Cool!

Thanks Terry B. for posting the movie!!!

Danielle Stampe has been on TV many times.  That arc off her head is a well 
known "oops" ~;-))  That too should only be done by trained professionals ;o))

Of course, Danielle IS a trained professional with a lot of serious safety 
training as well as an excellent knowledge of this stunt.  No one at home 
should go trying this!!!  It is how Henry Transtrom got killed.  He was the 
guy that trained all the trained professionals :-/

"""""
Henry L Transtrom - Electrocuted while working on a stage and using a
large Tesla coil.  He inadvertently allowed a power arc to go from his body
to some metal framing that was part of the stage backdrop.  He authored the
following book:

 "ELECTRICITY AT HIGH PRESSURES AND FREQUENCIES"
Henry L. Transtrom, originally published: 1913, second edition
1921, Joseph G. Branch Publishing, Chicago; Reprinted 1990, ISBN
1-55918-054-4, Lindsay Publications, Bradley, Illinois, 60915.
Paperback, 247pp, Lindsay # 20544.
""""""

There is a well known thread in the archives about "arcs off the fingers 
and getting killed in the process" too....

It was neat how they actually told a little about Tesla coils and even told 
about the head streamer!!  It did not have the usual "show" to it which was 
really nice!!  Interesting about the mention of "whacky scientists out 
there".  That's US  *:-)))

Cheers,

        Terry
