  • This video shows various clips of snow undergoing voltages as high as 150kV or 150,000 volts. The power is provided from an X-Ray Transformer. This is driven by my 20kW variac with the output being in series with an external current limiter. Thanks for watching and DON'T DO THIS!!

    1:15 what's that 50hz sound

    I like the way you edit in the 50 Hz sound for the arcs! Best of both worlds. I simply must get my xrt running again. Although mine probably won't handle the same power as yours haha merry Christmas Mr. Variac!

      Merry Christmas to you too sir! You should! Just be careful with the transformer. Thank you

    The snow legitimately doesn't melt under the steel meltingly high heat of the arcs or plasma; that's surprising. 😳

      I agree, I think it's due to heat absorption.

      @@VariacManiac Yeah but what surprises me about that is the fact that both snow and ice melt when either attempts to absorb heat

      The plasma was the best part in my opinion, glad you enjoyed it man:)
