guys I'm here with a post about all the info about the client that can be gathered with javascript.

IP ADDRESS:

var ip;

function getip(json){
ip = json.ip;
} 

Using JSON is probably the easiest way to get the client's IP address.



BROSWER NAME AND VERSION

var navigatorCodeName = navigator.appCodeName;
var navigatorName = navigator.appName;
var navigatorVersion =  navigator.appVersion;

Simple and clear.

CLIENT PLATFORM

var platform = navigator.platform;

ARE COOKIES ENABLED?

var cookiesEnabled = navigator.cookieEnabled;

PLUGINS

var txt;

txt+="Number of detected plugins: " + navigator.plugins.length + "<br>";

for(i = 0; i<navigator.plugins.length; i++){
txt+="Plugin N°" + i+1 + " --> name = " + navigator.plugins[i].name + " --> location = " + navigator.plugins[i].filename + "<br>";
}

alert(txt);

First of all we gather the number of plugins, then we make a list of them.

HISTORY LENGTH IN THE CURRENT SESSION

var historyLength = window.history.length;

CLIENT'S LOCATION

if(google.loader.ClientLocation){
visitor_lat = google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude;
visitor_lon = google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude;
visitor_city = google.loader.ClientLocation.address.city;
visitor_region = google.loader.ClientLocation.address.region;
visitor_country = google.loader.ClientLocation.address.country;
visitor_countrycode = google.loader.ClientLocation.address.country_code;
}
else{
alert("Script were unable to get your location");
}

I hope you'll find these stuffs useful, here is a demonstration of them.

If you have any question just comment.

Open source game engine: maratis3d

Hi, today i'm posting about a really versatile and easy to use open source game engine, it's called maratis3d.
I think it's a good point to start game development, it supports many cool features like lua scripting, full blender integration (with an addon), sounds, texts and many more...
The only bad thing is that it has a really poor documentation.
I'll not write everything about this game engine because I think it's really noob friendly and with just some tutorials that you can find on youtube you should make a nice little game.
I hope you'll enjoy playing around with that, if you have any question comment or send me an email to damianoandre@gmail.com

Best free screen recording softwares

If you wanna record your screen there are lots of software but it's difficult to say wich one is the best, I think that the best three are:
-The MajorSilence screen recorder : it is good to record desktop, it create very small output files but it isn't very good with 3d software like games.
-The ezvid built-in screen recorder : it records in high quality but creates big output files and it doesn't record fullscreen mode games
-The ffmpeg based screen recorder : it record about everything and in a good quality but it creates big output files

I don't know which one is the best but I personally prefer the ffmpeg based.
I hope this post will be useful, if you have any question comment or send me an e-mail to damianoandre@gmail.com
