My orange cat will try to grab the machine for sure. Typical 1 brain cell cats

My cat tried to jump into a fire to play with it once.

It took a surprisingly long time to reach that conclusion.

Love completely unnecessary Reddit comments.

•

u/TheChosenWon246 11h ago

The cat to its therapist: I've seen things beyond anyone's comprehension. People called me a madcat when I spoke about it.

•

u/Past_Succotash6772 11h ago

Maybe get the cat far from that thing

How else will Angier make duplicates?

•

u/dadneverleft 11h ago

Seriously. I’m glad the cat realized hanging out was a bad idea, since the owner clearly doesn’t care.

•

u/toney8580 7h ago

And maybe do that outside lol

•

u/mion81 8h ago

Get the cat away from the cat repeller? I love a task that resolves itself.

•

u/rt58killer10 3h ago

I think cat got the message...

u/bellboy718 2h ago

Maybe do this in a less cluttered space?

What do you expect to happen?

u/PoloTshNsShldBlstOff 11h ago

Now just contain the field in a rotating celunoid to achieve time travel

u/Fetlocks_Glistening 10h ago

I think you mean celloloid

u/Rambozo77 9h ago

Flux capacitoid.

u/Colonel_Butthurt 10h ago

Surely you meant a cylinder frame.

u/SuspiciousSpeed6756 11h ago

That cat is thinking he took WAY too much catnip

•

u/BigPoppaStrahd 11h ago

The 300,000v machine is running at high voltage?

•

u/randomgunfire48 10h ago

And probably no amps to speak of but without knowing the watts or resistance you can’t really calculate

•

u/AlphaChewtoy 6h ago

Cat was doing the math and calculated that it was time to go

•

u/randomgunfire48 6h ago

Cats are nature’s early warning signal

•

u/mbklein 9h ago

That was my second thought right after, “Is there such a thing as low voltage plasma outside a vacuum chamber?”

•

u/SalamanderGlad9053 4h ago

No, because air breaks down over a gap when the potential gradient is more than 3kV/cm.

•

u/HereOnCompanyTime 10h ago

It looks like bad 80s special effects. Poor kitty.

u/jacksodus 9h ago

Seems like something that a) shouldn't be done in a living room and b) shouldn't be done near cats...

•

u/Training-Chain-5572 4h ago

Those curtains got me nervous 

•

u/axallay777 10h ago

I have a question, what is this thing and what does it do other than spin and spew electricity everywhere

•

u/Boomshank 5h ago

You say that with a very judgemental tone that suggests people SHOULDN'T just jizz electricity ALLL over their living room.

•

u/SalamanderGlad9053 4h ago

It spins because it's quite literally shooting charged particles out the end of the cathodes/annodes.

It's just a very high frequency, high potential difference generator at a low current.

•

u/moderngamer327 9h ago

Well you could use it to spin a propeller on a helicopter or plane but it would be a very inefficient way of doing so

•

u/FakeEgo01 7h ago

there are models that do that, look for "plasma channel" or something like that on youtube, it's amazing.

•

u/Lunix420 7h ago

Wdym „custom”??? Do these come in a non custom variant, like from amazon or what?

•

u/isanyusernameopen 6h ago

I would put that in the front yard, put out a lawn chair and a cooler of beer, plug it in and watch it as the neighbors drive-by….Give them a toast.

•

u/TiSoBr 6h ago

Cat's like "Nah, I've seen what Tesla Coils do in Red Alert."

•

u/Swenterrobang 10h ago

'THWOMP' .cat disappears.

u/warrybuffalo 10h ago

So like what would happen if you reached out like Adam did to God and tried to touch it?

•

u/exintel 27m ago

Those pieces are very hot, you melt flesh with that don’t touch

•

u/Boomshank 5h ago

Just replying to you to point out that the above "Comment has been removed" also works as an answer to your question.

u/OnTheList-YouTube 11h ago

I can see some applications for that generator

•

u/Boomshank 5h ago

Other than "electrifying living rooms" or "traumatizing kitties"?

Or is that pretty much the list?

•

u/CES0108 11h ago

Looks a like a anime.

u/slaty_balls 11h ago

u/1cem4n82 10h ago

Cat’s name is Perry.

u/AriesGeorge 10h ago

If the cat was a dog it would probably have tried to eat the plasma.

•

u/mark95002 10h ago

Uh...yes. the 300k volts kinda clued me in to the fact that it's "operating at a high voltage". If you used AI to write a title, I will scream.

•

u/Downtown-Analyst5289 10h ago

Love how the cat goes to its little bunker and keeps watching.

Operating at high voltage and 300kV is a little redundant
