BUMP:: It is complete. I had worked on it over the weekend and it is finally complete All i need to do is well.....add water I am very pleased on how well it came together seeing that i dident have any specific design in mind. Anyway here are some pics of it completed and hopefully after i get a 50A 4 prong dryer plug you will see some amazing arcs.
Be sure to tell me what you think or if tthere is anything that i can improve on the design. Thanks.

Excellent! Looks like you got a good-sized garbage can, too. Bigger than mine. I bet you'll be able to dump 15+kVA or so through there for more than a few mins before it needs a break.

You COULD get a radiator from the air conditioner of a car and have a dirty water pump pump the water through it and have a fan on the radiator to cool it. I would not use submersible though because i do not trust them, especially when the water is highly conductive, and because i do not know of any submersibles that are dirty water capable.

yay, someone used my idea =) For future referance, when you solder, use WAY more flux, it should be the same color as copper =) It might even affect conductivity

EH... yea i know. My problem was that i was running out of flux and dident want to run out when i have one connection left. If i have problems ill just take it off and resolder it when i get more flux.
