The Exploding Wire

- The technique of the exploding wire relies on the discharge of a high voltage capacitor into a thin wire, the intense heat vaporizes the wire and a shockwave is produced.
It has been used as a detonator of nuclear weapons, as a high intensity light source, in the production of nanoparticles, and in nuclear fusion research.
Warning: Danger of electrocution, do not replicate at home.

that 'dust remains' is actually nanoparticles of the wire metal.
Yes!
Ludic Science Apparently TIG welders use some electrodes which have the potential to create some nasty nanoparticles?
Millions of workers have been exposed to the particles since electric welding came along so perhaps it isn't dangerous but when I worked in factories I saw the men welding and having all the dust rise up in their faces but when I suggested putting a simple blower to blow it away I was sneered at!
@Ludic Science No, the cap bank specs given equate to 342 Joules: E = 1/2 x C x V^2, with C in Farads, V in Volts and E in Joules.
Holy shit that's terrifying, I didn't expect it to be so loud.
Very nice !
Years ago I worked to demonstrate just such a device, it had a really giant high voltage capacitor, obtained from a radar transmitter. It was charged with a 15Kv neon sign transformer via a HV diode and fed through an ignitron switch (mercury solenoid of sorts) The output was via two large feed through insulators some 12" tall and 10" apart where a braided iron wire (picture hanging wire) was placed, needless to say the results were spectacular. When a 22 gauge copper wire was tried it resulted in a very loud explosive B O O M and a bright green flash. Never got to do the copper wire much... to many complaints
Craig Nehring Wow, 15 kv cap, ingnitron switch... great stuff!
Great job on your demonstration.
shazizz Thanks!
I love this guy ,even with his accent he explains everything very clearly....... Great job on all your tutorials!,,,,
Great Video!!! This would be very cool if it were filmed with a super slow motion camera to see the plasma making the holes.
emf4kv Yes.... too bad those cameras are expensive, I hope to get my hands on one in the future.
True. Maybe a deal with some other youtuber that has one to borrow it or use under supervision...
You could select some previous videos and record in slo-mo and then release them at different times.
Wow, very nice. I have a 6000V 30µ cap somewhere at home, maybe I'll try the exploding wire experiment. One question: Isn't it bad for the caps if a really high current (some 100 amps) is discharged in that short period of time?
It depends on the design of the capacitor and other details of your circuit. A well-designed system would likely provide high-current diodes to prevent reverse charging of the capacitors from the LC circuit ringing which happens. Electrolytic caps of course can be damaged by reverse voltage, but even non-polarized capacitors experience some forms of internal wear when the voltage across them changes sign with a very high dV/dt. Most capacitors will take this kind of abuse for 10s to 100s of shots, maybe more. There are pulse-rated caps which can do it for millions of shots.
Use? IT'S F***ING FUN!
Very interesting demonstration of the powers of a capacitor :-)
What kind of capacitors did you use for the bank?
Thats really good.It explains how living beings and material are destroyed during lightning by this theory both heat and voltage.I like your explanation friend.
Ganesh man Lama Thanks
Can you do a video of how you made the capacitor bank please!?
P0tat0_craft Maybe I will, right now I have too many projects to finish, thanks!
Ludic Science ok :D
Your videos are awesome !!!!thanks for uploading ...keep it up ....😆
+vansh santoshi thanks
Now I can be a Michael Bay Jr ;p haha.
Good job!
very intresting thank you
Not bad but not good your gloves are not insulated against a electrical charge and just because you arced off the capacitors once and very quickly does not mean they are safe to bare hand grab the wires there still can be a deadly charge on them. Not saying you need to but try adding a switched drain resistor to drain any left over charge. but cool video
Awesome video
Muy buen video y consejo
For even more fun use Al wire in distilled water
You will rip the Oxygen from the water for an amazing detonation. Take cover and wear UV eye protection
I'm sure if I did this with my bank (12 millifarad, 900V) I'd have the neighbours calling the cops. Hope you were wearing ear defenders when exploding the aluminium and wire! :)
:) sure it is very loud
Nice
1:30 with this piece of aluminum sh-t.
Looooool
What is a 'shockwave'? And is it related to E = mc^2? I'd assume not but I cant think of any other explanation....
Soham Gumaste A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance. When a wave moves faster than the speed of sound in a liquid, gas orplasma (a "fluid", in physics terminology) it is a shock wave. Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy, and can propagate through a medium. It is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous change in pressure, temperature anddensity of the medium.[1] In supersonic flows, expansion is achieved through an expansion fan.
Ludic Science Which field(i.e. electromagnetic etc) does this wave belong to?
Soham Gumaste electromanetics
Ludic Science Sorry for the late reply, but AFAIK It can't be an electromagnetic wave..That would mean a huge amount of light is generated. And, all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light...
You are correct - this shockwave is a fluid dynamics phenomenon, not electromagnetic itself.
is that a 1 amp wire?
Nice ludic hahh , try with eletric bulb ( but is dangerous)
Nice ludic... :)
Videoinducation7 Thanks a lot!
Its very daangerous
Rutuja Yadav Yes
i alredy tried it and the cord wires burned out XDDDD
Nice
