So am I. Let a 25Kv corona touch you and you will be picking yourself up off the floor.I'm talking corona not arc flash

It's not very deceptive after one has cleaned 6 feet of the floor with his buttocks.
So...what about those gasses we discussed in PM? Any utility for your purpose?

Please refresh my memory

Here it is - stops taser instantly... and makes you sound like Darth Vader if you breath it.Sulfur hexa-fluoride?
Relatively inert element with (6) valence 1 partners. Dense (heavier than air) gas at room temperature. Very much an insulator. Converts to the 10 partner toxic when energy is added.
Gawd, I'm bad at chemistry!
Indeed! - However, at that point, it's no longer corona, but, indeed, arc-flash!So am I. Let a 25Kv corona touch you and you will be picking yourself up off the floor.

Oh! dielectric gases! -- Your reply to my post (wherein I made mention of ozone and nitrogen dioxide) had me all confused!Sulfur hexa-fluoride?
He really should not have encouraged/prompted inhalation of the SF6Here it is - stops taser instantly... and makes you sound like Darth Vader if you breath it.
As an employee of the chemical industry, I watched this video and wasn't sure if I should be calling 911 as he endangering the public or admire his willingness to set aside human health, environment and regulations for the sake of a science demonstration. Instead, I just watched like a slack-jawed idiot then copied it to this thread.He really should not have encouraged/prompted inhalation the SF6
Other than being a green-house gas it's a simple Asphyxiant.As an employee of the chemical industry, I watched this video and wasn't sure if I should be calling 911 as he endangering the public or admire his willingness to set aside human health, environment and regulations for the sake of a science demonstration.

Yeah, I've done the Vader voice in grad school with it. Almost indestructible gas except by UV to break the SF bonds. Just crazy to have a fish tank full of a freon-like gas for the sake of a science demonstration. Would not get a stamp of approval at my company.Other than being a green-house gas it's a simple Asphyxiant.
From the MSDS: Global warming potential [CO2=1] : 22200
Moreover the SF6 is neither USP nor FCC grade! -- And, hence, of dubious purity for purposes outside of its intended application (Spec. The presence of bio-available fluorides at harmful concentrations cannot be ruled out). The presenter's encouragement of others negligence via tacit conveyance of the notion that the substance was unequivocally harmless was irresponsible in the extreme! Granted, his simpering 'guinea pigs' were less than sympathetic - still...Yeah, I've done the Vader voice in grad school with it. Almost indestructible gas except by UV to break the SF bonds.

Thus it is that we are spared The Wrath of The Aleph for another day (hopefully)
Be very very careful, HP!PS --- Hey @Aleph(0) I know I don't need to say this - however I feel that I must: It's all kwel...K?
It appears that your electronics-related interests encompass re-creating 1920's and 1930's era high voltage experiments.
We don't bother with antique experiments cuz we're into diying modern equipment plus trying to improve on it in the process! So I'm saying wimshurst machines and vdgs and Marks gennys need not apply!Actually, it's not so much a 'retro thing' as it is a 'bullet proof thing'
I know! Cuz I had 400W of corona and it wasn't even hot!Not only does corona pollute indoor air (with O3 and NO2), damage insulation and pose an increased flash-over/arc-flash hazard - but it represents significant loss! -- Much more than suggested by its deceptively 'gentle' glow
I 'avent a bloody idea, wottWhat is kwel...K?
You are, I take it, referring to the previously discussed overload of your 120kV PSU? --- Again, I feel that owed more to the corona's reverseI know! Cuz I had 400W of corona and it wasn't even hot!
Erudite people like me who've attended Fawlty Towers 'U' (as opposed to the Mckenzie Bros reformatory) know that 'K?' (used as an interjection) is a 'dig' at Latin culture, Eh?@boatsman
Now I'm saying sorry about jab at British culture cuz I thought _K_ in your post was variant of _Hey?_ or _Eh?_ which is jab at my N. North American culture. So now don't you be poor sport!
PS I hope tag worked!
How on Earth could I arrive at THAT conclusion?!?!?!?I see you are meaning from HP's post! I say she meant _Ok_ cuz she thinks I'm a poor sport
I think it is a misspelling of the slang, "kewl" which is an intentional distortion of, "cool" which means, "good".What is kwel...K?
Let me guess: Constant reading between the lines, trying to decipher the imaginary, "How you are trying to make her feel"?How on Earth could I arrive at THAT conclusion?
