    Yes, it stings a little!

    The glowing purple streaks are plasma filaments. Tesla coils ionise air to produce streaks of plasma.

  • try point it at your eye that would be cool

  • my friend claims that laser guns in real life cant be like little bolts like we see in star wars they'd all be one straight beam from gun to target, is this correct?

  • @whatuwantmom

    What you see is not electricity its self, but is the effect of high frequency, high voltage electricity on the air and gas in the bulb.

  • @rmcybernetics WTF I THOUGHT THAT WAS ELECTRICITY??!! please explain i don't know shit about tesla coils but i could have sworn the purple streaks was electricity and a very high velocity.

  • @SleepyMongoose As rmcybernetics says, the tesla coil is ionizing surrounding air into plasma. The purplish filaments inside the light bulb are plasma. Incandescent light bulbs are usually filled with argon gas. The argon is ionized, producing a plasma filaments.

  • @Sc0ttPrian

    Umm, nope. 

  • touch it!
