No, not really ball lightning... pulsed plasma test with graphite. The vapourised graphite burns with a yellow flame for a few tens of milliseconds after the pulse.

  • Well, this isn't close to the results from the Brazil lab, just saying...

    As welders have said they are used to this kind of stuff, but very long lasting, bouncing lights becomes something else.

  • I guess it's called "railgun"

  • Well, the sparks coming off could be a remnant of ball lightning created by the overactive energy left behind after the explosion was depleted. Just a thought, because the sparks acted with similar characteristics as ball lightning. If you have something important to say about my comment please use the reply or I will not remember this.

  • I like your experimentation with this. I attempted something similar several years back. I have attached a video response for you to check out.

  • This one could definitely melt people
