Smashing artwork! Good to see a new video from you. And yea, if I see you disobeying the _one-hand-behind-your-back_ high-voltage rule again, I'm telling Santa Claus.
Hahaha yeah the oven mitten isnt going to insulate high voltage! -- all he had was the distance the mitten was keeping- if something grounded sharply it would jump thru no problem at all! Dont use an oven mitten to save your life on high voltage and current setups my brother! Not good!
I figured the current would not choose to go through my gloves and through my body instead of through the electrolyte and into the other HV lead, but yeah it was a sketchy decision. Do you have any suggestions for alternative means of manipulating high voltage devices with more dexterity than strapping a lead to a PVC stick? I couldn't think of any others.
@@BackMacSci I'd wager he didn't do it because of you, but it's timely. Big Clive just posted a video about this. *I know you know this already,* but it bears repeating- this shit will kill your ass dead. One moment of complacency, one slip... ruclips.net/video/FBeSKL9zVro/видео.html
@@WaffleStaffel Just watched the video. Thank you for your consideration about my safety. I guess I have gotten complacent with the device over the years I have used it.
@@BackMacSci I don't want to lose my favorite red headed chemist. If you don't mind my asking, are you thinking about a career in chemistry or video production? You'd excel at either.
I used saltwater for the electrolyte on the wood! And that pepper mill you're talking about was an actual salt mill that i used to sprinkle salt onto the copper metal. The salt, vinegar and ammonia create a very oxidative environment which turns the orange, metallic surface, blue.
Very nice. Handling high voltage is nothing for me, but I like tinkering with copper, too. I also do that as a small business and sell my creations on local markets. There are a few examples for it on my channel.
Copper is so beautiful :) as a metal, its salts and all its complexes give beautiful colours! Very nice designs!
I totally agree! It's the best element.
Brilliant! Well done! Looks excellent!
Daaaaaaaaaang Daniel. Back at it again with the Science Vids. So good!
More to come, John!

I prefer Iodine as the most beautiful element. But copper is pretty cool too! From a retired Chemical Engineer. BTW, love your plasma experiments!
Thank you so much, that means a lot. And I love Iodine too, such a beautiful dark violet liquid and gas.
Looks great!
The part where you where holding both high voltage leads at the same time gave me anxiety, but besides that, cool video!

Interesting.
What are you using for electrolyte on the lichtenberg?
Thumbs up for the pepper mill copper sulfate dispenser- that's clever

@@BackMacSci very cool! Love the project

Yeah I saw!
YOOO BACK MAC SCI VID
Yoooo! New one coming soon too!
