    Actually everything is conductive. If you have enough voltage to pierce the internal resistance.

      Distilled water is conductive a little bit due to autoprotolysis: 2 H2O ------> H3O+ + OH-

    • @drkastenbrot
      @drkastenbrot 7 лет назад +18

      Riddim Dubstep no. thats not how it works.
      arcing over means that the potential is strong enough to send electrons out at such a high velocity that they go through the insulator.
      it does not have anything to do with resistance.

    Actually, distilled water does conduct electricity, just not enough to power that light... Even if it is pure water, distilled water actually has ions of hydrogen and oxygen dissolved in it. De-ionized water is the only non-conductive water...

    • @lucasjanson4461
      @lucasjanson4461 6 лет назад +24

      Additionnaly, water is a very special substance because it is the only chemical bond which is polarized, a polar covalent bond. This gives water the ability to separate other substances into ions and allows it to be attracted to your wires.

    • @lastlight4252
      @lastlight4252 6 лет назад +14

      Well, water is not the only polarized chemical bond in nature, but it is probably the most abundant and most important one. As Noss_Silver and Shivali Sahu said, even "pure" water has H+ and OH- ions in it. ("Oxygen" normally is O2, and not ionic or polarized, so that is not what we are talking about). I am not sure that one can completely "de-ionize" water for more than a brief period of time given the equilibrium ratio between the H2O molecule and the disassociated H+ and OH- ions, which typically is described by a disassociation constant. Also, H3O, or hydronium ions, are part of the equilibrium contstituents, albeit briefly.

    • @matiasbpg
      @matiasbpg 7 лет назад +10

      Pdizzle D neither destilled water not air is conductive, but they are dialectric. what high voltage does is to polarize a dialectric material making it conductive, the same as when you put a magnet in touch with a screwdriver and it develops magnetic poles while in touch.

    • @MRMEGATUBER1
      @MRMEGATUBER1 7 лет назад +6

      Distilled water can conduct electricity, but not as much as water with ions inside, this because water exist as an equilibrium between OH-, H+ and H20. Obviously it's not much, at pH=7 we will have 10^-7 mol of H+ and OH-.

    • @kylemorgan3399
      @kylemorgan3399 7 лет назад +10

      Instead of thinking about whether a material is conductive or not, it becomes helpful to think about how resistive it is. After all, ALL things can be conductive at certain voltages. Voltage is a unit to describe electromotive force (EMF) and is counteracted by resistance measured in ohms. There is no unit for conductivity because it is relative to the voltage that is applied. Even specially engineered tools designed to be insulated from electricity become conductive above certain voltages.

    • @EdwardTriesToScience

      No, is you look closely, the hot arc was burning the insulation, which from my experience, high voltage wire insulation burns green. The arc is not hot enough to vaporive copper.

      John Chestnut, I have tested the copper theory, and no, it doesn't work, so I lit wire insulation on fire, and that provides the green. You probably don't have any experience in chemistry or high volatage.

    The water stick to the electrodes due to both its cohesive attractive forces and the fact that it is a polar molecule helps as well.

      Regarding liquid nitrogen, it is non-metal and the N2 molecule is non-polar, so there won't be conductivity. Same goes for the CO2 molecule.
      Dry ice isn't cold enough for most current superconductors, which generally still require either liquid helium, or liquid nitrogen at best.

    You should make a video about electricity conductivity over liquid nitrogen,

      @speedd13 7 лет назад +4

      the practical answer is no. Because water is polar (magnetic on a molecular scale. This is also what creates surface tension) this seems like an extension of the experiment where you redirect a stream of water using a wire (look it up). But it seems to be limited by its own surface tension. So once you get bigger than this the effect will likely be less visible. The intrinsic magnetic fields of water just don't seem strong enough. That is the short answer

    The electricity improves and strengthens the water tension which is why you can stack water on a penny. If the water tension is high enough, you can make water float in big bubbles. The reason that happens in space is because empty space is a lot less dense than water and the water can easily float around in droplets and stay together but on earth gravity soon ends the fun.

    • @localhost123456
      @localhost123456 7 лет назад +2

      The enhancement of the normal stresses at an interface between two fluids is due to the difference in the permittivity (and consequently the strength of the electric field). This manifests itself in the form of a larger normal stress which looks like augmented surface tension. The electrical stress is called the Maxwell stress and is a research topic for electrohydrodynamics ...

    • @Kageitenshi
      @Kageitenshi 7 лет назад +4

      Not really, water molecules are polar, so they will have a small net attraction to strong electromagnetic fields. Neon sign transformers are usually half-wave rectified, so one end is positive and the other neutral, allowing for the molecules to align and line up without disruption.

    • @himynameisjakeable
      @himynameisjakeable 7 лет назад +22

      MRLASER1231 This may due to the polarity of the water molecules. Water has partially positive charged Hydrogen in its structure which was attracted to the negative electrons passing from the wire. This could've caused adhesion between the wire and the water molecules and hence layer of water is lifted. This is similar to surface tension and how insects can stand on water.

    • @gooddouble2
      @gooddouble2 7 лет назад +6

      Maybe it has to do with electrostatic charges attracting each other. If my school knowledge doesn't fail me, water contains small ammounts of OH- and H3O+ besides the usual H2O. So the negatively charged OH- is attracted to the positively charged cable and the positively charges H3O is attracted to the negatively charged cable.

      It's because H2O is a polar bond, meaning that there is a slightly negative charge around the oxygen and a slightly positive charge around the hydrogen. Since electricity is the movement of electrons, which are negatively charged, it will attract the water by the hydrogen end of the water molecule.

    Can you perform the same experiment with Coca-Cola? I'm curious how the sugar will react to the 10KV. Thanks for the awesome content Grant!

    Doesn't the water rise up because of the magnetism of the wires with currents flowing through them, or is it because the water is temporarily part of the circuit?

      Don Field it will because water will pick up ions and become conductive

      if you pick up a phone immediatle after a dunk in tap/clean water, turn it off, ant dry it sure.

      if it's pure water, it won't. this is how they clean circuit boards that are very fragile.

    The thing is, there's no such thing as a non-conductive material, it's all about the resistance each individual material has to let electrons pass through, that's why with enough voltage, the electrons can "overwhelm" the material's natural resistance and still pass trough. And also electricity will always go for the less resistance path, that's why tress still get hit by lighting even though they are made of wood, but in comparison with the ground, the tree has lower electric resistance so the lighting bolt goes to the tree before going into the ground.
    Or so I think.
