  • @thehelac.

    He probobly used a balast from a flourecsent bulb. Sorry dont know how to spell things like that

  • @Theonlyuj i havnt tried it with a ballast but if i would have used a ballast in this video, it would have killed me if i would have gotten shocked by it like i did at the end of the vid

  • how did you make this?

  • @ggjoe723 high voltage at a high frequency

  • hey, how much volts source must be? what did you used as source? tanks.

  • @TheHelac lots of volts but low current. 1-3000 volts but you can do it with 10000v. iv done it. dont remember the set up but i had a transistor and a transformer. iv done it with a flyback also

  • did you get electrucuted at the end?

  • @teC5 volts dont kill people, amps do.

see all

  • @jockyi Amps increase with volts proportionally.

  • People who work on chemical tanks use a tool called a "leak detector"; a super high voltage transformer that outputs up to 40,000 volts at less than a milliamp of current; it will turn a light bulb into a plasma ball too. It detects a leak in the lining of the tank that can get past your naked eye... when it comes accross a pinhole leak in the liner, it arcs to the metal wall of the tank. I think neon workers use them too, not sure for what though.

  • @jefsphone01 should review your electricity classes, there can be voltage without current.. on a light switch you will read 120V 0A when light is closed and 120V 1A(approximate) when it's on. Read wikipedia about it, i'm not a fucking teacher but I work in electricity and mechanics.

  • @PortalAnim You wouldn't even notice that, it kills so fast, hehe.

    A normally driver flyback transformer gives 15000 V and 0.005 A, which is not deadly by itself.

  • Amps are a measure of current. Current is a product of voltage. No voltage means no current. keep everything else equal and current will raise with voltage. So why do we say that these are high voltage low current. That is because of the transformer, it does not keep everything equal. It increases voltage withing the circuit at the expense of current. However, that is with that particular circuit. If you get your hands on that high voltage and complete a new circuit you are toast.

  • At least you didn't reacg the dielectric breakdown of the glass like I did. :( i-m using a ignition coil

  • cant aford a plasma ball eh?

  • @PortalAnim ...please...keep the bullshit from burying yourself.

  • @jockyi

    LOL...So does Faith Hope and Change....
