if you get adventurous try taking a dish of water and ground it. Then take a nice long chicken stick and hook you mot up to the end of it, and power it all up. When you draw arks to the water you get a lot more plasma, and it seems like you can get longer arks... Try setting a magnet inside for extra fun cheesey

just be safe about it...

I remember when my first experience with hv-a little ccfl transformer. I spent hours melting little bits of 30awg wire ad miking micro jacobs ladders... Then I upgraded the power by about 10x and built my zvs driver. That was amazing, especially at like 50v cheesey II ended up using a 1/2" aluminum rod as my ground electrode to keep it from melting!

By the way the water has salt in it, I thought that would be a nice touch.
I noticed that the bubbles spin! Just like the vortex thing(also done tonight)
