Biefeld–Brown effect
is an electrical phenomenon that produces an ionic wind that transfers its momentum to surrounding neutral particles. ... The Biefeld–Brown effect can be observed in ionocrafts and lifters, which utilize the effect to produce thrust in the air without requiring any combustion or moving parts.
its like basically static, like how you read about people who about get struck by lighting (and survive)... their hair starts to stand up prior
i dont think this would work on anything heavier than a few ounces. I read up on this type of "levitation" and other types...how they moved heavy monolithic blocks etc
suppressed tech

ffs man, dont electrocute yourself, some serious high voltage in those

Finally, a use for all of my broken down monitors..
Why doesn't auto_turret fix them, if he's so good at fixin'?
It ain't that high voltage flyback transformer output I'm worried about.. It's that medium voltage B+ line at around 100vdc with all the current it needs to kill several of me behind it that scares me.
Even with an isolation transformer and one hand behind my back... man... I dunno...

Dude CRTs are no joke, they can and will kill you if you are not careful.

Oh yes. Even after careful study about how to go about doing it.. I'm still a little chicken shit about it.
Just the sound of that thing powering up is like it is screaming "danger! reeeeeeeeee!"

CRTs... radiation... doing this...
dead within the week.
seriously can't believe someone did this. either they are kind of an idiot or really knew what they were doing.

wikipedia... here's a quick run down though.

Ionizing radiation
CRTs can emit a small amount of X-ray radiation as a result of the electron beam's bombardment of the shadow mask/aperture grille and phosphors. The amount of radiation escaping the front of the monitor is widely considered not to be harmful. The Food and Drug Administration regulations in 21 C.F.R. 1020.10 are used to strictly limit, for instance, television receivers to 0.5 milliroentgens per hour (mR/h) (0.13 µC/(kg·h) or 36 pA/kg) at a distance of 5 cm (2 in) from any external surface; since 2007, most CRTs have emissions that fall well below this limit.[67]
