AI Thread Summary
Wiring 100 LEDs to a PS3's 120VAC power supply poses significant safety risks, especially for someone inexperienced. A night light wiring diagram was referenced, but modifications for safety are crucial. The discussion was initially locked due to concerns about the circuit's safety. An experienced designer may make it safer with proper additions, but caution is advised for novices. Overall, professional guidance is recommended before proceeding with such a project.

im trying to wire 100 leds into my playstation using my ps3's 120vac power supply I am new to this so I am not quite sure how to do it but i found a night light wiring diagram and was wondering what i had to do to modify it to fit my needs i attached it to this post i appreciate any help thanks

That circuit is crazy unsafe. Thread locked. PM me to discuss what you want to do, and maybe we can re-open the thread. Lordy.


EDIT -- Okay, in the hands of an experienced designer, this could be safe-ish with the right additions. But in the hands of somebody who says "I'm not sure what I'm doing", that's the crazy part.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
