Early Experiments with the medium

Concept 1.1 - An Electric Pet

Concept 1.2 - Digitalogue Clock

Explorations with physical material

3D printed PLA painted with conductive Ink

Organic material covered with conductive ink

Organic material turned out to be a bad material for this use as the voltage generator produces around 15kV(apparently). At this voltage, the material acted as a conductor and din not lead to many interesting outcomes.

After consultation with Prof. Woohun Lee, we decided to go ahead with the Digitalogue clock. Currently we are in the process of making 7-Segment displays using these electric arcs.

Custom TIP-120 based board, to control the arc generators using Arduino
