- High voltage propagation from one electrode to another in more or less air pressure medium.
- The high voltage is generated with a plasma heart apparatus.
- Voltage at this high level (but low amperage) can penetrate very easily usually isolating materials.
- High temperature is generated also when the spark jumps from one medium to another

THIS machine's high voltage hurts only when the spark jumps to the finger, but it does not shock if you are holding firmly the conductor medium (cable for example).

DON'T TRY THIS WITH A CAR IGNITION COIL, THAT HAS MUCH MORE AMPERAGE TOO !!! (you'll be seriously shocked)

  • Very interesting vid! thanks for sharing :)

  • that is  cool.

  • that is  cool......

  • You can get the same effect by hooking up a Tesla coil to an incandescent light bulb. I've done it the way I describe, but a spark doesn't occur unless you put a finger on the glass envelope of the bulb.
