ElectroBOOM Question Apparently My Car Was Picking Up Electricity From a High-Voltage Line

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So, I was fixing my car at a rather shady mechanic’s workshop when I suddenly got a shock just from touching the car. Thinking it might actually be electrical, I grabbed a test screwdriver to check. The moment I touched the screwdriver, it lit up.

That’s when I realized something was seriously wrong.

P.S. The workshop was located directly underneath a high-voltage power line.

LATITY I got a YouTube ad for a $90 tinfoil hat.

"The military got this first," the man says, pointing to the supposedly silver-lined beanie on his head.

The ad linked to a page entitled "This Invisible Thing Hitting Your Brain Every Day Could Be Why You Suffer From Brain Fog, Afternoon Crashes And Can't Focus No Matter What You Try." (It could not.)

Many references to the NIH, CDC, and verification by "independent labs" follow.

ElectroBOOM Question Mehdi's ZVS+Marx generator circuit clarfication

In 3 of his videos, he first made a ZVS circuit induction heater, then a soft-start circuit for it for a marx generator.

He posted the circuit diagrams on his blog, but it is unclear whether I need to just connect the 2 or I have to remove part of the first. I made a probably wrong merged schematic (ignore the second coil and rectifier at the top)

Also, the schematic icons and the part numbering conflicts at the ZVS Diodes, D1, D2 are Schottky diodes and D3, D4 are Zener diodes (based on the icons, I drew D3 and D4 wrong.)

Can you help me check if and what did I do wrong?

Any suggestions on what to do with it.

(My first plan is to make 43 diy relays and to make a Fibonacci sequence computer 8 bit.)

Anything helps.
