aprox. 100 miliamps is lethal correct? So, this would only hurt very bad? Interesting.

Nice experiment, I'm getting myself one :p

@crusiatusblack; Actually 30ma across the heart can cause cardiac arrest.. Just be careful...

do u have a Tesla coil those things are bad ass

although the slat on the electrodes was pretty awsome

[gt4awd]

@gamma526; Check my videos. 9kv 30ma Tesla Coil - Portable Setup shows my latest coil in detail.

Captured the arcs really well, great video!

@havocdaemon; Thanks you...

@TheGeek1028; Thanks!

the best for 9KV

Why the music?? ruins the sound of the spark

[robthatguyx]

how hard would it be to make one of these go up about 6 foot ?

[TheWickedPanda]

Any tutorials?

@gt4awd

its neither the Amps nor the voltage that kills you, its the POWER (voltage x AMPS) that kills!

@NesteHukka2 try increasing the primary winding voltage. Obviously you've made sure the primary and secondaries are the right way... i had a little kit i got from Jaycar which uses a car coil to make a Jacobs Ladder... worked a treat.

If the arc would ascend with a high speed .. say a quarter of the light speed. could it fly a distance when it looses contact with the wires ?

[NesteHukka2]

I tried today make something like this, using car ignition coil. However, I don't know what is wrong as I cannot get even one spark with gap of 5mm. I just have tried manually "simulating breaker points". The coil is new.

Thumbs up if you know what this is from playing Mercury on the PSP

That drum sound is very annoying. Yes, I muted it.
