So I now understand that my idea was stupid but in my defense it worked great until my power supply kinda gave out after a few weeks. It’s 19 9 volt batteries wired in series giving 163 volts but no current. My original question was, “why am I not getting current?” But I guess now it’s how did I not die in the making of this from the way they were reacting…
This one’s on me though, I just wish the mods left it up as a cautionary tale.
Edit: Wow I didn’t expect this to blow up. This was a much stupider idea than I thought it was, I know this is a shitpost sub but the main sub didn’t like it either so I figured I might as well. I wasn’t exactly expecting good answers to my questions here but thank you so much to everyone who redirected me and pointed out that this was really dumb. I’ll definitely do more research and maybe not get too carried away next time.
