this is a 40 watt light bulb connected to an ignition coil to give some rather cool plasma effects

  • wow real plasma. ( dont tuch it hurts i did it jear ago and ouch!)

  • @patrickdismoi I've had my share of shocks :p touched the business end of a TY fly back transformer once, that hurt, it's certainly adequately named

  • OMG this is sooo gonna blow in your face some day

  • @ladev1988 Not likely I done that 2 years ago and still haven't had an accident and this thing doesn't really have anything that could particularly explode violently.

  • @niwakun444 don't know I kinda have the feeling that it may get to hot and if it is pressurized it can explode in your face

  • @ladev1988 Well light bulbs like that are not pressurised they are in fact at a very low pressure and although the voltage it very high the current is extremely low so isn't going to get hot any time soon.

  • I like how this happened on a wooden floor next to a bunch of other electrical wires. But it was awesome lol.

  • rofl its an ignition coil... you wont die. sure some coils such as those found in the old gm hei systems could produce about 30 Kv open circuit but the amperage is so low you can grab one of the plug wire ends and you'll feel it but you aint gonna die, current is too low, with enough math you could find the current easily...

  • i use this on my slaves when they dont pick enough cotton

  • Wicked video mate nice one. I see ya havnt submitted any for years ... get some more on here lol

  • One day I'm going to muck about with an ignition coil and see what I can do with it. I've done this with a flyback transformer from a TV, and the arcs in the bulb were purple, and even the glass glows. I used a DC flyback with a bad internal diode, I didn't realize at the time that an AC flyback had to be used or the diode was bad, so I couldn't figure out why it only worked with this flyback, but not with any of the others I had, course now I know different.

  • Damn does that get loud.

  • lmao. i was just waiting for it to blow up, sayin..."oh shit...oh shit.."

  • It's our only defense from the alien invaders
