I was a young flight engineer flying center seat on a P3c Orion in 1992 some where in the Pacific. When I saw the fire it danced upon our windshield like a thousand little lightning bolts. It was like a plasma ball. Just thought I'd share an experience.
Thank you, I am working on a translation of Shakespeare's The Tempest. I couldn't figure out what Ariel was talking about in Act I, Scene ii, when he describes becoming "flamed amazement" that would "burn in many places: on the topmast, the yards and bowsprit . . . Jove's lightnings, the precursors/ O' the dreadful thunder-claps . . . " I was wondering, "Wait-- what?? I thought the ship was supposed to get wrecked by the tempest--- Did Ariel actually light the ship on fire??" So I had to do a bit of research and found your explanation. Now I understand-- Ariel was playing with Saint Elmo's fire! Thank you for straightening out my interpretation... Phew, that was a close one!
Crazy tho My mom never knew who Saint Elmo was but she dreamt about bringing saint Elmo's fire to the city that blacked out she even met Saint Elmo in her dream Then when she woke up she told us about it and it turns out Saint Elmo was an actual saint and we never even had the slightest idea of who he is
Ah you are so welcome! This phenomenon is so beautiful with your eyes. Seriously. No wonder sailors thought it was a sign of divinity. You know those Christmas lights which are borderline Ultra Violet Blue....and they are so colorful that they appear fuzzy to your eyes? It's like that. So rich in color and texture.

@@chriscash7779 i think that is a seperate phenomenon from st elmos fire. st elmos fire appears on metal tips around stormy weather and is blue, purple or white. lightening balls are usually orange or white and they bounce around between storm clouds or near the ground sometimes.
Just after watching Moby Dick (1956) and thought it was some supernatural thing. Special effect was pretty good for its time. Mariners of yore had incredible lives , can you imagine seeing this before people knew about electricity?
Used to see St. Elmo's fire all the time during my flying career......so cool! Propellers would be ringed with purple flame, lightning dancing across the windscreen, and a purple spike forming ahead of the nose......mesmerizing!
One time long ago, as a mechanic, I was working a night cargo 747 flight. We were over Indonesia, when I was called up to the cockpit to show me the Saint Elmo’s fire all over the windows. Very impressive. Ha, we had just flown into a volcanic ash cloud. Oops. That could destroy our engines and sand blast the windshield. Some aircraft have even lost all four engines. Well, we flew on and was quickly out of it.
Amazing video and explanation, never knew this until now! And the lighting and quality is one of the best I've seen so far. Thanks! You're an inspiration!
Thanks again for a great video I actually found this video after listening to John Parr's "St Elmo's fire" 😊 But I actually already watch your videos 👍👍👍
Great video. When I tried searching for info on St Elmo's Fire, all I got until now was that John Parr song (which is a great song, don't get me wrong, just not what I was looking for). Thanks!
I have experienced St Elmos fire at sea on a small fishing boat after a huge storm. The tips of the fishing rods were glowing a bluish purple and buzzing, like humming. Not sure the frequency but that's what drew our attention to them in the first place. I would say around 1khz or something. Tried to record it but all I got was the sound.
Benjamin, thanks for sharing that. Really jealous - i've never had such an experience. That must have really been something. You shared the experience of sailors for thousands of years.
Great channel Sir! I was wondering if you could explain "Ball Lightning" and maybe figure out a way or how to demo it ? WWII Submarine crews use to say that they would see and or generate it when changing out battery's while at sea - I think I read that somewhere Lol not 100% sure about that part?. Thanks for the videos and some of the best explanation I have seen so far- Two Thumbs Up!!!!
OT. The Udall, Kansas tornado of 1955 had St. Elmo's Fire ablaze on its funnel that some said resembled a child's pinwheel and was like looking into the sun. The Udall tornado, continuing to wear St. Elmo's Fire as its crown, took over 1/5 of Udall's population to their graves and, for inexplicable reasons that still keep meteorologists awake, suddenly made a sharp U-turn from its perfectly linear path to completely avoid the neighboring town of Oxford, sparing it completely, before suddenly making a second sharp U-turn onto its previous precise path without lifting from the ground for over 50 miles. RIP to those who lost their lives and suffered horrific trauma.
I love this video, the explanation works well. Electrolysis induced charge goes i to the boat and is expelled out of the antenna like masts and sharp points around the vessel. Lucky nobody ever took a static bolt to the head in the crows nest!
I SAW IT OVER OUR SNOW MAN'S HEAD, WITH MY SISTER IN 1948/49. I HAVE ALSO HAD A LIGHTNING STRIKE RIGHT NEXT TO ME, IS A LARGE, WET EARTH FILLED SKIP, IN OXTON, BIRKENHEAD, MERSEYSIDE ENGLAND.
To be honest I never knew this happend on ships. I've witnessed this first hand when I was flying from the Bahamas. This was talked about in pilot traning but I've never thought i get ti experience it since I would always stay away from the weather but with very strong storms building faster then we could get around them the windscreen had st elmos flickering on a off for about 30 minutes until we got to clear air and made our way further from the storms. I remember that night for the st elmos fire and the amount of lighting which seemed to show the wall of storms I was doing my best to stay out of and I mostly remember that night for just how fast weather can change and for a hour of my life flying a plane knowing I couldn't get above the storms and everytime it looked like we got around a cell another would be growing right there. Honestly having seen st elmos fire it's never a good time if you get to see it
That's great! Now I know that those coronal discharges from your fingertips are not dangerous at all yet, still, I'm concerned. How do you get to produce fingertip discharges?
Hi. I made by mistake from the Palm of my hand and finger tips blue rays like neon on the sheets of the bed. How is this possible, What is the explanation? It only lasted 5 seconds and it stopped. Thank you in advance!
What is the voltage multiplier you are using for a power source? Can I make st elmos fire with a ballast and crt flyback? Or would a zvs crt flyback work better? I also have that small tesla coil at the end of the video. Would any of these be able to make this? Thanks
Honestly, i've found that voltage multipliers are to most amazing devices. You would make coronal discharge with an open high voltage wire from a flyback...but not st. elmos fire. St. Elmos fire is DC based, not AC
you can get tiny coronal discarges from arc lighters. if you disassemble them and put the high voltage leads far away from each other so they don't arc, then touch the wires, you can see, in a dark room, a faint purple glow
Interesting that the 16th century ship in your video is flying Turkish flag; St. Elmo's fire was observed during the Siege of Malta in 1565 when Ottoman Turks attempted to take over the island fortress of Malta of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John (=Knights of Rhodes till 1522 and Knights of Malta from 1530).
Hi Gabrielle. That is an interesting question. It is not necessarily a natural part of the nitrogen recycling process of the earth, nor phosphorus. It is purple because of the nitrogen in the air, and it does indeed create nitrogen compounds as a side effect. However, those are minimal. It is a natural process, but is only involved with nitrogen by sheer chance that our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen. Cheers!
Thank you. I am not a follower of EU theory, but love the tying in of ancient mythology and Aether. As those two are things which simply are fun to think about.
it's one of the mythical creature of the Philippines. They call it Santelmo. It will lure it's victim who was being hypnotized by the light and will get lost in the woods.
how would you explain one of those that goes round a human body and up and down yet do no harm or have any substance to the touch but yes he happened to be by the sea at the time
I like the channel, but the audio needs fixing! I put the video on to watch and I have to turn the volume up because you are quite, but then the intro comes on and the house shakes!
Good vid, already familiar w the stuff but liked the vid, good for helping less science type folk to grasp it wo shoving a book in their faces and slamming it shut when they say 'huh' ! Already subbed and have shared other vids from here. May dark dominatrix goddesses keep you well ! (Sciency pagan into BDSM)
@@PlasmaChannel I've watched several this week, I'm a science first person so I share stuff that teaches ppl how stuff works, especially when the apparent IQ is dropping world wide. my Zippo arc lighter is even a tool for this. A vid on why such arcs are purpleish would be cool, I know it's due to atmosphere composition but many prob don't. Keep up the good work.
Do you use cocaine? hahaha, calm is a joke, but their pupils are very dilated XD with respect to the video, good content, excuse my English, I am Spanish, greetings.
Yeah, I had serious issues with encoding my videos early on. In the file on my computer, my skin is normal. But youtube's encoding system is messed up. Some videos upload the exact color as what was created. Other videos, the colors shown on youtube are more red.
+Plasma Channel Very cool! Btw, I think I remember seeing you leave a comment in a certain induction heating video, where you said that you'll be doing an episode about induction heating in the future... so, are you up to it? It would be awesome if you manage to levitate the metal while melting it. Anyways, keep up the good work!
You have great videos, but you are committing the worst of youtuber sins. Your mic is OK, your voice quality is fine, but your 25db quieter than your intro music and I have to mute shit or blow my eardrums out every video. Come on man, either turn your mic gain up so I don't have to crank shit to hear you, or mix your music at levels that are at least within 5db of your audio...
Oh yeah I actually had a question too. Does this not happen on modern metal hulled ships? I went looking for images assuming that, if this was just due to being a good focal point during a storm so to speak, it should still happen with metal ships? Does them being metal keep it from happening? Or are sailors just selfish AF and don't upload pictures of this stuff so we land lubbers can never see it?
Hi Reid. This is a very old video of mine. Check out my newer content - it is light years ahead in terms of production quality- you would enjoy it! Yes, sailors on metal ships in modern times still experience st. Elmo’s fire. They just may not have their cameras on them when it happens. Cheers!
@@PlasmaChannel Good to know, I shall continue my search for modern pictures of it... You would think in a world so full of cameras AND ships, it wouldn't be this hard to find :P.
Reid Wallace well, keep in mind it occurs just before or during storms, and is a low light situation... so hard for a smartphone to photograph. I admit, though, you’d think we’d have more pictures of it by now.
Finally, someone who explains St. Elmo's fire, and who demonstrates it!
Glad you enjoyed! Feel free to share our content

I saw St.Elmos Fire when i was a kid. In a stormy and rainy night, on a old power pole. So excited!
Crazy tho

Then when she woke up she told us about it and it turns out Saint Elmo was an actual saint and we never even had the slightest idea of who he is
Thats pretty cool
It was the name of a popular 80s song and the movie it was made for. She probably absorbed the name through cultural osmosis.
Thank you. Moby Dick chapter 119 (‘The Candles’) now makes sense.

nex do one on ball lightning or earthquake lights

It's Ben Franklin's kite experiment in a nutshell
Yeah, pretty much!
My wife and I witnessed it coming home from work one day when lightening struck a telephone pole. I know. "What's a telephone pole?"
Shades of the UK comedy writer Chris Morris 😂
it's one of the mythical creature of the Philippines. They call it Santelmo. It will lure it's victim who was being hypnotized by the light and will get lost in the woods.

I'll pass on that one...forever.
So, I might be over using the only good neuron I have. This is plasma.... Right?
We saw it on a field near electrical towers. Thought they had to come from UFOs!
It appears at 2:24 am
Reminds me of a plasma ball lamp.
it is one.
good explanation
Thank you. We appreciate your viewership
Indeed
Could this be what lightning sprites are?
You are the god of plasma 😂
I do hope!
So, it's like static electricity..
But weren't ships back then made mostly out of wood.
this occurs on steeples at churches. it has something to do with meridian power.
I would love to see that. Seriously. I'd pay to see the phenomenon in person.
What happens if you touch that plasma discharge?
It turns into spark discharges if done with my device. And the sparks are high current, so it’s painful
