Great video! Try adding a wine bottle in the middle of the pan, fill it with salt water& a little dish soap. Let it overflow and get the outside of the bottle wet. Put one electrode above the bottle and one in the pan. ( for more glow, take apart a yellow highlighter, and put the fiber inside the wine bottle). A neon sign transformer is plenty of power. Thanks again.
3:37 - seems like ice cubes make electricity jump big distance? Would be interesting to see more experiments with more ice cubes or maybe even only ice cubes or maybe even snow.
I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to look at. Like, I know distilled water is a poor conductor, but I have no idea how it's supposed to be different from tap water (other than guessing it would probably boil faster), since I've never seen tap water blasted with electricity like in this video.
I don't think distiller water in plastic containers is very pure. Very pure distilled water will pull minerals or chemicals into itself... I think the plastic in those "distilled" water containers are leaching into the water and polluting it... that water even taste like plastic. If you were to get very pure distilled water, it should be a very good insulator, superior to air... so you should not get that arcing with very pure distilled water. But interesting experiment none the less!
@@ArcAngelTeslaCoil Sorry to correct a fella but the thing about deionized water being some sort of super-solvent that will "pull in" minerals more than fairly pure water does is a myth. Most things have some solubility even if it is miniscule, but miniscule contamination can affect the conductivity, so I think that might be where the myth comes from. Arcs produce contamination though, in this case acidic nitrogen oxides from the air and metal ions from the electrodes. Also, water does self-ionize even without contamination, so it always has some very slight conductivity which will lead to corrosion and contamination that make it even more conductive. This is why when water is used as an insulator it is always for high-speed pulsed applications since otherwise you loose power into that slight conduction/electrolysis and it would rapidly become contaminated from electrochemical corrosion of metals. Frequent pulsing requires frequent re-purification and some systems constantly cycle the water through a purifier. Oh and typically plastics are the best for preserving deionised water but it does depend which ones.
@@samwhite254 I've found this out and believe what you're saying is exactly right. Once the water becomes conductive, it stays conductive. Once I change the water with fresh distilled water the arc does not want to go directly to the water. It likes to travel on the surface, but doesn't take long before the water becomes conductive and after that the arc will continue to jump straight to the water unless I change it again. Plasma does create Nitrogen dioxide then when it mixes with water, it becomes nitric acid which is conductive. But I'm sure the electro materials getting involved also. 👍👍

@@aok4128 thank you and interesting may try that 👍⚡️⚡️

@@test-rj2vl yes would be neat👍👍
Distilled Water conducting electricity . Nice
@@hydniq3327 thank you😁👍
@@ArcAngelTeslaCoil if you have high voltage dc , you could try the water bridge .
@@hydniq3327 I do and should give that a shot in the near future 😁👍⚡️⚡️
What transformer are you using to get that voltage?
@@daemon.running very dangerous ones 🤣🤣

What is the gas flowing out of the electrode?
@@brianhutchinson7863 it's plasma which depends on the atmosphere but it forms quite a few different types not sure if this helps? Like nitrogen

@@imoutodaisuki distilled water just doesn't have minerals and contaminants. Tap water is more conductive and wouldn't be as interesting 🤣🤣👍
