Please do not repeat what i've shown here. Holding both wires, in both hands, is not smart, nor, is it the safest. Should insulation on one of the wires fail, high voltage current would flow directly across your chest, potentially leading to serious injury / worse. Always use the one hand rule, at all times. That means one hand in your pocket when any device is on. Period. Thanks!

At what voltage does electricity arc: 327V: This is 327V in air at standard atmospheric pressure at a distance of 7.5 µm. The composition of the gas determines both the minimal arc voltage and the distance at which it occurs. For argon, the minimal arc voltage is 137 V at a larger 12 µm. 5 mA is accepted as maximum harmless current (www.highvoltageconnection.com/articles/ElectricShockQuestions.htm).
@PlasmaChannel5 жыл бұрын

Can you provide me with any idea with amplifying the current (amps) in a circuit or any thing. i was thinking to buy a thick wire to allow the current to move even more freely in which i determined the increase in the amps, but if there is another way, i am glad and i want to hear it.

@PlasmaChannel6 жыл бұрын
True! Though, with more current an arc can be stretched further. Significantly further.
@djsnowman066 жыл бұрын
But isn't that due to the lower resistance of ionized air compared to nonionized air. For instance a Jacobs ladder stretches an arc well past it initial breakdown length. Because hot, ionized air rises up into a progressively wider spark gap. When it extinguished the arc restarts at the narrowest gap.

Hey man, I just finished watching all your videos and subscribed to your channel! Most of the stuff in the videos I was already familiar with but the "water bridge" experiment was really cool and something I've never seen before. You've got some great content and I definitely think your channel could become big. You don't have a ton of vids yet but there's been a noticeable improvement in quality from your first one until now (in terms of lighting, audio, etc). Can I ask, what is your background (do you have a degree in electrical engineering, physics, etc?) Some constructive criticism: 1) Personally I like the short, sweet, and to the point style of your content. But there are some things which I would like to see a little more in depth explanation. For example, why does the higher frequency make the arc harder to break? 2) I still think there could be some minor audio improvements. I see that you are now using a lav mic, which helps a lot, but the overall volume level still varies throughout the video (between the intro music, speech, and different clips/voice overs). There are also things like the "pop" at 3:34 in this vid. Like I said these are minor issues, but also easy to fix. I don't know how familiar you are with audio, or what you use to make your videos, but most audio & video programs today have built in tools like normalization, compression, and ducking which greatly improve the audio quality of speech/voice overs. Let me know if you have any questions regarding audio related stuff or how to use these tools. Other than that, keep up the great work! I look forward to watching more of your videos!

+Brandon Doherty I am honored you enjoy my channel. Thank you for the in depth pointers on audio and content depth- I have been struggling with mastering audio for some time. The trick is that I cannot speak and record too loudly, or I receive an echo. Also, depending on which angle im speaking at, my filming room reflects different echo at different levels. This all couples together to give me some nasty audio sometimes, and I try real hard to fix in post. I honestly should just pad the walls with sound absorbing foam. However that is pricey. I hope to keep improving this channel, and your input is greatly appreciated. If any of our videos are share worthy, the biggest compliment is sharing a video or two!
@JMP_22037 жыл бұрын
Yep room sound can be a big problem sometimes. Acoustic foam is one way to fix this and there are other tricks you can use as well. But like I said these are minor issues that can be improved over time. Do you record the audio directly to your camera, or do you record it separately? And do you use another mic besides the lav?
@PlasmaChannel7 жыл бұрын
+Brandon Doherty I record sound directly to fcpx on my computer, then upload video to fcpx and sync sound with video. I just acquired a wireless lav (you can see it for a split second in the new episode when I walk into frame talking about sparks) ... And the quality is much better on that Mike.

Most of my knowledge comes from physics courses and one electronics course I took, but also I have been a maker and experimenter since... 6th grade.

@JMP_22037 жыл бұрын
No problem! As far as the room sound goes, using an expander or noise gate can help. Also, an external preamp or interface for your computer can help as well. And if you are ever looking at getting a different mic, consider with a hypercardioid polar pattern (this just means it picks up the most sound directly in front of it and rejects sound from the sides). And that's great! I just recently graduated with a degree in music business / production, but I have always loved science & experimenting since I was a kid. A lot of electricity & physics related stuff I have learned on my own through reading and videos like this, although I did get a little of it in high school. Ironically the audio engineering classes I took actually helped me understand electricity as well since you're dealing with a lot of the same concepts (ie. frequency, phase, voltage, resistance, etc). I've even delved into high voltage a bit (if you consider 500V high enough lol) when talking about tube amplifiers. I have a video on my channel explaining how they work, if you'd like to check it out!

@@PlasmaChannel not only that but at the point where the ac wave reaches 0 is a point where the arc can be quenched easier. and this 0v happens of course 60xsecond. im not too good with dc wiring though especially higher amperage. i needed a switch for a car battery setup and so i was like "ya lets use a standard 120v switch" but that didn't last 2 long. it worked a good few times but then i think the contact melted because it was stuck on.

I'm trying to make electric arcs from 230 volts AC but it works only with carbon electrodes. When I try with iron nails or some copper wires, I just get some sparks. Could you explain what is happening?
@PlasmaChannel5 жыл бұрын
230 volts is not a high enough voltage to sustain an arc. The carbon electrodes head up from the figh current you pass through them, and those heated electrodes allow for a very high temperature arc to form. But with other materials, like the nail, they heat up from the current and vaporize. 230 is a very dangerous thing to play with. Reduce your current drastically, and power level to under 20 watts, and boost the voltage to 1,000. You will then get arcs

@@PlasmaChannel Thank you for your answer. Actually, I'm trying to melt metals by using electric arcs. I would like to make an electric arc furnace. My machine is working but it needs carbon electrodes to work. Unfortunately, those electrodes are difficult to recover, and they burn when the electric arc is establish. So I would like to know if I can replace them by something else, which could last longer.

i'm very confused, what power source did you use to get that million volt or so arc but yet still a whopping 10 AMPS? did you have to use multiphase AC power, or multiple plugins?
@PlasmaChannel6 жыл бұрын
So, that 10amp pulse is a duration of milliseconds at most. it is 400,000 volts at 10, however Overall power is a pulse containing less than 40 watts / joules of energy

how did you control the current in that multiplier!?

Having designed and built it, I placed a 2,000,000 ohm, 400kV resistor in series with output.

Technically, thousands of degrees. However, it is so momentary, it leaves no damage

Holy hell! How did you manage to catch sparks from voltage multiplier with your hand and not die? Is your VM grounded? Never saw anyone doing that on the internet; it just happens that I myself have 150kv VM, and I would try to catch those sparks if I'd know a little bit more about their possible (non-?)lethality; answer pls
@PlasmaChannel7 жыл бұрын
+alcatel995channel haha, honored you enjoyed! I designed my voltage multiplier to output only 100ma at maximum. While 100ma is lethal, it is delivered in under 1ms, meaning all that happens is a quick contraction of muscle. Also, I do ground the bottom of the multiplier, and ground my right foot (loosely). This causes all current to fly from right arm, down right abdominals, and into right leg through to the ground. Leaves my body untouched. You'll enjoy a few episodes in the future- I'm designing the largest voltage multiplier in the state of Texas.

Nice, but heyy what's going on here, if your maximum output is 0,1A then how can we see 1A and 10A sparks in the video?
@the_ALchannel7 жыл бұрын
Also why don't you use needle-needle spark gap? it would give you much longer sparks.

+alcatel995channel ah, great question. I have two multipliers I built. One of them has the ability to up the current and bypass the internal resistor I built in. Giving 1 amp respectively.
