@peng lol yeah I mean they didn't tell us that he was going paragliding but they probably would have believed you if you told them a week before it happened too bad you can't time travel
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.
Fun fact: The reason that you get shocked when you touch electrified water, is because you are more conductive than water so electricity chooses your body as the shortest path to earth.
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...
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.
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. Jeffrey, what scares you about understanding the world around you?
I will agree with that, there must have been some materials in the distilled water for the high voltage test. You aren't going to get electron flow with that voltage in H2O.
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.
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-.
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.
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.
Meet Bavaria making glass isn't really useful or creative. I takes very high temperature to achieve it. You also need to use other elements other than silicon. Anyways interesting idea. Gave you a like 👍

Shawn King I'm afraid that may be too dangerous. Well, that's what I think since tap water and tap soapy water is conductive enough for electricity to flow through it. I'm not sure, but my guts do tells me that it's dangerous.
Anirudh Sivakumar but the electric arcs are formed because the high voltage electricity ionized the air and make the air conductive, and then current is able to flow through and the arc formed, but theres nothing for the electricity to ionize in vaccum...
TheZoukii123 no really it will save you it's a faraday cage so the current will travel around your finger and to the ground instead of though your heart
mercury is super conductive actually nothing much would happen look up a youtuber codys lab he uses mercury ALOT he even uses it as a switch for his vaccume chamber
Noob Fury a 9V battery can produce a 1A current at maximum, due to Ohms law you'll need a resistance of 9 Ohms at minimum. The human skin usually has a resistance of a few thousand Ohm
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. The oxygen end of the water molecule is lining up with the cathode and the hydrogen portion of the molecules are lining up with the anode. A sort of electrostatic force similar to ions :)
I'm pretty sure the high voltage is being conducted though the H+ and OH- charges water self ionizes into. While not being a significant amount I'm sure voltage that high could conduct through them.
roy k In a vacuum, however, we'd need an extremely high voltage to drive up water's autoionization equilibrium and evolve the oxygen to oxidize the copper. I'd hazard that Joule heating melt the wire before that happens. Of course, if we open the scope to a greater voltage, we might as well go for a quark-gluon plasma, no? The containment should be fun.
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.
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 ...
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. Edit: looked up what Lewl said and it appears to also be a contributor.
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. The highest temperature superconductor to date requires 133°K, or -141°C, while dry ice is barely -79°C
You should make a video about electricity conductivity over liquid nitrogen, Supposably since the temperature is low, there is almost no resistance for electrons to flow through so a small battery would be able to power up a light bulb like a regular power outlet. Maybe do an experiment where u connect a AA battery to a house light bulb and dip the connecting cables in liquid nitrogen.
There are materials called superconductors. They have zero electrical resistance. Some of them work at liquid nitrogen tempurature. You might be thinking of that. But the liquid nitrogen itself likely is non conductive. And also no matter how hard you try, even with zero electrical resistance, a 1.5 volt AA battery won't light up a 120 volt bulb.
Am I the only one who's curious as to why the electricity pulled the water up with the wire!!?? Please Like this comment so Grant will see it and answer my burning question!!!
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.
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.
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming yeah pure distilled water is not conductive. Which is why it's a big misconception. It's everything in it that's conductive.
yes its copper being ionized and burned by the electrical arc basic chemistry and spectrometer uses metal ion flame (color wave lengths) to identify elements and copper is green
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 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.
I don't think anything will happen. Pure liquid nitrogen is, well, nitrogen. It's not an ion or anything. If it weren't pure and there were certain contaminates in it, it probably could (that's why water can conduct electricity).
I'm not sure about that. There's two reasons nothing will happen: the wires will freeze up, or because liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen, just super cold.
Distilled water *is* conductive, "Pure" water is the bad conductor. The green parts of the arc is the copper from the wire. The water "sticking" to the wire is probably due to the diamagnetic nature of liquid water. Those bubbles are hydrogen. The light dimming is because the water's resistance acts like a potentiometer. You would feel a lot more than a slight tingle in a bathtub, 10mA is enough to lose full control of your muscles, 20 and you'll have trouble breathing.
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?
I am a retired Broadcast Engineer with 40 years in the television business. We routinely use amplifier tubes called IOT (Inductive Output Tube if you want to know) and Klystron tubes. These things are huge (about 4 feet tall and we have to use a hoist to install them), but I digress. These tubes are water cooled with distilled water (sometimes with pure ethylene glycol mixed in if the lines are subject to freezing temperatures). The water is pumped through the tube to a condensing coil where it is cooled and returned to the reservoir tank. The water is in a boiler section on one end of the tube and also in tubes through the body of the tube itself. The component of the tube that is in the water typically runs at 34,000 volts DC sitting in the water and the electricity does not go through the water. If fact there is a meter called a body current meter that measures how much current is getting through the water. If it gets too high the transmitter does an automatic shutdown. Typically 30 milliamps is allowed. We watch the reading constantly by computer and weekly manual readings. If the body current starts to rise over a period of time it is an indication that the water is becoming contaminated with something and becoming conductive. Then we have to flush the cooling system and put in fresh distilled water. We have run into cases where we purchased distilled water that would not work and we discovered that in spite of being labeled distilled water, it was only deionized water. I just thought some may find that interesting. I am really surprised that in this video his high voltage into distilled water was so conductive, as that is not our experience in the broadcast world at all. I don't have an explanation.
Brian Rentschler Rain water can conduct electricity. But now you will ask "lightning + rainwater = why no disaster ?" Well it's because rain drops are far apart from eachother .

Actually everything is conductive. If you have enough voltage to pierce the internal resistance.
+Riddim Dubstep true story
Just don't try it in your vacuum chamber or you'll produce X-rays.
Distilled water is conductive a little bit due to autoprotolysis: 2 H2O ------> H3O+ + OH-
Urh Cotman indeed but what I said applies to almost everything. Electrical tape, rubber, plastic, etc.
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.

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.
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 ...
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.
Edit: looked up what Lewl said and it appears to also be a contributor.
is this why the water "stuck" to the wires
WASDboss I think water molecules are polar so this triggers the substance of germ molecules therefore it denses the water
Electrical bill=$9,000,000
its draw is 0.8 amps or about the same as a seventy five watt light bulb
... that's suppose to be alot, right?
P.O.D no.
Is that supposed to be funny? Because it is not even close to 1$
Classified ahaha you're SO FUNNY
Does electricity flows through loquid nitrogen and dry ice also?
Well, anything "conducts" if you just *amp* up the electric field strength. Pun intended.
Except it isn't. Dry ice is pretty decent insulator of both heat and elecricity, in fact.
dry ice isn't a superconductor, it's used tu cool them down
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.
The highest temperature superconductor to date requires 133°K, or -141°C, while dry ice is barely -79°C
anything just cold enough will eventually conduct electricity (superconductivity).

Maico Carpio can you just watch the video
Zeesh Kebab mortercycle if I remember rhyme video they told us
You should make a video about electricity conductivity over liquid nitrogen,
Supposably since the temperature is low, there is almost no resistance for electrons to flow through so a small battery would be able to power up a light bulb like a regular power outlet.
Maybe do an experiment where u connect a AA battery to a house light bulb and dip the connecting cables in liquid nitrogen.
get bigger tweezers and long needle nose insulated pliers
Samuel Arcos For a AA battery? They have a voltage of 1.5V.. That's so low you can just touch both ends and nothing will happen thanks to Ohm's Law...
There are materials called superconductors. They have zero electrical resistance. Some of them work at liquid nitrogen tempurature. You might be thinking of that. But the liquid nitrogen itself likely is non conductive. And also no matter how hard you try, even with zero electrical resistance, a 1.5 volt AA battery won't light up a 120 volt bulb.
Am I the only one who's curious as to why the electricity pulled the water up with the wire!!?? Please Like this comment so Grant will see it and answer my burning question!!!
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.
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.
The water is ionized so it gets attracted I think. Otherwise it would not be conductive...
Will cutting the power cause the water to drop immediately?
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.
It's because of the solutes in the water that's conductive, not the water itself, which is why it electrolyzes
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming yeah pure distilled water is not conductive. Which is why it's a big misconception. It's everything in it that's conductive.
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming actually even destilled water is a little conductive due to the autoprotolysis of the water forming h3o+ and oh- Ions.

I think the green tinge of the electricity is the copper melting.
I believe it is. I'm not sure though..
yes its copper being ionized and burned by the electrical arc basic chemistry and spectrometer uses metal ion flame (color wave lengths) to identify elements and copper is green
Dave Bar Thanks for that elaborate explanation.
hmm it's not realy "molten" copper it's more like ionised plasma copper.
LoL that is what i said above ionized
Don't mix electricity and water! then......
*mixes electricity and water*
His last word are "lets try touching the wires underwater
Lol Lol oof
Try not to to laugh right
Cool
That would be some live performance lol
He's dead now
Why didn't he test the high voltage with tap water, I was looking forward to that...
The impurities in tap water is probably a bit too risky with high voltage... It might have exploded in his face lol
Xtra Moist Isn't that exactly what we were secretly wishing to see? 😁
If you had a high enough voltage could you pull up like a pond or something?
i'm replying so i can see the answer. CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS?
gravity is electric not an independent force like mainstream science claims... .
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
speedd13 The power of copy and pasting 😂
Midnight Rider some people are actually smart *cough cough*
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.

who's watching in 2019? and also. i miss him... i miss that the king of random guy... i felt horrible...

Add salt to the water and try the household current again. Also I believe you are pulling the water due to the diamagnetic property of the water.
Now that's what i call an Energy Drink

Will electricity flow through liquid nitrogen?
Like the comment so he sees it!!!
Okklohma TV how bout you go use google to learn how to spell Oklahoma correct.
No it will not as nitrogen is a covalent compound and covalent compounds never conduct electricity regardless of phase.
I don't think anything will happen. Pure liquid nitrogen is, well, nitrogen. It's not an ion or anything. If it weren't pure and there were certain contaminates in it, it probably could (that's why water can conduct electricity).
I'm not sure about that. There's two reasons nothing will happen: the wires will freeze up, or because liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen, just super cold.
these findings were
SHOCKING
You should’ve used salty water
Does this add electrolytes to the water?
BroKid45Playz seriously?
Yes
It would displace some of the metals that the wires were made from into the water.
Greg Solis-Reyes no it wouldn't.
😂😂😂
Distilled water *is* conductive, "Pure" water is the bad conductor.
The green parts of the arc is the copper from the wire.
The water "sticking" to the wire is probably due to the diamagnetic nature of liquid water.
Those bubbles are hydrogen.
The light dimming is because the water's resistance acts like a potentiometer.
You would feel a lot more than a slight tingle in a bathtub, 10mA is enough to lose full control of your muscles, 20 and you'll have trouble breathing.
Wow! That is dangerously cool!
Don’t play with electricy!

hollow wallow that rule I do not follow
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?
water is paramagnetic

I am a retired Broadcast Engineer with 40 years in the television business. We routinely use amplifier tubes called IOT (Inductive Output Tube if you want to know) and Klystron tubes. These things are huge (about 4 feet tall and we have to use a hoist to install them), but I digress. These tubes are water cooled with distilled water (sometimes with pure ethylene glycol mixed in if the lines are subject to freezing temperatures). The water is pumped through the tube to a condensing coil where it is cooled and returned to the reservoir tank. The water is in a boiler section on one end of the tube and also in tubes through the body of the tube itself. The component of the tube that is in the water typically runs at 34,000 volts DC sitting in the water and the electricity does not go through the water. If fact there is a meter called a body current meter that measures how much current is getting through the water. If it gets too high the transmitter does an automatic shutdown. Typically 30 milliamps is allowed. We watch the reading constantly by computer and weekly manual readings. If the body current starts to rise over a period of time it is an indication that the water is becoming contaminated with something and becoming conductive. Then we have to flush the cooling system and put in fresh distilled water. We have run into cases where we purchased distilled water that would not work and we discovered that in spite of being labeled distilled water, it was only deionized water. I just thought some may find that interesting. I am really surprised that in this video his high voltage into distilled water was so conductive, as that is not our experience in the broadcast world at all. I don't have an explanation.
Who else though he was going to get electrocuted

what about rain water?
Brian Rentschler Rain water can conduct electricity. But now you will ask "lightning + rainwater = why no disaster ?"
Well it's because rain drops are far apart from eachother .

Now do a fork in a light socket! Like if you agree!
I stuck a knife in the light socket once and I only felt a funny little tingle in my hand. Go try it and see for yourself right now. ;)
