Catching Lightning From 1,000,000v Tesla Coil! (Ft. ArcAttack)
Ғылым және технология
It's a dream many of us have had - controlling lightning with just our hands. Millions of volts at your fingertips. Only, it doesn't have to be a dream. A giant Tesla Coil can make it a reality. This was an unplanned collaboration with Arc Attack (Joe and John Diprima), and was an incredible experience. Social distancing was observed.

ArcAttack, thanks so much. I have a few people asking about the current flowing in your coil's ground strikes. Do you have any rough figures for this? I'd imagine it's impressive.
@arcattackmusic

@@PlasmaChannel A few ways to look at that really. The instantaneous discharge from the topload capacitance through the spark can be 100s of amps upon inital contact with the ground plane. Our output inductor breakout points limit that to 10s of amps. The average secondary current can be in the milliamp range for smaller coils, or upward of a few amps for coils this size and larger.

The first time I saw arcs like that was when I finished building my big drsstc. I invited some friends over and cranked it up. It was one of the most amazing and surreal experiences for me(and probably my friends too). I wish I could have seen the looks on all our faces, but I was too focused on the arcs!

There’s an even bigger Tesla coil in Bellingham Washington that you can go in a cage and have the lightning touch and thus be up close to it, you can also watch from 25 feet away, it’s really cool, highly recommend.
i have a suggestion actually, you should do a video on the QCW type tesla coils, they have very different arcs than the other types and personally they're one of my favorites.
What about building a vacuum tube tesla coil? Those things are SICK! Also, a discord server to connect the community would be fun! Another great video. Keep it up!

Ive done similar experiments before depending on the current flow through the plasma the glove will heat up and the color of the arc will change as metal is vaporized so the amount of current flowing through in this setup may have been lower than a hundred milliamps so maybe a slight heating effect but not anything uncomfortable and he may have felt his hair stand up as the air around him became charged

This feels like a Hitman mission
The Tesla coil I made for my 6th grade science fair project was a bit smaller. But I could walk up to it and roll my bare knuckles to the arc and the 12” long spark would hit them feeling like little pins touching my knuckles. That was in 1965. Fun stuff, and the smell of ozone was refreshing! 😉
Be cool if had a way to conduct it over to a 2nd glove with a wire so sparks could pass though emit from the other hand to ground.
Well done dude Keep it up bro!!
what is the resonance frequency secondery coil ? Do you experiment by changing the frequency like tesla ?

When I was ten years old, my dad had us stay at a cabin in the Big Bear Mountains here in California. A friend of my dad that he worked with would allow my dad to use his cabin from time to time, so my dad could give us, his kids, a good time in the mountains for a week now and then. I only have one brother and my brother was else where that morning when I walked out of the front door of the cabin we were staying in. My dad was indoors in the cabin when this happened. I walked down the walkway to the cabin, only to stop once, to see the lightening hitting Big Bear Lake, not too far away from where I was standing. The clouds were hanging low over me too as I look back on that morning and it was about 10 o'clock in the morning I recall. As I got near the road, there was a large power line hanging just above my head, about 20 feet above me. Suddenly, I was surrounded by light, while hearing this sharp snapping sound over my head. I even saw the bolt, as it came out of the sky, heading toward me when it happened. That was quite a sight to see. This is real I want you to know and I'm now 64 years of age as I look back on the experience. What surprised me was the sound the lightening made, as it hit the power line, getting absorbed into the power system and that was the very loud snapping sound it made, as though someone were snapping a huge whip over my head. When the light cleared, I found my body had instinctively made my legs collapse, so I was close to the ground, trying to protect myself. It happened fast too when it all happened. All of this was instinctive, as a response too. I didn't start to process what had happened to me, until I stood up and looked up at the power line, realizing what had happened. So, if you think there are people who have not been underneath a bolt of lightening to hear its horrifying sound, I'm one who had the experience. Now a days, when I see lightening in the sky, when a storm goes by, I remember that moment in time, when the lightening hit the power line over my head, making that huge snapping sound.

Very high voltage, hardly any amperage, otherwise you would have a much larger ground wire on that glove. Dont get me wrong, this is absolutely cool!! I am an electrician, not an engineer, and am fascinated by electricity. Would love to learn more about this.

All pose a very big risk to health when the powers are ramped up.

100khz perhaps? Well, we are not supposed to be able to feel an electric shock from that. I can imagine contact burns, which at that power could be pretty bad. Still not life-threatening though right? So you mentioned the grounding stopping it from going through your body. Could you tell me what damage specifically it would cause? Also, could you estimate the amount of current going through your body without the grounding? Thanks, Alan.
Fantastic !!!
