I have been facinated by some of the videos available on Google’s video service. Here is one that I was quite… shocked by? Anyway it is fairly impressive, check it out.

On 14 inch laboratory van de graff electrostatic generators, a spark of 500,000 volts would be about 8 inches long and barely tickle. This Momma must have had eleventytwo gazillion amps along with the 500kvolt potential. Thus, the spark could always heat air enough to make a suitable conductive path through its own heated air. Nice!
