The person behind Kreative Kommit
About Alex
After many years in commercial electrical work, I moved into electronics and became fascinated by violet wands. Here I share violet wand info and guides, pieces from my collection, restoration projects, and practical safety advice.
From electrical work to electronics
I'm Alex. After many years working in the commercial electrical field as a fully qualified electrician, I found myself drawn to electronic development and random projects, driven by a love of understanding how things work and of building and repairing things. That path has led me to explore everything from crypto and PCB development to watch restoration, while always keeping an interest in high voltage.
This is a place to document my projects and share what I learn along the way. It grows from hands-on curiosity, respect for the people who made these devices, and an appreciation for the care that electrical and electronic projects demand.
A focus on violet wands
Violet wands are the main focus of this site. I'll be sharing background info and how-to guides, documenting pieces in my collection, and writing about restoration projects—from what I find during an inspection to the decisions involved in bringing an old instrument back to life.
I'm also interested in related high-voltage devices, including Tesla coils. The aim is to make the technical details approachable while keeping the history, design, and practical realities in view.
Safety comes first
These devices can produce high voltages and can cause serious injury, burns, fire, or damage to nearby electronics. I want safety advice to be part of the conversation, not an afterthought. I'm a fully qualified electrician, but written info and guides cannot assess the condition of your particular device, workspace, or experience. They are for education and do not replace appropriate training, proper equipment, or an in-person assessment when one is needed.
Violet wands are historical electrical instruments, not medical devices. Nothing on this site should be taken as a recommendation to use one for treatment or on another person.
Follow the projects
Whether you're here to learn, explore the collection, or see how a restoration unfolds, I hope you find something useful. The site will develop as I document more of the work.
I also run a sister site about e-stim: how the units work, builds and repairs, and using them safely. Visit Kreative Kommit E-Stim.
