]]> This is the first post of the “High Voltage Videos” series.

Here, I’ll publish some videos of curiosities and interesting things involving high voltage electricity.

Enjoy them :)

What happens if you touch the power lines?


15000 Volt (15kV) Electricity Arc at 1.5 Ampere

500000 Volt (500kV) Switch Opening Arc (VERY good!)

“Plasma” beam (Recommended!)

Cooking a hot dog with high voltage (That would happen to your hand! (at least))

Burning a CD with a Neon Sign Transformer

A guy frying everything with a circuit made with a Flyback Transformer

Later, when I read some of the information which came inside, I realized they wanted you to use it as a toolbox…

I leave you some pictures…

]]> Have you ever wondered how you could power on a computer remotely?

Well, with this program you can do it!

C:\>wol

Wake-On-Lan (WOL) Tool v1.0 by NeoEGM

http://www.neoegm.com/software/wake-on-lan/

-------------------------------------------

Usage: wol 

Wakes the computer with the specified MAC address.

Accepted MAC address formats: 01-4B-8E-00-52-A1
                              01-4b-8e-00-52-a1
                              01:4B:8E:00:52:A1
                              01:4b:8e:00:52:a1
                              014B.8E00.52A1
                              014b.8e00.52a1
                              014b8e0052a1
                              014B8E0052A1

You have to configure the remote computer (the one which will be powered on) to support the Wake-On-LAN feature. This is done in the CMOS settings looking for the “Power/ACPI” settings or something like that.

Then, you have to find out the MAC Address (sometimes called “Physical Address”) of the network adapter connected to the LAN. On Windows it’s done doing this from the console:

C:\>ipconfig /all

Windows IP Configuration

   Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : mypc1
   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
   WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Marvell Yukon 88E8056
PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1F-C2-14-B3-F4
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.254

In this case, it’s “00-1F-C2-14-B3-F4″, so the tool can be used like this:

C:\>wol 00-1F-C2-14-B3-F4

Wake-On-Lan (WOL) Tool v1.0 by NeoEGM

http://www.neoegm.com/software/wake-on-lan/

-------------------------------------------

Wake-up packet sent to MAC address 00-1F-C2-14-B3-F4.

There are some restrictions that apply to the hardware, but a summary may be: the motherboard must support the “Wake-On-Lan (WOL)” feature and the NIC (network adapter) must have a wire called with that name connected to the motherboard. If the motherboard of the computer you want to power on is not so old and has an integrated (on-board) Ethernet card, then it’ll probably work.

GNU GPL v3 WakeOnLan is licensed under the GNU GPL v3 (attached)…

The instructions were quite simple:

1- While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2- Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!

After breaking my mind for some attempts, I finally found that if you try starting from very low speeds, you can master it!

Anyway I found it quite interesing to be shared :)
As always: practice makes perfect… (Without getting maniac, of course!)

Now start trying!

It has clear influences of lots of Metaphysics books from Conny Méndez, Saint Germáin and others I read by that time; that, by the way, I recommend…

It’s not too lengthy (15 A4 sheets), but I leave it to be downloaded in Word format for your convenience.
