Q&A on Electrical Connections, 100 Amp Wiring, Marx Generator & Capacitors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses several questions about electrical connections, high amp wiring, Marx generators, and capacitors. It clarifies that electrons are inherently negative, making the inquiry about switching them nonsensical. For high amp wiring, 100 amps is considered standard, and such wiring can be found at hardware stores. The construction of a Marx generator is cautioned against due to safety risks, with a recommendation to seek more information online while emphasizing the need for expertise. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of understanding electrical concepts and safety when working with high voltage and current systems.

Hi, everyone I am new around here and was wondering if anybody could answer some basic questions for me?

1. I was wondering how you would make an electrical connection or for example a direct connect from a battery to switch the electrons to be only negative or only positive.

2. If you have any industrial websites or the such I need to find very high amp wiring and safety equipment. Around 100 amp wiring.

3. I didn't know if you would know how to make a marx generator, it basically uses a multiple capacitor bank and air or any gas basically to arc them when turned on, thus making a sort of pulse type energy.

4. Where could I possibly find capacitors that are specifically made for very rapid discharge/recharge?

5. And what kind of setup would I have to have to basically use a let's say a generalized battery and then have the marx generator pulse energy through the line whenever it completely recharges?

Thank you!

That question doesn't make any sense to me. Electrons are negatively charged.

100 amps is not high at all. You can get such wires at any decent hardware store. Are you confusing amps and volts?
3. I didn't know if you would know how to make a marx generator, it basically uses a multiple capacitor bank and air or any gas basically to arc them when turned on, thus making a sort of pulse type energy.
Googling turns up a lot of info, but I suggest that without a high level of knowledge of the subject, you not even attempt it. There is a very real chance of death if you have a problem.
 
Welcome to PF, Kevin.
If your first question means what I think it does, as to reversing the polarity to a load, then the following diagram might help. It's the circuit that I use to make a DC motor reversible without having to swap the battery connections.

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...
