It would be ambiguous to link such diverging devices together. Violet wands can sometimes be based on technology similar to that of tesla coils, but they can also be electronic. John Freshwater: The device that was used to cause burns has been described in all news sources only as a tesla coil which is dissimilar. The only company to make a red body violet wand was Erotec, which is no longer in business. 208.38.199.57 (talk) 01:39, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Īppearance: There are many manufacturers of violet wands, both inside and outside the US, in Europe and in Asia, and most of them look very similar since they have similar function. If it says 'BD-10,' and has this bakelite housing then it's the same Bleadon-Dun Violetta device currently used everywhere, and variously called 'Quack medical violet wand,' 'Violet ray,' 'Tesla Coil,' 'Oudin Coil,' 'Spark Coil,' 'Vacuum Tester,' 'Insulation Tester,' etc. HalJor (talk) 18:04, 7 July 2012 (UTC) Look on the flat base. To say the device in the article 'is actually' the one in your link can't really be proven. (This is the device used by a creationist science teacher to burn crosses on students' arms - see the the Wikipedia article 'John Freshwater.') Paulburnett (talk) 14:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC) I can see the similarity, but I have a device that looks like the one in the article except that it's black, and it also does not have a label of any kind as the one in your link. Violet wand instruction manual generator#The device pictured at the top of the article, labeled as an 'Erotec Violet Wand, circa 2000,' is actually an Electro-Technics BD-10A High Frequency Generator with the Electro-Technics label cleverly obscured - see. Others keep their hair quite short and spend some measured time with their scalp in the sun for the UV light it provides naturally. Curiously, UV light treatment is apparently still given by doctors to some people's scalps for certain severe dandruff conditions, I believe those devices have a comb and bulb combined, may require a prescription, and are not violet wands. It's also unknown what type of gas is used inside the tube, though that likely changes the color of the emitted light. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's unknown what type of glass is used for the inert-gas tubes of these devices. Some neon tubes use a mix of lead in the glass to decrease emission of harmful frequency bands, versus a purer form of borosilicate or pyrex to increase UV. Regarding UV light, the glass used on various kinds of tubes apparently affects this. Coupling hairdresser use in the same sentence with erotic stimulation, making the concept seem somehow 'exciting', seems a not-very-wise association for anyone to make. Violet wand instruction manual tv#Similar devices are used by TV repair people to test for a leaking CRT no longer under vacuum. Placing one near the brain, as a hairdresser might? How many brain cells might that destroy? In the handle there's reportedly a high ratio winding, similar to a Tesla coil, to up the voltage, which creates the tube's arc. zandperl 15:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC) I agree that any dangers of these devices should be made clearer. ![]()
