500 kV AC Lightning 30 sec (1)

[askjerry]

That will buff out...

Volkswagen  SUPER BEST CAR

[AAAAAE1982]

stunned

[GrinDosso]

Oh thats how they make vinils? :D

[WSmith193]

Its a Fake !

[wjatek997]

"Naładował się ten akumulator w końcu?!" ;D

1.21 jiggawatts

[swtf80]

@gnccracer16 1.21 niggawatts

[powermaks]

@swtf80 1.25 terawatts

[timmay821]

@powermaks

not 1.21 gogowatts?

[powermaks]

@timmay821 (1.21 GIGA) no... 1000X more than that!

[sk8ratz100]

those are some awesome lighting pinstripes

[meme5053]

Don't cross the beams!

[BooglesMcGee]

That poor mkIII Jetta

[jookur]

Chuck Norris is just charging his electric car.

[XKP69X]

mom told you not to put the car in the microwave

[authmaax]

why is always a Volkswagen suffering this tests? lol

[dranzerbeyblader]

pikachooooooooooooooooooooo

[codefault]

Where is my roasted chicken??????

[Cod4Paradox]

I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!

[GMELECTRONICS365]

If a lightning struck your car this is not likely since the rubber tires prevent from going to ground.

[salerio61]

@GMELECTRONICS365 nonsense

[VECommodore]

THAT FUCKERS GOIN BACK TO THE FUTURE!

[teshno]

car charging

[neurocache]

My dad's Tahoe got stuck by lightning on the Orlando Turnpike with me in it. I was half sleeping and almost crapped my pants. All the relays got melted closed, the seats started moving forward, seat warmers would not turn off, etc...8K in damage.

[chulk607]

I was expecting a naked dude to appear in a crouching position on the roof of the car.

[79Yamato]

@chulk607

Don't worry, he'll be back.

[sz42781]

@chulk607 I was expecting a naked dude to appear in a crouching position on the roof of the car. asking what day is it, what time what year?

[teepisutt]

There's also "lightning Effect" in Adobe Premiere. - -a

[dustyatticx]

Who you gonna call?

Ghost Busters!

[dzodzer]

That low hum, must be a few amps there for sure.

[albertjani]

how many A ? 0.0001?

[noneofyourbusiness06]

Its not a Tesla coil. Judging by the fire on the sparks, it has enough current to easily kill you.

[DrEMplushrest]

@noneofyourbusiness06 I agree. Also, you can hear the 50/60Hz tone whereas a Tesla coil outputs high frequency AC. This must be at a high voltage test lab.

[fuhQ6969]

judging by the thickness of the arc (.5-1" maybe?) probably around .5-2.0A.

[str8erthanu]

how come there be so many experts in lightening here=?

[CDeus]

@str8erthanu

You don't have to be a "lightning" expert as you say. A lecture at a vocational school is enough for anyone to argue with wisdom.

Or, you can be geek and learn it on the internet. There's lots of stuff talking about Tesla coils lightnings transformers and stuff. xD

cheers ;)

[str8erthanu]

lol, i suppose. I never were intrested in elektrophysical classes.

Hörs and good luck (with whatever you do ;) )

[OnnomonnomonnO]

nice thief safety :D

[DimaDevais]

Понастроили калин...

[Bladerus2]

классная тачка :)

[DJROS1]

That's false beacause the car isn't grounded...

[weeardguy]

If you see an arc jumping a gap like that it sure isn't false... it's the same some people think about being safe in a car when lightning strikes: 'it's because the car has rubber tires' NO! it's not because the car has rubber tires. it acts as a faraday cage, and if lightning (or electricity, in this case) can strike the distance from cloud to ground, that few millimeters of rubber from car tires sure won't stop it!

[DJROS1]

As the tires' rubber is an impedence in parallel with the air, and this last has a minor resistance, the arc's current must pass through the air: I don't notice this in the clip (maybe because it's covered).

I don't doubt of the safety of the car during a lighting-storm (Faraday's cage); the matter is the route of the current towards ground.

[weeardguy]

It could be that the car is grounded via a cable or something. It could also be that the arc is escaping to ground at the back of the car, which we can't see.

[sk8er4ever0101]

lol what do you know about electricity mr pro?

[weeardguy]

@ sk8er4ever0101: enough to know that this isn't false, and that rubber tires won't stop lightning :P

[sk8er4ever0101]

oh, well i know that too. i thought you were saying this is bullshit.

[BlenderFreak777]

@weeardguy it doesnt always protect you, especially from the noise! I had to work on a car that got struck by lightning, the electrical system was all messed up, and there was a hole in the tire, it was weird, the hole was like there but it wasnt at the same time, i couldnt fix it. it must have melted a hole??? well the lady went deaf in that ear, the one closest to the strike...

[Wodkabruder]

do you think the tire rubber impedance is a problem for 500kV?

Man look at the arc lenght.

[mradical]

LOL this is not 500kV ! what a 500kV line will be doing under this roof ! its somekind of Tesla coil games

[charlou3]

The roof must be really sweet after that.

[nero486]

this is Plasma

[HappyHippo4u]

that is not 500kV thats approximately 1,2MV.

[jmartis2]

Why do you think so? 500kV AC can jump approx. 1.5 meters
