Like in many languages, the Dutch word for potassium is 'kali', from the Arab القالِي, al-qaly, for calcinated ashes. This is strange, because the English word 'potassium' comes from the Dutch 'potas': ash in a pot.

Not yet tested and calibrated, but almost fully assembled: a power supply that is variable between 100V and 1100V. One of the ingredients of the 1930s experiment that I am trying to re-enact.

Part of the proceedings today was finishing the housing of the 1KV power supply, which took ages. Next is assembling the internals.

Fortunately I was able to repair this fairly scary 1KV power supply.
