Swoopyswoop 0 #26 January 1, 2004 No I think you misunderstood what I said, I didnt understand that the 120 you were talking about was ct scan. But thats a whole different ball game. Thats more like mickey mouse stuff, not really the same as uhv or transmission. But a cool job none the less. I will see if I can find my video of a bare hand I did about a year ago in oregon on a 768kv line in a hot suit. Some pretty impressive whips and fire on that one.

champu 1 #28 January 2, 2004 if you'd like to get an understanding of what's going on here (and have fun at someone else's expense) convince a friend to partake in this fun little exersize involving an inductor and a 9 volt battery... /edited to add: and now pretend you're using a 500KV battery...

sheldond 0 #29 January 2, 2004 I personally have been bonded on to a Transmission Power Line which was 138,000 volts. Trust me, the video is real and accurate. I formally was an editor for our power company editing training videos. 5 videos I made were related directly with High Voltage Transmission lines. The next voltage up from 138kV is 230kV. Just my 2 cents worth. Edited...typos... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glipazide 0 #30 January 2, 2004 QuoteAre you guys serious? You really can't believe that video, can you? First of all, it doesn't even look real. Also, there's no reason for the current to go so far out of its way. Once the air is ionized, it should go more or less in a straight line, not off in a giant "n" shape. I'm not an expert, but I work for a living with 120,000 volts. BTW, it is a cool video anyway. North Electricity will conduct through an air gap. Even when you flip a light switch in your house theres a brief spark inside during the moment when the contacts are not touching but close enough to arc. Electicity want to contunie the circuit whenever possible. The reason the arc moves away like that is because the initial arc creates a path of ionized air molecules. This path of ionized air conducts electricy much better than regular air, and once the switch contacts are far enough apart the only way that electricity can continue to flow is across the ionized trail. But the trail is blowing away in the breeze. The arc follows the contortions of the trail until it breaks up. Clinthttp://sexygirlabs.com/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
