There are similarities between this accident and the account Richard
posted of the Corums experiment.
Corums: 2 coils and carbon electrodes as a source of ion's.
Dan: Secondary and magnifier coil, and an exploding alligator clip.
Maybe if we exploded a wire between two running coils :).
Here is an area of research for coils - no one really understands
ball lightning.
What could hold ionised particles together in a sphere? What holds
them together in an arc?
On a related subject a Sunday's nights Equinox programme (UK) looked
at earth lights. Showing that these particular ufo's appeared over geological
fault lines. The also showed that rocks subject to extreme presure to the
point of failure emit voltage and magnetic fields. Also in a fault water is
vapourised making the rock an insulator - preventing large charges
from leaking away. The result is earth lights, very large fireballs,
lasting several minutes. Powerful em fields and fireballs were recorded
at several locations.
If I ever try to build a machine to produce fireballs I will of course
call it the XL5 :)
Have fun everyone,
