AC Lightning 30 sec

[dogyouare]

its fine look what top gear did. what year passat was that. i know the bumper does not fit b4

[669Banshee]

I always wanted Real Lighting bolts Down my Car ! pimp my Ride can't get paint jobs looking like this lol

[iStar20]

Car

[iStar20]

Poor

[julius16465964]

fake u can observe on the top on the lightning and cameras moving.. you can see the layer of the lightning not alight to the motion

[KGATyde]

@julius16465964 Its not fake. It was made at Darmstadt Tech University in Germany (License Place of the Car shows "TUD" for Technische Universität Darmstadt) in the High Voltage Hall S3/08.

[TheLostODST]

that cant be good for the paint:o

[westvil1]

now....touch it! i dare you.

[noksinerate]

so, uh..... i hear we're going back to the future?

[PeterCharlie]

How do you create this lightning?



[Serostern]

@PeterCharlie Check for Tesla Coil and The Geek Group.

[ubuntupokemoninc]

whats that about 700kv?

that would be one hell of a transformer

[JBofBrisbane]

@ubuntupokemoninc - a Tesla coil, I think.

[ubuntupokemoninc]

@JBofBrisbane this is to much current for a tc, tesla coils have extreemly high voltage but at really low current

[MartinIrma]

A Faraday cage test. If someone would sit in that car, he/she shouldn't notice any harm.

[tbsys31061]

nice antitheft system xD

[MandalayWind]

Rednecks drying paint.

[DjMadTrack]

Is it fixed now? xD

[spartin1337gmailcom]

Its Like 22nd century bumper cars

[shaunh88]

Ah thank you god for my custom pain job

[Spongierocks]

This would totally own the color spray nitrous, and the fire out of the exaust for shure!

Hahaha

Its like... mmmh... Master Yoda's car! =)

Or maybe he went to the dark side?? hahahhahaha

[JaysonSR]

Probably equally beautiful and dangerous. Electricity is awesome!

[awesomelightning]

This, I feel is supposed to be a demonstration of why lightning does not affect passengers in the car. It acts like a faraday cage. If you want any info about lightning, PM me.

[Psymon1488]

The "TUD" on the license plate stands for "Technische Universität Darmstadt". It was filmed at the "high-voltage-hall" S3/08.

They often try some interresting things.

[TechZune]

Must.......... Touch............

[sana472]

well that will fix your car lol

[mathewkiller5]

Two Cammels in a tiny car

Yeah thats right

I WENT THERE

Yes nice effect tho i give 1n a half of my ass to this Video

Anyone Agree with me

And also

FAKE AND HOMOSEXUAL

Just needed to point it out :)

[darkhelmet951]

the license plate said TUD

[Finalflash50]

howd u do that

[ubuntupokemoninc]

thats got to be at least 700kv!! :0

[maxwellSGE]

lol..adobe...it´s easier for me to generate real lightnings than to learn this shit like adobe

[cumesoftware]

@maxwellSGE It is real. The energy comes from a suspended wire.

[ilovepmara]

Good work with adobe after effects...

[Greathoof]

Even though I know it is safe inside a car (Farraday-cage), but I would shit my pants.

[Parasite2008]

gutes deutsches kraftfahrzeug

[mocasvaldo]

WV is immortal !!!!

[gnutelliums]

@mocasvaldo VW*

[trzcinarowice]

@mocasvaldo Same would happen to any car.

[yisyisni]

Lightning ROCKS!!

[VanillaShoelace]

you just used the entire years supply of electricity of whatever shit country this was filmed in.

[kingbleah]

insect remover over kill i think

[Bballguy1121]

@arthurpucket it would look exactly the same

[doctornox37]

That was a lot of juice!!! Looking for something that compares to Jacob's Ladder: Switch Opening, Lasted for a long time but if you want to see some true power check out The Ladder baby.

[Mugen123456789]

Can someone explain to me what i just watched?

[METROSEXUALITY1977]

@Mugen123456789 you mean this video or the one you sent me you taping sodomizing young lil boys?

[ESPZ]

Faraday Cage

[sprogdiklis]

what the voltage?

[Rangeldangeldodo]

Ohohoho Darmstadt

[TheDani68b]

wtf?

[judaskiller2004]

:D good way to charge your battery :D

[xmadsonx]

cool, can you make a tatoo with this?

[ViPrincipalVI]

its real that thing could happen

its like static electricity

[Kuuiby]

real

[Allaisverige1]

fake u can see same shapes two times

[coolaidkiller101]

how can their be a safe wire and a hot wire with ac both wirs r dangerous n'litnin is dc

[pikazemres]

lol, haha thats not real thats effects have created easy with "Adobe After effects CS3" you fucker facker -.-'

lol hahah thats not real guys she lie the motherfucker

das ist nicht echt !!!!!!!!!!!!! -.-''

[MrRedeyedJedi]

lightning is direct current minus the bullshit that guy just said about the polarity changing. poor paintwork lol..bet its fucked now

[Booger6995]

Yes. But it actually acts upon most materials as if it was RF. Go figure that one.

[bicnarok]

wow cool tesla tower

[LizzyAston]

why is the bolt shaped like that? surely the shortest path would be a straight one

[Dingomad30]

@LizzyAston I could be entirely wrong but I think it takes the path of least resistance not always the shortest?

[LizzyAston]

yeah... so why is that squiggly path least resistive? there are a fair amount of atoms, why skip a few million and make it squiggly?

[Booger6995]

If air was solid it might work like that. It however is a gas and the atoms are in constant motion. When the arc passes thru a given section local heating occurs and the air moves around changing the path of conduction. That's the best explanation that I can provide without writing a whole book. The path of least resistance is a correct explanation.

[LizzyAston]

thanks for that man, i get it now :D like the sound created by a lightning bolt (by the expansion of air)

thanks

[0teh0killah]

Because when electricity runs through air, it ionizes the air molecules, dropping their resistivity greatly. Convection currents then move these molecules around. So the current still is taking the path of least resistance.

[pchapman905]

@LizzyAston It's because of air movements. The arc heats up the air tremendously and makes it rise. That's why the arc sometimes loops up above the wire. In a vacuum it would travel in a straight line (but be invisible).

[LizzyAston]

@pchapman905 thanks a lot man. but would it be able to travel through a vacuum? there's nothing for the electrons to use?

[pchapman905]

@LizzyAston No prob :)  Electrons can travel through a vacuum because there's nothing to stop them. That's how the old CRT monitors and televisions worked.

[roberrt0784]

He z tyłu był Reyden:)

[l28power]

Its DC - Direct current, though the discharge changed the clouds polarity

[1DanielChristensen]

padidol

[HyTechRedNeck007]

so by free energy, he means it runs the car for how many miles?

[SebHyb]

when they look at the top of car the lightning has typed NO PARKING IDIOTS!!!

[SirVetje]

@SebHyb

Haha, i bet it had :P

[voon100]

Hahaha that surely will knacker the paint work.

[crazyDOORcom]

interesting.........

[mastodonowns69]

yeah my truck got struck by lightening while i was in it. turns out it's not as safe as everyone says. I had a small seizure.

[catchy1986]

@mastodonowns69 well its better than having a big seizure!

[riotpack]

Its safe to say the potential of the car during the "lightning" is the breakdown voltage of the insulator which in this case would be either the tires or the lowest point of the car to ground. Professor Ronald Mcfukka Bsc Dke Rna

[Grundalizer]

lmao

[sk8erearl22]

what exactly is going on here?

[MrrALLex]

FAKE

[SamusV4]

Make sure you stay well out of range of that! XD

[mikerepmo]

custom paint by God

[OmegaGamer04]

@mikerepmo Nah this painjob is done by tesla

[OmegaGamer04]

@OmegaGamer04 paintjob*

[mojo8880000]

isn't it destroying the car??

[darthroden]

No the car is insulated because its on rubber tires. Supposedly if a moving car gets struck by lighting as long as the vulcanized rubber has contact to the ground then the vehicle (and the driver and passengers) should be okay other than a little ozone smell and maybe some static.

Of course, I wouldn't have wanted to sit in that car to test it, but the car seems to be okay.

[brekfsklub]

NO.... look up Faraday Cage

[duskglow]

Rubber tires are no protection. The protection is because the car is made of metal and redirects the current around anyone inside it and safely to ground.

Lightning has made it through several miles of highly insulated air, an inch of rubber isn't going to stop it.

[125035649721]

una pregunta, el rayo modifica la superficie?

[archmagi14794]

That was dangerous. Camera = metal.

[indulgethebeast]

there's nothing stopping the camera man from being the next path of least resistance, electricity is not something to be taken lightly no matter how small it may seem

[michaelgarv]

podrian hacerlo kon mi novia adentro jaja no se crean

[OnnomonnomonnO]

I guess 800 - 1000 kV

[calelandess]

way way more than that, 50kv+

[xox945]

that' ll wax out..

[nvmarcus]

That would make a great anti-theft device for my car.

[caletcalet]

@nvmarcus that´s what i thought before reading your comment, funny

[thewestsyde1]

@nvmarcus lol touch and u get zapped bitch

[RTSmaster787]

@nvmarcus Are theifs stealing your cars, or the things inside them? Thne you need the Zapper!

[zazooscm]

@nvmarcus yeah lol! with a sign next to your car saying "i dare you.. go on.. try it!"

[curt2988]

i want to see the roof now..

[jasonlittlejohn89]

This stuff is not a fun past time or to be taken lightly - I once opened up a 230 KV pole top under 250 MW of load one time - It was like 20 feet in the air over me and I could feel a major tingle everywhere - needless to say I ran like hell before stuff started falling down - those protective suits work great against the flash.

[KrazyHorse805]

I bet you that does wonders to the paint...

[dnRoystonDotCom]

hmm. If you imagine controlling the strike to a specific location on the roof/hood, you could make some pretty cool designs.

[BlindedByEvil]

haha

[sallyjedi]

great Scott, my car! XD

[ituzzip]

Damn what would your electric bill be after a thing like that?

[d3dreaper]

I dont understand why everyone thinks it's fake..... That's pretty cool how did you manage to do it? and to to brosbdm yup it's 50hz they're in europe it looks like..... if it was th us it'd be 60hz

[TheVanderhore]

Did he die?

[brosbdm]

that sounds like 50hz

[diokhan999]

it's real.

[badfender223]

Are you guys on 50 cycle? The frequency is lower than in the U.S.

[mrnobody1994]

Yeah, I think it was filmed in Europe.

We have 230V@50Hz

[elkjip]

yeah it is filmed in europe, at least the guys in the beginning is speaking german

[JumpcoreHBS]

hammer geil

[snaffus]

I'd bet they shat bricks.

[towelpharoe]

I can only imagine what that did to the paint job!

[MadsKaizer]

The damage to the paint is very faint or non-existent.

The arc moves quickly and strikes many times a second, so the overall heating effect at a single point is not long enough to cause damage.

[Berni220]

touch the arc and you'll get my attention

[SeldomShroom]

stupid lol

I triple dog dare you to touch it.

[belgiumboy3]

talking about car effects :p LOL

[shadowray95]

holy shit o.o i think that lasted more then 30 seconds

[CaptMARNEY]

That's what I call a powerwash XD

[baswijkstra]

fakE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stranac1]

dumb ass idiot

[elirusso18]

i see a good prank in the making >:)

[bravo1r]

Its AC, thats why theres a very loud 60hz buzz.

If it were DC it would be much quieter, with only a crackling noise, even so it would be extreamly difficult to get DC with a voltage that high.

[YKPAIHA82]

This is some Terminator SHIT!!!

[sistag61]

how the freak did they do that..does lightning last that long

[0wardjp]

Why do people suggest its fake? Ive seen things like that happen 1st hand but on a smaller scale, why wouldn't a bigger one work?

Also the camera automatically changes brightness with the lightning flashes meaning its gotta be giving off real light

[bok255]

I don't know why people think this stuff is fake. It's just electricity. Why would someone wanna fake it, what would be the point?

[ATeamFan007]

that looks like regular DC Lightning, highly doubt there is AC lightning, because it would have to alternate, Jacob's ladder is the form of electricity takes when its high voltage and travels through air, search 500 KV Switch opening

[icuicu2006]

You obviously have never been to the Munich Science Museum or spent time with large power transformers. I'll tell you that this is very real and very dangerous. I've seen it first hand...

[emilskydsgaard]

fake, nothing more, nothing less

[benwaddelling]

Jacob's Ladder.

Look it up Dickwad.

[thisismikeyy]

wuts a jacob ladder?

[greatmarioslayer]

its probably fake =[

[LordOfPandemia]

wow

if nothing else that looks and sounds beautiful; it's an amv worth keeping for animation reference.

[buyrultu]

yalanınızı sikiyim. i mean gently, you sweet liar ah ah

[TPDR08]

do you know how fast i would have the insurance company on the phone!

[rommelbhargava]

fake

[brobert666]

dumass

[rumproast2000]

I believe the only fake here is... YOU, rommelbhargava! Jackass...

[pm1kyla]

I agree with romelbhargava

even, I think its fake..

as if camera-man knew whn the jolt will start and end. :)

ok not fake just made up!!! just for the sake of it :\

[mcmarga]

the nightning is made from a switch thing....so he knew wern somebody would turn it on... its real trust me search "swich openning" vids none are "made up"

[rayflute]

Shocking! Hehe!

[josephayal]

and now that car have special powers! like kit

[demonsparkx]

lmfao! good 1,btw this real? looks like it is sum sort of testing due to a grounding factor of the car and electricity

[Cssna]

adobe after effects lol! fake everyone fake!

[poparozi]

and then Arnold was supposed to appear stooped down naked.....

[martiallaw09]

What would happen if the car wasn't there?

[BackyardSkunkworks]

It would just arc to the ground.

[Kamenos4ever]

fake

[trilogy11]

I bet the electric bill was high lol

[flipskater032]

what comes the electric sound from?any experts?

[fantic238]

The sparkling sound is generated by air pressure waves originated from the heating produced by ionization of the air when the spark goes through it, the buzzing noise in low frequency is due to the electrical field inverting polarity more than 100 times a second in alternative currents, this influences also the ionization phenomena.

[flipskater032]

okey, 100 words i didnt understand but im gonna search for the words on the internett, great help! thanks ;)

[fantic238]

In simple words the electricity "fries" the air it passes through and this makes the sound, the buzzing noise is the "vibration" of the current...(Nikola Tesla, forgive me!)

[postanima]

"Nikola Tesla, forgive me!)" LOOOOOL

[BenZeneProject]

I always wondered why electricity follows the path of least resistance, but never travels in a straight line through air.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Air is not a pure media. It contains water vapour droplets particate matter etc. Air moves and flows and ionise air particles are high in energy so they move rapidly once the high voltages pass through them. The arc is following the path of least resistance and in doing so it is changing that path every fraction of a millisecond that is why it never appears to follow a straight path.

[BenZeneProject]

cool.

[brenyboy26]

that makes good sense, very good XD

[urfahatbakim]

güzel video

[cauberallies]

"Made with lightning! REAL LIGHTNING!"

[henrique407]

repet video

[stang661]

I need to get up to 88mph and get that 42 seconds of my life back.

[FireBirdsGo]

lol!

[Blacksheep2007]

thats fake!

[2DM]

1.21 gigawatts?!?!?!?!

[jeffhardyROXBITCH]

thats was ....electrifying

[timfuge]

wow, that sure beats neons!

[Geistertramper]

for me ...its magic!crazy wonder we live in
