High Voltage Salvage: Extracting Safely from Old CRT Monitor

AI Thread Summary
Extracting a high voltage system from an old CRT monitor poses significant safety risks, especially if proper precautions are not taken. The original poster expresses a desire to salvage components but does not disclose their intended use for the high voltage system. There is a strong emphasis on the need for safety when handling such equipment, with a warning that if one has to ask about safety, it likely indicates a lack of knowledge. Ultimately, the discussion concludes with the thread being locked, reinforcing the importance of safety in such endeavors. Engaging in high voltage extraction without proper expertise is discouraged.

I need a high voltage system (Why you ask! Just for that I am not telling you why!). The potential gold mine that I found in my basement is... an old CRT monitor! Great! Will I and if so how will I be able to extract a high voltage system from it SAFELY. It is very old so I may need to replace some of the caps and such but I know how to buy/make them.

If you have to ask, then it cannot be done safely. Thread locked.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
