Electric arc on a sand

Nice meth lab

[eeretz]

NICE! but take care of all the ozone produced, keep place well vented!

Really cool to watch.

[NatashaFatale59]

It produces a flaming lightning bolt :)

[pyrosparkerII]

yer makin lava :)

[zker666]

ooh glass!

[Asylumescapee69]

I wonder if you could make glass things with fine sand and a large gap between the ground buried in the container... Or maybe if you used a metal drum and insulated the top, but then touched the middle of the fine sand, it might make a crazy glass web... but that might actually take a much higher voltage...

@Asylumescapee69 This has been done before, "artificial fungurites"... You don't need that high voltage, just bring the electrodes close together and draw the arc through the sand.

[lJohnnyTheFoxl]

I am going to do this.

mini lightning

[blower05]

The sound suggested you used also hi-frequency power suppy. Am I right? What is the frequency used?

[jmartis2]

no this is Mains frequency 50Hz.

[angelwingzx]

omg that looks so fun >___> i bet i would be doing that instead of facebook xD.

first i need a high voltage supply though >___>

[mbotv10]

cool arc

[jovicakluk]

lol why would you be weird everyone loves arcs

[holycrapapie]

first of all, your yideos are the best.

Second, where do you get your power supply?

(i kinda have to know)

[jmartis2]

Thanks! at least I know i'm not the only weird one :)

Power supply? It is the wall socket (230V) and if you mean the hv supply they are some ballasted mots, around 1600VA

[holycrapapie]

ok, thanx man

[MacsCanfly]

so you just cut a wire off an electric tool striped the other end and plugged it in?
