Just thinkin' of some fun uses of my thumper.I think lightening is way up in the Megavolts....
Let's say that I have a high voltage capacitor that I can discharge at
will. If I connect it to a thin wire (24 ga or so), say a foot of it,
and put through a several kilovolt/kilojoule discharge, would the
exploding wire
create enough heat to ionize air sufficiently to create lightning
strike-like spark from the cap?
Another question, can such things be viewed with an autodarkening
welding helmet. (1/20,000th of a second darkening time)
i
But it could work if the vaporized wire created ionized path.
I am trying to find a thin enough wire, and then I will give it a
try.
