Creating an Arc with 9volt batteries

As a kid of maybe 7 or 8 years old, I always wanted to create an Arc and experiment with it. Now all these years later, I can finally say that I've succeeded. Using no less than thirteen 9volt batteries, I create an Arc of about 3 to 4 millimeters between two carbon brushes I got out of an electric motor I had.

The Arc is hot enough to melt copper and therefore will melt two pieces of copper wire together if you try to make an Arc using wire, and you will only be able to get less than one millimeter of Arc length. On the other hand, using carbon prevents the melting together of contact points, and the carbon itself allows for a much longer Arc to be created. I speculate that millions of carbon atoms are breaking off the carbon chuck and becoming air born, and facilitating electron flow through the air. This is why a longer Arc can be drawn. Its hard to see but there is a sphere shaped ball of gases that form exactly between the two points where the arc are contacting the carbon pieces.

I posted the video I took of the 20 batteries as a response. Semper.

I put 20 of them together in series. I plan to make 4 more like that and connect them in parallel. for a total of 100 batteries. Va= 180V, It= 900 mA

If you want an arc, you can use a flyback with a flyback driver.start out with a singe transistor driver and get to know HV, if you have some electronics experience step up to a 555 driver wich can give some quite nice arcs (see my channel) and the when you think you're ready step up to a ZVS. I also always wanted to make an arc, ESP a Jacobs ladder sine I was like 6. Now i am 16 and i have it! Just do some Googling for schematics. Have fun!

@jasonmushersee Dan Burisch is another one of those who claim to have worked at Area 51... If you really worked for the Gov, & then broke ranks, exposing Gov secrets....well, you'd be in jail. It would be treason. Anything he says could only therefore be what they want him to say...it'd be disinformation in other words. Plasma Lev. is plausible though. Check JOHNROMANIWASZKO's channel for a bunch of reproducible Levitation experiments...really cool stuff, some based on Tesla & T.T. Brown tech.

@frankensteinmoneymac There's something about sandstone, it resonates/amplifies frequency like sonic levitation. Dan Burisch talked about it and is trying to recreate this plasma effect in his lab with high powered lazers applied to silicate. I've actually seen ball lightning once and it's thought that when lightning hits sandstone the plasma ignites the silicate like 'fuel' to sustain the ball lightning for up to 10 minuets. Hammel, Corso,Tesla & many others talked about plasma for levitaion.

@jasonmushersee Ball lightening by burning sandstone? Egyptians levitating stones using it? Do you have a link to share...I'm intrigued .....(though a tiny bit skeptical)

Nice. Can you show us your circuit.

[jasonmushersee]

Be careful. One time i was mig welding for an hour without a helmet, all the skin on my face blistered & fell off. Ever try to create ball lightning by burning sandstone? Supposidly that's how the Egyptians levitated those massive stones. Nice vid.
