High voltage spark gap around Pi2 - Raspberry Pi Forums


i playing 2.3kv spark gap "toy" put together. 18" 2 pi2s sit on of work bench. when turned on, both pi2 rebooted. waited minute , did again. working fine now, guess pi sensitive electromagnetic noise of high voltage gap. when move other side of room, no problems.

no big deal, caught me off guard , thought interesting.

not surprising @ all, have re-invented radio!
spark generate powerful radio waves indict voltages across wires, , these can disrupt electronics of pi. few volts enough disrupt binary data inside soc.

"spark transmitters" idea.

first radio experiments done spark transmitters, , loop receivers, across receiving loop sports form in synchronicity transmitter.
in air spark of millimeter means @ least thousand volts has formed.
