  • Very entertaining! But a not unexpected result… if you want to mess up your living room, you need to set up the coconut to create intermittent interference… heating up the fluid inside… did the coconut get hot at all? Did you notice any change in temperature? In my limited understanding of the world, it wouldn't matter if you ran 500,000 volts through the coconut as long as the circuit was cleanly connected… increased amperage would blow the coconut to bits though.

  • @TheUghman -the fluid inside conducts electricity quite well, so that little 5 amp fuse will always be the first thing to go. After that, I would expect the house circuit breaker to trip. There wasn't any internal heating at all. Best way to blow that guy apart would be to use a large, high power capacitor. Thanks for watching!

  • LOL the dog says I know theres damn coconut milk inside there somewhere...let me at it. Haha.

    Question for you it appears you were using good high voltage wire for your wire leads. What kind of wire was it? It almost looked like it may have been spark plug wire, and if so how did you connect it to the neon tranny, and those inner leads are often graphite material and difficult to work with. I know you can buy solid core leads for atv's snowmobiles ect but thier getting rare.

  • @IcechickenSr - No, that was just cheap copper cable I bought at Home Depot. I think I paid around 50 cents per foot for it. Thanks for watching.
