Electrical engineer here: 15:15 the reason why an electric arc forms in the first place is because of the magnitude of the electric field at that point. The reason why u only see plasma streamers when the fluid flow breaks apart into little bits is because now the charge density on that conductor is huge. You have a lot of high energy oscillating charges on such a small surface area that equates to a very high, concentrated, electric field. Water doesn't seem like a bad idea 😂 but if ur looking to make those Tesla coil guns as shown in the beginning (QCWDRSSTC) you want to created a "ramped full bridge inverter" to the primary coil of ur Tesla Coil. Basically there's some weird effect that allows a streamer of plasma to keep growing while the bus voltage of ur Tesla Coil power circuit is changing.

You can see in the beginning when he first fires it, it's shooting arcs, but the second the stream hits the ground the arcs stop. And at the end when the stream is breaking up, the arcs start jumping from the main stream between the droplets. I think all that's happening here is that the big, laminar, conductive stream of liquid is essentially acting like a huge low resistance wire which provides a direct path to ground.

Many years ago, an US Navy naval research lab, built a lightning weapon that could travel in a straight line. The trick consisted of shooting first a high power UV light, subsequently ionizing a cylindrical portion of the air, facilitating a low impedance path for the electrical discharge. There is no need to say that thing was terribly impractical.

@absalomdraconis Ай бұрын

Yep. Also, for a "good" system you actually want _two_ paths of opposing polarity, so that the circuit gets completed without requiring a shared grounding point. A Tesla coil could be modified to provide the polarities, but it wouldn't really be a Tesla coil anymore (because you'd have to cut the shared circuit node of the two coils).

@kevbu4 29 күн бұрын

@@absalomdraconis I think an argument could be made that you would want ground to be the return path. If anything I would think that having both paths side by side would increase the likelihood of them drawing into each other and shorting. Plus, while projecting both paths would have an effect more like a taser, and potentially offer less full circuit resistance, the burn path through the target would be a lot smaller. It might depend on what the target is. For instance, if the target is an aircraft then a common earth ground would be less viable, unless you could charge it up enough that the flying object becomes a lightning bolt. . .

@jadenbruscato3973 Ай бұрын

I'm but a humble engineering student but I have a pretty good theory about goo conduction. In laminar flow, the goo conducts the electrons all the way to the ground, where it basically acts as a ground wire. When the stream breaks up, air gets between the goo bits and creates a huge amount of resistance. Then the electrons see relatively the same amount of effort going outwards as to the ground, so they just arc into the air again causing lightshow.

Argon, similar to helium, was an incredibly elusive element for a very long time, only really occurring in the spectra of space objects for the first century we observed it. At this time their existence was controversial, and Mendeleev's periodic table of elements didn't even have a group where they were expected to fit... Because of paired-electron spin mechanics, these "noble" elements as we call them are deceptively mundane and non-reactive since they have fully paired electrons in their outermost orbital.

So, in regards to Ghostbusters, in-universe, that's a stream of highly positively charged particles being funnelled out of a particle accelerator. The idea is that the positively charged "Proton Stream" gets entangled with the negative particles of ghosts. Then an energy sink, called a Ghost Trap, sucks in the weakened negative energy, trapping the ghost. There's another piece of equipment relevant to this video called a Slime Blower, which ejects positively charged ectoplasm that counteracts any negative energy, including negative emotions. Most of the tech in those films relies on the theoretical idea of miniature Cyclotrons, ghosts having unique energy fields, and the ability to make a somewhat controlled beam of Protons and/or Neutrons. Your successful build at the end, I'd say fits quite well as an early prototype!!

@hovesssharedspace8490 Ай бұрын

@Furiends Ай бұрын

"all the electricity is just going straight into the ground" It's not actually shorting like a "grounded circuit" would in a protective ground. Instead the current is going up causing less energy to be in the resonator which lowers the voltage. So less energy is exiting the coil itself so never makes it into the ground. If that were the case the coil would have melted. The way I like to think of it the coil is like a tuning fork and a high resistance is like tapping it with a feather and a low resistance is like pushing on it with your finger. The sound is the energy output.

About the lack of arcs coming from the laminar flow, here’s my two cents: I would guess that it’s similar to the effect where arcs tend to jump from sharp points due to the charges concentrating at those points. A turbulent stream of conductive liquid would be “lumpier” so to speak than a laminar one, and would provide more locations for the charges to jump off from.

Lasers can create a long path of ionized particles in the atmosphere that lightning is more encouraged to then closely follow. There is a WIP defense system for coastal/mountainous cities that experience a ton of storms, using lasers that aim at highly polarized sections of clouds(using the same system that's used to navigate planes in storm clouds, maybe their own x-ray cams or satellite data, idk the info source might vary) to redirect the lightning to a lightning rod present right beside the source of the laser. Using this system lightning can be deterred away from other attractive and relatively tall objects that aren't supposed to be lightning rods. The entire system ended up being a "car sized" laser and god knows how much it pulled from the power gird, but if you intend to use if for say an effective range of accuracy for only 5 to 10 meters instead of the absurd 2-8 km distance to the clouds, then you might be able to make a capacitor and battery design circuit used by modern coil guns to actually make something definable as a working lightning gun that can be carried on-hand, since lasers need to be stronger the longer they need to travel, they can also be weaker if they don't need to travel farther. Anyway, more about the defense system cuz it's too cool to just leave out, is that it can be configured so multiple buildings can be made to communicate so as to share the "hits" from the cloud as a single spot doesn't get struck twice in short intervals, for example say if the tallest sky scraper's lightning rod has already been hit, the laser can then be turned off so the next tallest building can use it's own laser stationed right under it's own lightning rod to bait for the next lightning and slowly deplete the charge in the cloud. This innovation is going to be a major contributor if we ever figure out a way to make lightning harvesting a viable source of energy with radical temperature superconductors someday. Sure it might not make sense today but maybe if our decedents move to Venus someday where storms are far more common and far more powerful it might just be the one thing they need to keep going. There is a shorts video with the title of "This crazy laser can stop lightning" by Cleo Abram from a year ago that shows working footage, and is how I came to know of this method. Edit: I should watch the video before commenting. huh.

Wish I would have stumbled on you sooner so I could make OpenSauce this year. It's a little late for me to make it this year, but if you have one in 2025, we plan on being there. Hopefully, as an exhibitor!!

Okay, so I have a theory on why the goop didn't look as cool as the water: Because the water is not, well, goopy, it separates very easily (as we saw). I think as, it's leaving the nozzle, tiny water drops are flying off of the main stream. The sparking and arcing we see is the electricity within the main stream jumping to those little bits. Thus, the sparks increase as the water gets further from the nozzle. This explains why the goop is not arcing in the air, as it does not separate as easily as compared to the water. You can see a little bit of arcs *just* after turning on the spray, and once it starts to lose pressure, as there is not enough pressure within the cannon to expel a solid stream. The science-semen is particulating into the air for those small moments, thus the electricity has something accessible and conductive to arc to. But hey, that's just a theory. A science theory.

I’m thinking the same thing. The arcs are insulating air breaking down into plasma. But if the fluid is conductive then there might not be a strong enough field for breakdown of the fluid

14:12 anyone else notice that the reservoirs emit light too?

Can you even imagine laughing at a guy with a super soaker and you get electrocuted to death?

Bro, looking at that laser deadass made my eyes feel round, with little pointy points. Quality content.(damn)👍👍

It's so cute how all of my favorite science YTers always hang out together and you can hear them in each other's videos

The droopy lightning was the highlight of the video, amazing stuff.

6:26 You can see the arc inside the tubes that comes out of the tank. Pretty cool-

Hey Alan, You Rock Bro!!! That's the most I've laughed at a KZfaq Channel in a L O N G time! Seriously, I could see how much extra work you put in on that video and I have to say it's impressive. You built all of those projects just for us to laugh, you're a freaking champion! I just had to give a "Like" and "Subscribe". I'm really impressed! Please keep making videos! Here's a few extra "Exclamation Marks"… !!! !!! You earned it.

15:30 I think that the laminar goo-flow is SO laminar that it ends up just grounding itself 90% of the time and so that's why it doesn't arc until the laminar-ness goes away. I think. I wouldn't know, I'm not the one who built a freaking tesla minigun. Super cool!
