Electric Asturias Fractals Rare
Wood burning, which goes by pyrography when it’s feeling fancy, has been an art form for centuries. PapaJ06 puts a new twist on it by using a microwave oven transformer to generate. It’s a reasonable guess, but nope. Attempting to model physical processes like this in software would take a huge amount of CPU power.
Even if it were not for that, not every pyrographically-modelled “tree” would end up looking like a respectable tree; there’s far too much unpredictability.What’s often used is an “iterated function system”, abbreviated as IFS. It’s a simple type of fractal. Wikipedia has an article on it. A Google Image search on “IFS trees” or “fractal trees” will show some good examples of the output. There are likely some freeware programs that will let you easily play with them, but as it’s been decades since I’ve used one, I can’t make a current recommendation. A fire extinguisher would be a good idea too in case of firemicrowave ovens can also be picked up for free because people throw out them since they are so cheap.good sources are.1.
Garbage and dumpsters many people even set junkers out by the curb (check with local laws because there may be contracts to require the recycling of appliances).2. Students if you live in a college town there is student housing and they throw out appliances without much regard for recycling laws when they leave for the summer and christmas break)3. Appliance stores and repair shops especially the small mom and pop shops and they maybe even willing to give you just the transformer or discharge or remove the high voltage capacitor for extra safety.4. Recycling centers they can be sketchy since appliances and electronics can be treated the same. It’s amazing how people think warnings will stop people doing dumb stuff, its like laws/locks only protecting you from non criminals.

If high voltage and big red letters of danger and wood catching fire doesn’t stop you doing something dumb, what will?Warning dropping a MOT on someones head is very dangerous and might kill them. Please do not throw microwave ovens at small children. Pets put inside microwave ovens then subjected to high power microwaving for 5 minutes may expire.Anyway, pretty neat project I do like watching the patterns form in the wood and interesting to see the pathways chosen, i guess some people just want to watch the wood burn.
Regarding danger. It’s OBVIOUSLY dangerous, so just telling people that it’s dangerous is pointless. Instead of just repeatedly pointing out the obvious, why not give some useful and specific recommendations for doing it more safely?
Here’s a couple:1) The large HV capacitor in a microwave oven has a bleeder resistor, that drains the charge on the capacitor when the power is off. It’s rare, but it can fail. In which case the capacitor may hold a lethal charge, possibly even for days or weeks. Always consider it failed, and short that capacitor to eliminate the charge prior to ripping out the MOT.
I have done it by bridging the capacitor contacts with needlenose pliers, with an insulated grip, while wearing a long rubber glove. Avoid touching the microwave case while doing this.
Avoiding touching anything grounded too. You might not be aware of what’s grounded (a drywall corner surprised me with a nasty shock once, I didn’t even know there was metal in them), so basically touch nothing else; and wear rubber-soled shoes to provide some additional insulation from anything in the floor. If the capacitor was holding a charge, there will be a loud bang. Your pliers will have a nice scar on them, and might be spot welded to the capacitor contacts. Better them than you!2) No common wire has insulation sufficient to reliably hold back high voltage. Not even the most heavily insulated wire you can find at the hardware or automotive store.
Don’t touch any part of a high voltage circuit when it’s powered, even an insulated wire. Even if it’s a wire with insulation made specifically for HV, energy can still transfer through that insulation to you capacitively; just like energy transfers to you through the glass of a plasma globe. In a darkened room, you might even be able to see it as a faint blue glow surrounding where you’re holding the wire, with more energetic streams where specks of dust focus the current. Sounds pretty cool, but seriously, don’t try that. It’s enough charge you up to the point where you’ll receive a shock should you touch something grounded (like the aforementioned drywall corner, I’m speaking from direct experience). And while that shock in itself probably won’t be lethal, it WILL make you jerk in surprise; at which point you might touch something far more dangerous, that you would never intentionally touch. I’ve used a large and long standard screwdriver (with a large resin handle) (with other safety precautions you mentioned), and for shorting big capacitors.
As long as you don’t make contact at the very tip, even if the capacitor welds itself to the screwdriver, it can be removed and you still have a functional tool instead of potentially welding your pliers shut. A nice long screwdriver also can keep your hands (and you) much further away from the voltage (8″+ vs 2″-4″ with the needle nose pliers), greatly reducing the chances of accidentally contacting some part of metal case of the microwave.

In the period, a native culture developed, that of the Asturiense, and later, with the introduction of the, and were constructed. In the, the territory came under the cultural influence of the; the local Celtic peoples, known as the, were composed of tribes such as the Luggones, the Pesicos, and others, who populated the entire area with (fortified hill-towns).
Today the Celtic influence persists in, such as those of rivers and mountains. In the 18th century, Asturias was one of the centres of the. The renowned thinker settled in the of., a and prominent reformer and politician of the late 18th century, was born in the seaside town of.During the, Asturias was the first Spanish province to rise up against the French following the abdication of King on 10 May 1808. Riots began in Oviedo and on 25 May the local government formally declared war on with 18,000 men called to arms to resist invasion.The came to Asturias after 1830 with the discovery and systematic exploitation of coal mines and iron factories at the mining basins of. At the same time, there was significant migration to (especially, and ); those who succeeded overseas often returned to their native land much wealthier. These entrepreneurs were known collectively as 'Indianos', for having visited and made their fortunes in the and beyond. The heritage of these wealthy families can still be seen in Asturias today: many large 'modernista' villas are dotted across the region, as well as cultural institutions such as free schools and public libraries.
Location of Asturias and its neighbors in 800 ADAsturias played an important part in the events that led up to the. In October 1934 Asturian miners and other workers staged an armed uprising (see ) to oppose the coming to power of the party, which had obtained three ministerial posts in the centralist government of the. For a month, a Popular Front Committee exercised control in southern Asturias, while local workers committees sprang up elsewhere in the region. A war committee dominated by supporters took power in Oviedo.
Troops under the command of a then unknown general named were brought from to suppress the revolt. Franco applied tactics normally reserved for overseas colonies, using troops of the and: ferocious oppression followed.As a result, Asturias remained loyal to the republican government during the, and was the scene of an extraordinary defence in extreme terrain, the. With Franco eventually gaining control of all Spain, Asturias — traditionally linked to the — was known merely as the 'Province of Oviedo' from 1939 until Franco's death in 1975. The province's name was restored fully after the return of democracy to Spain, in 1977.
In the 50s and 60s the industrial progress of Asturias continued with the constitution of national enterprises like and Hunosa, but the 80s was the decade of a dramatic.On 30 December 1981, Asturias became an autonomous community within the decentralised territorial structure established by the Constitution of 1978., who had previously served as the President of the Regional Council since 1978, became the first, upon the adoption of autonomy.

Torimbia beach,The key features of Asturian geography are its rugged coastal cliffs and the mountainous interior.The climate of Asturias is heavily marked by the gulf stream. Falling within the Cantabrian belt known as Green Spain it has high precipitations all year round. Summers are mild and, on the coast, winters also have relatively benign temperatures, rarely including frost.
The cold is especially felt in the mountains, where snow is present from October till May. Both rain and snow are regular weather features of Asturian winters. In coastal or near-coastal areas, daytime high temperatures generally average around 12 °C (54 °F) – 13 °C (55 °F) during winter and 22 °C (72 °F) – 23 °C (73 °F) in summer.
