Spark Gap Air and Magnetic Quench

[@danieljust295]

Great experiment showing that plasma can react with the air. Another piece of puzzle leading to Electric Universe.

Excellent engineering of an experiment! thank you!

[@johnb003]

Yeah, it was surprising how well the air did actually, the air flow was much weaker than it looks here. I'll try some more powerful fans or even just a can of compressed air or something for the sake of experimenting. Your comment kind of inspired me to get my next video out sooner, because I show the capacitor discharges and unfortunately I could barely see an effect. Though ironically I have made a video in the past where I show how a magnetic quench on the cap spark made a huge difference.

When you used air, it changed the color from purple and violet (some ultraviolet?) to white. See if you can measure the spectrum or work out what chemical reactions are going on. Nitrogen, Oxygen. You are changing the chemical composition of the air in the spark region. Nice demo on the magnet, best I have seen. Keep up the great work, and when you can add $Thanks so people can support and encourage. You can shut off the voltage by shunting to bypass the gap. Look up the LRC circuit as a function of frequency. You should know your voltages, currents and frequencies. You can tune to resonance, and you can use circuits to produce impulses. Some of what you are doing goes back to the beginning of radio, which was spark gaps. But now you have high speed video and spectroscopy, infrared and ultraviolet cameras. Temperature sensors. Best of luck. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation

Never knew air pressure or variable wind has so much an effect on spark. Explains fuel consumption for off timing on combustion engines

[@naokikashima9349]

Awesome, have you tried running this experiment in an air right enclosure with your magnets still quenching the spark? You might be able to get magnetic gas in your enclosure! This magnetic gas can be used for variety of things including replicating Stan Meyers TPU (he used magnetic gas in closed off loop of tubing. He moved gas using a pump and had wire wrapped around the pipe). You should be able to get voltage in the wire around the tube loop. :P Thanx for sharing the vid.

Use a high pressure gal that will disrupt the discharge date very well in a vacuum it's like not having a gap at all

[@BrentHasty]

I would be interested in a variation of your spark gap experiments, if you would be willing. Rather than the magnetic field being tangential ( + ) to the spark gap I would be curious to observe the magnets effect of having the field centered and parallel ( = ) to the spark gap. Using a couple donut magnets over the electrodes on each side of the spark gap brought in from a distance to close to the spark gap in both opposing N N orientation and attractive N S orientation.

Great demo! Looks like air works better, at least in your current setup. Keep these demos coming, they are great! Because of you many other people that are studying Teslas work won't need to make the same mistakes :) Thanks

[@ryanb1874]

Bad ass man. If you don't use the magnet or air, is it actually an asynchronous discharge,

[@lespaul49]

Are you trying to produce a "unidirectional" impulse across the gap? I am working on that aspect at the moment.

[@NOBOX7]

thanks john

[@deeds3611]

great demonstration, thank you for sharing, this was really helpful.

[@KamilDomjan]

Really great presentation, just love to know what are the rods made of ?

[@johnb003]

Kamil Domjan I used aluminum because it's not ferromagnetic and I wanted to make a magnet sandwich with the spark gap ;)

[@KamilDomjan]

johnb003 Thanks mate, just added you to my followers and looking forward for more vid in this subject ;) kind regards

[@LaserGadgets]

@teknomage2012 Sounds interesting...did you try it out? Or did he?

[@johnb003]

The electrodes are aluminum, so I don't think they have much effect on the discharge. I think it's lorentz force causing the effect you see. I'm working on an electromagnet right now, so hopefully when I get time I can make a video showing more conclusively how the magnetic field effects the discharge without sliding stuff around.

[@thehornboy]

nice work but shouldn't the magnets blow the spark out?

[@CLUBKILLE]

Awesome video thank you sir

[@lespaul49]

I just noticed the color of the discharge was very white when you blew air across it......interesting.

[@BrentHasty]

Maybe even pass the spark gap through a strong spherical neodymium magnet and note the difference in the spark as the polar axis is rotated from parallel to tangential to the axis of the spark. I would paypal you $10 to see some good documentation and variation along this line posted on youtube. Brent Hasty

[@vitanunis]

your experiment proves we can make free energy with magnets and plasma

[@johnb003]

Magnets were used to affect the plasma. Electricity was used to make the plasma. I paid for the electricity.

[@vitanunis]

@@johnb003 when you put a spark in a ring magnet the spark start to rotate around. P= Ixrotatation speed. So if if you have a rotation of a spark you have a increase in power. See the experiment plasma vortex magnet, if you want. Regardes

[@JohnWilkinsonTesla]

1. Can you set up two 2. Can you make one North and one South 3. Can you make it so one fires when the other doesn't fire?

[@gabrielphilips6980]

Did you have success with radiant energy?

[@vitaliydrobina9394]

Thank you for the demo., very nice!

[@EclecticLensYT]

Great video! Thanks! I have a thought. I've really wanted to get one of those "plasma lighters" however my problem with them is with the size of the arch and that makes it difficult to light larger items like a cigar. In your opinion (or others) could I simply place a small powerful magnet (or magnets) on one side (or both sides) of the arch and fan it out like in your video? If this would be possible it seems like I might be able to enlarge the arch to work with a cigar?

[@ziba2660]

I remember see a video here on you where a guy took plasma glow ball place two opposed repulsion mangets easy increased the voltage inside the plasma ball maybe should use capcitor discharge spark gap aka tesla coil circuit let current in series or parallel into two solenoid tranformer electromagnet in between vacuum of type try neon bulb

[@mainevilleprepper4885]

It being quenched by the two magnets. Marconi and Fessendin had something like this.

[@stevenfox2172]

You need to focus on a high frequency Direct Current spark gap in nitrogen. Abandon everything else. Check out Duddell and the Singing Arc.

[@juanmf]

It'd be really interested to see the duration of the sparks in a scope. if it's in the order of nano seconds it's be a good options to mosfet switching.

[@johnbutterfield2635]

yeah me too, but HV is a really fast way to ruin a scope. ;)

[@juanmf]

@@johnbutterfield2635 yea, Master Ivo uses 4KV HV Pintek probes. I can't even find them online. phase zero, provisioning amateur lab.

[@tannersword1]

Lorentz force doesn't result from voltage, it's a result of charge movement through a magnetic field, so current.

[@blower05]

what is the current for spark? Actually, does the spark following Flemmings left hand rule or left rule because I am not sure the spark is electron flow or plasma flow?????? confusing! sorry!

[@blower05]

Can you tell us the magnet pole facing upwards?

[@supercritical5582]

interesting I'm not sure how you plan on compressing liquids though

[@johnb003]

Haha, yeah I did say that. Good catch. It's kind of embarrassing. What I meant though was liquids under pressure. Probably compressed air, in the same chamber as the liquid.

[@supercritical5582]

@@johnb003 haha. don't worry I have a KZbin channel as well and I've done exactly the same thing. You don't normally realise until you watch it back later after everybody has already seen it. lol

[@supercritical5582]

@@johnb003 If you go to KZbin studio and then go to content or videos and then go to edit you can trim bits out of your video after you uploaded them I've done it before. by the way I do lots of spark gap stuff tesla coils etc if you're interested in checking out some of my videos. I'm going to subscribe to your channel as well. keep experimenting.

[@ninukanjan9400]

try creating a spark through a tesla hairpin circuit (rly easy setup, no more than 1nF caps), then watch the behavior of the spark in the magnetic field ... prepare to be amazed !!!
