Hello every one. Hope you are doing amazing. I am new to the forum and I hope I am putting the post under appropriate thread. Please feel free to guide me through rules if I do mistakes.
I will honor every ones reply over my little project.
I am making a small glove box which is inclined towards doing hard disk head and platter transplants.
My father is into data recovery business and often has a requirement of hard disk head transplants.
We lack a clean portable room in our office and as a B.Sc First Year student, I decided to take a step and device a portable clean environment glove box in which the disk can be kept and transplants can be performed under low particle environment.
The air inside the glove box will be removed with a pump and fed into a chain of filters. I will be experimenting with various kinds of filters ranging from automobile (bike) filters and will also do DIY searches on HEPA filter. I have a bug in my mind to incorporate a electrostatic precipitation somewhere in the chain. The air will be passed through these filters and will be re-fed into the box so that the internal pressure is maintained to what ever it was.
Here is something that I did and a few observations.
I brought a mosquito killing bat which is having a small battery source and a step up circuit which increases the voltage to around 2-3kV. Some forum/website said even close to 8kV.
My multimeter reads around 2kV when the battery inside is partially charged.
I rip opened the racket and connected two copper plates that are used to make pcbs using wires attached to the plats and the terminals on the racket.
I keep the circuit on and try to bring the plates together. When the plates are held around 1cm apart, i hear sizzle sound from them. Is air being ionzed... The air surely gets ionized when the plates are kept as close as 2-3mm since there is di electric breakdown seen (sparks).
The question is? is the air being ionized?
To my little knowledge E=V/D (electric field) ...F=((Q.q)/(d^2)) * 9x10^9...so when d tends to zero E increases and F also increases (since E also = F/C)...so more force between the plates could cause the gas to ionize?
Kindly shower wisdom.
Sincerely
Mr.A
