- dismalpedigree 4y agoPretty confident that video is fake. The concept holds though. This video seems more realistic. https://youtu.be/2NKOlLDNknc https://youtu.be/2NKOlLDNknc Point being the initial path creates a plasma channel that then bridges the gap and lets current flow.
- maxerickson 4y agoSo I would expect an outcome like 3 or 2 in this video (where something bridges the lines, established the arc, and then it goes away): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOT8jx4jEzM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOT8jx4jEzM Is the arc dissipating because an automatic system is killing power to the lines? Is there going to be damage elsewhere in the system from events like 3 and 2 in the video there?
