What if you poured alcohol over the entire car and then did the tesla coil strike. You would get a really cool blue flame to go with that nice blue arc!

Or save on the alcohol and use a 4 point star filter on the camera ....

That's a very neat effect! Maybe i should get a new camera for my birthday after all, and try to take some neat photos.

I've not regretted it. My site would be very ordinary without one.

Here's a rainbow filter giving a comic book-like "ZAP"

Wonderful display. In the 1970's we had a rash of blown RF front ends of car CB radios caused by people sliding off their vinyl seat covers and touching the CB whip with a static spark.
