Everything is wire if the voltage is high enough

Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

“Danger! Danger! High voltage.

When we touch, when we kiss”

"it's current not voltage that kills you"

High voltage: "Por que no los dos?"

When you cast Chain Lightning at nothing.

modern metal band logos are really getting out of hand smh

I don't know too much about HV, but I thought that even the crazy path shown in the picture was still the path of least resistance. Is that wrong?

Pshaw, even at LV, it's a lay theory that is, at best, vastly incomplete and, at worst, demonstrably false.

Electricity will flow through all paths, the most electricity will flow down the path of the least resistance.

That arc is going up because the plasma is hot and the air is turbulent.

From what I've seen, nothing will make a bunch of linemen hit the deck like the sound of high voltage switchgear opening when they weren't expecting it.

"NNNNYYYYYYAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZTTTTT"

I think that still is actually from this video of a switch opening. Sound on, it's real neat.

• Where's the fucking wire?!!!
• WHO THE FUCK CARES?

Always fun stuff to work with, DI water or oil are great insulators, though one sucks to clean up if you spill it 😓

Does anybody else see the beastman with safety googles and clasped hands screaming into the sky?

With sufficient voltage, everything is a conductor.

With insufficient voltage, everything is an insulator.

Neither may be conducive to those roles, but everything has some conductivity and some resistance (super conductors being a possible exception).

Also High Voltage. This human body will do just fine.

Noted, high voltage is potato energy.

Oh hey, I design those. Though I design them so that there's an incredibly low risk they do that.

Its funny because the arc looks a bit like Louise Belcher laughing maniacally
