I'm quite aware of the dangers and how to avoid them, what about using a simple function generator after wards to modulate the frequency. I just want a high voltage ac that I can modulate the frequency of.
When I plug my NST into the wall at 60 Hz, I've been told a 120 Hz AC current comes out of my NST. What happens if I modulate the input frequency with a function generator to the transformer?

Alright this is from the MIT intro series book by AP French on Waves and Optics, Problem 6-10 (If you happen to have the book)
"A laser can be made by placing a plasma tube in an optical presonany caity formed by two highly reflecting faltmirrors, which act like rigid...
Alright, I've been looking around for an opinion on this for awhile:
Suppose you have a tube of deuterium whose radius is much much less then the length. You use a high voltage/large current to ionize this Deuterium. In a similar configuration to the Z-Pinch device a magnetic field is...
IMHO, Wikipedia is a great source because it gives you what you need to get to certain equations, but doesn't give you the steps in between--you can prove them yourself. I feel Wiki is accurate enough for math, maybe not for other subjects.
Homework Statement
What would the geometric explanation of exp(-i*x) be?
Homework Equations
Exp(-i*x), i being (-1)^1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm pretty sure this is just a circle, created clockwise? Just want to check.
