Watching the arcing back and forth from one wire to the other in the water was fascinating. I love how there was the little floof of blue plasma every time the AC changed direction. Very interesting video, thanks for making it!
Holding high voltage wires with both hands might be a bad idea, because if the wire touches you the electricity will go through your heart. Great video as always!
well it all wont go through your heart, like a defibrillator has pads you put on the chest, there's a reason for that, but year its always best to be safe, i'm usually not safe for some reason. i'm still alive so i must be doing something right.
I love that at 6:45 you can see the effect of alternating current. It pulses into the water almost like with a mini fire and exhausts out into the other wire almost. You can see the initial pulse change sides as the current alternates direction. Mental. I love deep stuff like this.
gmaxsc because if I film a light plugged into a wall at even 1000 fps theres a big amount of black frames, in this case even at very high frame rates the gap is short. I will test the frequency later out of curiosity.
as a former sign maker, this video is terrifying. the last thing you ever want to do with a neon transformer is arc between the electrodes particularly through water. on the other hand, as a videophile, it's AWESOME! thanks so much for making it
I have a 9000 volt neon transformer and first played with it in 1972. One day I was making a glass bead by having one wire over a small pile of wet sand. Other wire was in the sand. Resulting arcing produced a purple bead but before done , both wires came loose and landed on my thumbs. All that electricity was going to my chest. My eyes just turned off. Could only see black and what seemed forever, I managed to push myself backwards with my legs and broke contact. Geeez, thought I was going to die. But I still have the transformer, just a hell of a lot more careful. btw my eyesight returned to normal once loose. If you use a single strand of old screen wire and arc to it, it will spark heavy then ball up until it cant melt anymore and just do small sparks. Now, that is with 9000 volts. 15,000 may not ball up and stop. Never had a more powerful transformer to try it.
+55Ramius well I'll tell you this, I had an old transformer like that but I lend it out and I never got it back, they don't make them like that anymore , I believe that one was 10000 volts 5 amps, I'm pretty sure that'll kill you if you hold onto it long enough, the newer ones like this and the solid-state versions are much less amperage , like a hundred fifty times less. Do you still have that old Transformer? Does it still work, I would like to see a picture.
I saw no way to send you a picture of my old 9000 volts transformer you asked for in comments. I tried putting it and a short video on your Facebook but I don't see it. Also see no direct email so what option do I have?
So you are the guy doing the Warped Perception videos? As for amps, have no idea but must be micro or I would be dead I think. I tried a video of it running also besides the picture. There used to be a small metal plate on it long ago I think but is long gone. Do not remember any specs other than 9000 volt. did you see a video on FaceBook? I have no channel yet or a website. I don't know for sure where I could place things like this and just link you too it.
55Ramius well I don't make the videos all on my own ( I wish that was possible ) , I write , direct and host them. that's cool, I saw the pictures but not the video. I will look again. I'm sure those older transformers are higher amps. I mean if you raise the amperage even a little, the wattage multiplies exponentially so it becomes more dangerous.
Sir, you are the correct guy who utilizes the slow mo camera in perfect way...... The actual slow mo guys just record the jumping videos. I want to ask the "slow mo guys" channel team, that use the slow mo camera to show us what we can't see ........ not the things we can see normally.
I thought it was really cool some of those slomo shots were amazing. You could see the water boiling on impact of the electrons and interesting to see the superheated alternating plasma in the air
Very cool! It's good practice to leave your left hand behind your back when you deal with say electricity above ~400 volts. You are trusting the insulation on those wires a lot. Consider making one or both of the things you use to move the wire be out of or insulated material or just attach it with insulated material in-between you and the wire. Example: ducttape a small visegrips to a plastic serving ladle you might have in your kitchen.
I am late to the party, just having this video popping-up in my suggested videos, but I was thinking the same thing. So many things wrong with this video from a safety standpoint. Cool stuff, but...Hopefully he is still around making videos.
Awesome! I love the sparks and the slow motion footage. I was at a science center years ago and saw over 1 million volts of electricity being shot into the air via Tesla Coil. That’s pretty intense. I love to see things like that as long as everyone spectating is safe. That’s so cool. I’d like to see an experiment with a transformer outside shooting sparks into the air like a power line. I saw tons of power line footage which is very very scary even for the power companies. I say to all who view this comment, be careful with electricity. Do not play around unless you know what you are doing. Just a word of advice to all watching. Do not touch a downed power line. If you see one, call the authorities immediately and let the professionals take care of it.
I love how when he did the slo-mo close up on the water he said after "that footage didn't excite me" every other RUclips would make an overly exaggerated surprised and amazed reaction just to make it more interesting. This guys real I like him definitely watching more of his vids
Good old Chicago water!!!!! In watching a few of your videos, and seeing the alley, I had a distinct feeling you were from Chicago. Good to see a great channel from a local guy! :)
I loved how different the positive and negative strikes on the water looked. I only wish I knew which one was which. If you can get the high voltage out of an old fat screen TV, the HV "suction cup" electrode is pulsed DC positive.
that was really good, and as you said, I think this thing has some potential to it. when I was a kid, I had one of these, I used to play with it, try putting it through a magnet, one of those sphere or oval looking magnets, the sparks kind of surround the magnet in a cool way, and also try to put it through wood with water on it, or try gasoline lol that might look cool too I dunno! keep up the good work! :)
You should try this setup: plastic bottle filled with salty water, one electrode submerged into it, the other one sparking the outside of the bottle, I did this once with a very powerful spark generator (I dont remember the voltage or power, but the sparks looked much more violent than the once you got with that one), anyway, give it a try, maybe it looks awesome as well with your transformer, it makes like a tree kind of shape, its amazing. Great channel, keep it up!
This video was actually the very first one where one could pinpoint the fluctuation of electricity. Best overall depiction ever of sparks in air and semi-submerged. We have a working free energy generator on our channel but, alas, lack you skill of making these world-class videos.
The electricity going through the water in slow motion is awesome you can see how Alternating Current works on the surface of the water. You can actually see the direction of the current snapping back and forth.
Warped Perception, I haven't watched a video since you had about one thousand subscribers, I'm so happy to see your channel is getting the recognition it deserves!
I dont know if its actually what you are seeing, but it looks like you can see the direction of the electrons traveling from the wires thru the water. When one wire sparks and there is a lot of turbulence under, on the other side, it seems like it is very calm with a blue ring around the spark in the water. 5:27 Then after about 2 sparks, it switches sides. 5:39 I dont know if I am imagining that but thats what it looks like I saw.
That must be alternative current ay? You can physically see the plasma pulsing back and forth producing the sound in a pulsing manner when listened to in slow motion. At 5:47 you can see how the current alternates and how the water is being electrolysed and it ignites some of the hydrogen with oxygen on each electrical strike.
I wanted to know what happens to electricity in water, so I googled it. I was like, "Oh, first result *click*" then I heard the intro. Then I was like, "Oh wait! That other video looked more professional" So I backed out and clicked the second result. EXACT SAME INTRO!! I had to do a double take and then question it. Lo and behold, it's not a rip off video. Just a joke intro. That was funny, thanks man.
Lol.. thank you. Yes it was a little parody for another guy that I know on RUclips. I did the parody just to mess around with him. Thanks I'm glad you liked it !.
I have an idea! hang two bare wires horizontally over a 5ft span or so, space them an inch or so apart so you can get an arc, and the spark will cause a magnetic field that will make the wires jump away or towards each other. This is known in the power distribution industry as "conductor slap" and is a very interesting effect. there are a lot of cool things that can be learned here.
I love how the alternating current, starting at 5:30, shows the plasma coming and going off of each electrode. You can see the little blue rivulets of plasma fairing out, left right left right left right. If you ever do this again, I'd be interested to see a volt meter test tap vs. salt water results.
When I was fourteen I put sixty amp at two forty volts into a large Perspex beaker filled with water. It was like a thunderstorm in a jar. It was so violent the whole jar danced around. It was excellent.
Warped Perception I would not recommended it. I did this before health and safety had been invented. Like many of the things I did back then it was stupid and life threatening. So don't do it just because I did it and survived. Besides I described it for you so no mystery. Be safe
There is a method to use electricity to burn some patterns into a wooden plate. I would think this loks very cool in slow motion. Anyway: keep up the good work!! I like your channel and you as a moderator is extremly entertaining too :) Best whishes to you from germany
I'd love to see the wires just far enough away to stop them arcing and then spray water between them. Might take a bit of set up though to make sure it doesn't go somewhere else.
Nick Hadfield wow that's a fantastic idea, I think I'm going to have to try that out, if it comes out nice I'll have to do a video request and put your name on it. Thanks for the feedback
lol. thanks ! glad you like it, sorry for the delay, I had a lot of prep going on for the last 3 weeks, too much to list here but tomorrow i start my filming season for the next 8 months straight. filming 2 documentaries this year and a lot of these WP episodes as well as other tv projects. ton of work !
Wow! The electrodes over glass shot is a very good example of a.c. This should be shown in schools. Btw, I'd suggest you to use some safety equipments. Kudos to you for what you do for science and us. :)
several things caught my eye : that the arc path in air is not a straight line or shortest path between the wire ends & that we can see the arc of electricity in air but not in water. i enjoy your low-key / just-try-something approach to experimenting now. and allow for understanding to follow later
I noticed the same things. I think the reason the current does not take the absolute shortest path is because it is also being repelled by the rest of the wire; therefore, the current tends in a direction further from the wire. Also, you can't see the current in the water because the electric flow is going between the ions and molecules of water rather than air particles. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
So glad that you tried my suggestion ! :D
awesome vid
Grég Achard Yes, thank you for the request !. It was a great idea !!!
just a bit dark (on 10K fps) but that's ok :D
Somehow it doesn't really feel like slow-mo though? Did you do anything differently this time?
+Grég Achard yeah I was trying to create as much contrast between the background and the spark, the spark was surprisingly dim
Never noticed the missing finger till you pointed it out. No pun intended
Team Neudimensions he's a sign language teacher
Noe Martinez lol... nah
The close-up at 6:03 is amazing! You can even see the direction of the alternating current flow.
Thanks for pointing that out . Very cool to see👍🏻
Watching the arcing back and forth from one wire to the other in the water was fascinating. I love how there was the little floof of blue plasma every time the AC changed direction. Very interesting video, thanks for making it!
Wow! Never noticed you were missing a finger.
I thought he was throwing gang signs at the start until I paused the video.
UnitSe7en lol. I have realistically had that happen before when driving in certain neighborhood's
Yes you did. lol!
Warped Perception spray the with oxygen
How'd you loose a finger. If u dont mind me asking???
Holding high voltage wires with both hands might be a bad idea, because if the wire touches you the electricity will go through your heart. Great video as always!
well it all wont go through your heart, like a defibrillator has pads you put on the chest, there's a reason for that, but year its always best to be safe, i'm usually not safe for some reason. i'm still alive so i must be doing something right.
doin right till it goes horribly wrong one day
Arpan Mukhopadhyay it sometimes goes horribly wrong but I'm there to deal with the situation.
Warped Perception what amperage were you running through the arcs?
Devon Manaseri the transformer says about 30ma
I love that at 6:45 you can see the effect of alternating current. It pulses into the water almost like with a mini fire and exhausts out into the other wire almost. You can see the initial pulse change sides as the current alternates direction. Mental. I love deep stuff like this.
that's pretty cool, you can tell it's alternating current at around 6:00 because of the brighter burst alternating which end it goes into
yes , i'm not sure what the frequency is though, i dont think the discharge is 60 hz.
Warped Perception why do you think its different?
gmaxsc because if I film a light plugged into a wall at even 1000 fps theres a big amount of black frames, in this case even at very high frame rates the gap is short. I will test the frequency later out of curiosity.
Warped Perception so many closed caption options omg lol
Warped Perception cool just wondered why you thought it may be different.
It's cool watching the the arc turn yellow in the salt solution because its just like a sodium light bulb
HangLooseMongoose good point , I didn't even think about that , that makes perfect sense
as a former sign maker, this video is terrifying. the last thing you ever want to do with a neon transformer is arc between the electrodes particularly through water. on the other hand, as a videophile, it's AWESOME! thanks so much for making it

Warped Perception I have a "1930s" 10k transformer. Haven't even used it yet though. But yeah the older ones were not current limited.
That 10k fps shot with the cup of water was sick!
the slow mo with the water was awesome
Both the 5k and 10k fps shots of electric arcs hitting the water, is just really satisfying to watch.
Sir, you are the correct guy who utilizes the slow mo camera in perfect way...... The actual slow mo guys just record the jumping videos.
I want to ask the "slow mo guys" channel team, that use the slow mo camera to show us what we can't see ........ not the things we can see normally.

that's awesome footage great work
You can see the current alternating back and forth, very cool!
That footage is amazing. Just looking at seemingly uninteresting things in slow motion with that level of detail is all I want. 👌
Really love your crazy stuff man keep it up
I was just wow omg wow omg during the whole video. Very cool!
Man that's so cool ! you can even see the current changing the direction. Amazing !
great vid guys, liked the part where it was slow mo connecting with the water creating those cool blue/purple sparks or whatever
Your photography capture was top notch - adding to the coolness of the arcs. Thanks!
I loved the super slow motion shots!
Thank you
Awesome! I love the sparks and the slow motion footage. I was at a science center years ago and saw over 1 million volts of electricity being shot into the air via Tesla Coil. That’s pretty intense. I love to see things like that as long as everyone spectating is safe. That’s so cool. I’d like to see an experiment with a transformer outside shooting sparks into the air like a power line.

Thats so cool you can see the 60hz AC power alternating at 6:00
None of these were bad ideas! Great video! Keep it up!
+Bryan M thanks !!!
in the 6th minute the alternating polarity is visible and that's amazing.
That high voltage and water was the coolest high speed I've ever seen
Dude the slow motion was awesome . Did you notice the polarity change of the ac field on the water surface . It was so cool !
I am here for April what a sweet pup.verry good video.
This is mindblowing to watch even as an electronics technician and understanding how AC works. Thanks!
I love how when he did the slo-mo close up on the water he said after "that footage didn't excite me" every other RUclips would make an overly exaggerated surprised and amazed reaction just to make it more interesting. This guys real I like him definitely watching more of his vids
Absolutely amazing video, thank you. Loved the slow motions, commentary, realisation, just everything.
I am Stoned and this is magic. Im about to cry.
Good old Chicago water!!!!! In watching a few of your videos, and seeing the alley, I had a distinct feeling you were from Chicago. Good to see a great channel from a local guy! :)
Love it!
So much, I just subscribed.
Thanks from France!
That was a great video!!!
Thanks for the vid! Appreciate it :)
When I subbed it was like 9k subs and I called it then that in less than a year you'll blow up. Here we are 130k. Congrats, you deserve it!
I loved how different the positive and negative strikes on the water looked. I only wish I knew which one was which. If you can get the high voltage out of an old fat screen TV, the HV "suction cup" electrode is pulsed DC positive.
galfisk o
It's weird that it does that. Water should attract to both charges.
also it is alternating current so no positive or negative electrode
I like the way you r going man keep up the good work
+Daniel Raby thank you very much, thanks for watching
How do you not have like 1Million subs? You seem professional
that was really good, and as you said, I think this thing has some potential to it.
when I was a kid, I had one of these, I used to play with it, try putting it through a magnet, one of those sphere or oval looking magnets, the sparks kind of surround the magnet in a cool way, and also try to put it through wood with water on it, or try gasoline lol that might look cool too I dunno! keep up the good work! :)
those are great ideas ... thanks and thanks !
was the look i keep one poor water ot cu me too said kkkk brazil brasil
There were some awesome drum beats in there.
The slow moe is awesome bro nice vid, stay safe doggy too.
Pretty awesome!
SHOTS FIRED
That was sick!
You should try this setup: plastic bottle filled with salty water, one electrode submerged into it, the other one sparking the outside of the bottle, I did this once with a very powerful spark generator (I dont remember the voltage or power, but the sparks looked much more violent than the once you got with that one), anyway, give it a try, maybe it looks awesome as well with your transformer, it makes like a tree kind of shape, its amazing. Great channel, keep it up!
Differently enjoyed the video, thank you
I really like the production quality of your videos. Your doing a great job!
+Marshall Horton thank you !
It's really cool to see it producing Ozone
i love how you can see the ac cycle visibly between left and right on the surface of the water.
WOW That's great ! You can even see that your high voltage is alternative.
This video was actually the very first one where one could pinpoint the fluctuation of electricity. Best overall depiction ever of sparks in air and semi-submerged. We have a working free energy generator on our channel but, alas, lack you skill of making these world-class videos.
Holistic Holy Order of Scientists Thank you very much !! .
Free energy is pure BS, and so is "healing radiation" as claimed in your video description.
The electricity going through the water in slow motion is awesome you can see how Alternating Current works on the surface of the water. You can actually see the direction of the current snapping back and forth.
Jacobs ladder in slow mo is always cool to watch
You may have done it I'm just finding but this was cool
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing it with the world. God bless.
Warped Perception, I haven't watched a video since you had about one thousand subscribers, I'm so happy to see your channel is getting the recognition it deserves!
DoublePrime thank you! . I remember you.
the cute dog made me like the video
Very cool video
Awesome video.Thank You.
that was cool and I would like to see more. thanks for the great vid
Your 4k quality looks great. My TV is Vizio P65-C1. Thank you!
AWESOME VIDEO!
thats way cool. you can see the arc alternaing between electrodes.
MORE VOLTAGE STUFF PLEASE!
interesting to see a arc in AC up really close.
When you added the salt, it gave that proton pack beam look from Ghostbusters.
hello from France :)
I really like the concept of the channel !
thank you
I dont know if its actually what you are seeing, but it looks like you can see the direction of the electrons traveling from the wires thru the water. When one wire sparks and there is a lot of turbulence under, on the other side, it seems like it is very calm with a blue ring around the spark in the water. 5:27 Then after about 2 sparks, it switches sides. 5:39
I dont know if I am imagining that but thats what it looks like I saw.
When you exploded the popper you should use that as your intro. It would be super cool
Xx Ryeria xX I'm going to start doing intros like that very soon . that's how we do it for the Networks, I think that will work on RUclips as well.
That must be alternative current ay? You can physically see the plasma pulsing back and forth producing the sound in a pulsing manner when listened to in slow motion. At 5:47 you can see how the current alternates and how the water is being electrolysed and it ignites some of the hydrogen with oxygen on each electrical strike.
Chaim Goldbaum any NST or transformer for that matter is gonna be A.C. unless it's rectified.
You are fricking CRAZY!!!! And I like that! You remind me of me!
I never noticed u were missing a finger but cool vid
thank you !
9:01 your disappointment was so epic xD
+Pandu Poluan LMAO !!! So was your comment , thanks !!!
you are creating an awsome videos
I wanted to know what happens to electricity in water, so I googled it. I was like, "Oh, first result *click*" then I heard the intro. Then I was like, "Oh wait! That other video looked more professional" So I backed out and clicked the second result. EXACT SAME INTRO!! I had to do a double take and then question it. Lo and behold, it's not a rip off video. Just a joke intro. That was funny, thanks man.
Lol.. thank you. Yes it was a little parody for another guy that I know on RUclips. I did the parody just to mess around with him. Thanks I'm glad you liked it !.
that grant thompson intro XD
Finally Someone Got It !!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you !
Warped Perception yea, keep up the good work I love the vids
I have an idea! hang two bare wires horizontally over a 5ft span or so, space them an inch or so apart so you can get an arc, and the spark will cause a magnetic field that will make the wires jump away or towards each other. This is known in the power distribution industry as "conductor slap" and is a very interesting effect. there are a lot of cool things that can be learned here.
Awesome!!! please do more explosive stuff vs electricity.
Great! Do more like this!!!
I love how the alternating current, starting at 5:30, shows the plasma coming and going off of each electrode. You can see the little blue rivulets of plasma fairing out, left right left right left right. If you ever do this again, I'd be interested to see a volt meter test tap vs. salt water results.
Love the high voltage video, fun!!! Wonder if you could make an arc under water? Might take a very small gap, but the spark ought to make bubbles.
Awesome bro
whoa the 1st air slomo actually looks like little sprites jetting up...
5:27 this is the polarity changing? Whow!
When I was fourteen I put sixty amp at two forty volts into a large Perspex beaker filled with water. It was like a thunderstorm in a jar. It was so violent the whole jar danced around. It was excellent.
Preaching Knowe I have been thinking about recreating something like that, thanks, I now just may do it .
Warped Perception I would not recommended it. I did this before health and safety had been invented. Like many of the things I did back then it was stupid and life threatening. So don't do it just because I did it and survived. Besides I described it for you so no mystery. Be safe
Great video and do some videos with electric and magnets and what will happen
Those snaps you have cant hurt you
There is a method to use electricity to burn some patterns into a wooden plate. I would think this loks very cool in slow motion. Anyway: keep up the good work!! I like your channel and you as a moderator is extremly entertaining too :)
Best whishes to you from germany
I'd love to see the wires just far enough away to stop them arcing and then spray water between them. Might take a bit of set up though to make sure it doesn't go somewhere else.
Nick Hadfield wow that's a fantastic idea, I think I'm going to have to try that out, if it comes out nice I'll have to do a video request and put your name on it. Thanks for the feedback
Wow, thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out!
I was just wondering when you guys would put a new video. Good job!
lol. thanks ! glad you like it, sorry for the delay, I had a lot of prep going on for the last 3 weeks, too much to list here but tomorrow i start my filming season for the next 8 months straight. filming 2 documentaries this year and a lot of these WP episodes as well as other tv projects. ton of work !
Wow!
The electrodes over glass shot is a very good example of a.c. This should be shown in schools.
Btw, I'd suggest you to use some safety equipments.
Kudos to you for what you do for science and us. :)
Thank you so much ....... this helped me a lot
several things caught my eye : that the arc path in air is not a straight line or shortest path between the wire ends & that we can see the arc of electricity in air but not in water.
i enjoy your low-key / just-try-something approach to experimenting now. and allow

this slow mo whater looks cool by herself xD
