  • It's is a transformer in the us near a golf court. The fault is proberly a short circuit internal in the transformer that causes the transformer to exploade. Typically the top of the transformer is deformed during high pressure caused by the short circuit. When the tank breaks open the oil/flashover will get in contact with air and the BOOOOOOOOOOM.

  • Thats alot of insulating oil.

  • Actually the transformator is in a vaccuum room (filled with oil) so there no air for the sparks to burn, but the sparks still generate heat and the heat generates pressure, the metal gets tired and the oil sprays out (0:14sec) and the spark gets oxygen and the oil 2 and there u go :D BOOM ^.^

  • hell yeah!!

  • where was this at by the way? i hear people screaming after it explodes.. and why was it exploding? i've only seen this stuff happen cause of storms
