High Voltage Propagation in a vacuum

This video is a continuation of the last video which was related to the Avramenko plug. I add now four fluorescent bulbs in parallel to a vacuum tube in series and investigate the sparking behaviour.

Have not herd from you in quite a while, hope your doing okay. I always enjoyed your videos.

Hi Thomas, 4:52 lese gerade den Kommentar mit der blauen Farbe. Habe vor Deinem Video zufällig rote Pyramide gesehen - funny Olde WORLD - Chem Pyramids, irgendwie sowas.
Verstehe aber null Koma null.

Arent the sparks electric discharge machining? I would wonder if you let it run a while, the surface of the material would end up looking like the moon. Or Mars.

Is that a control circuit coil receiver for sparking . Increase decreased speed

Like the work here... most people are only fascinated by the overdriven plasmaball effect of tesla coils.. sparks.
Think they need a tranmitter and receiver both stuck to ground... shows how little most understand about the subject.

Are there dangerous x-rays coming off the cathode?

[ukpoetry]

Thank-you. Really interest. Worth the eye suffering.

I love blue whit to pink in gap to orange then orange jumps the middle or coil then pink jump back to blue white light.
I paused it and the color are awesome to see 3 colors ark at the same time

This needs to be recorded on a high speed camera, at 1.5-2 million frames/ second, to see what's really happening here! I think I'd put some window tint or something over the light tubes, while recording, so they can still be seen lighting, without over lighting the background, awesome video!

wow amazing work! is the website still up? the link doesn't work right now

Tesla ended up using electromagnets to quench his spark gaps, enabling him to pulse width modulate and set the frequency. The smaller the pulse width the more pronounced the dielectric effects were.
