Meeelty
Hee. Hee. Heehee. Low-voltage carbon arc. 25V ~15A AC transformer. Mechanical pencil lead, quick-charred in advance. Alligator clips. Hee. Zzzzzzzzzt!
Cut through glass in seconds. Make sulfury fumes from epsom salts. Vaporize table salt. Mmm, that smells chlorine-y. Heehee. Hee.
Forgot how powerful those can be. I think I need welder's goggles... *_*
Dangerous? Meee? NOooooo....
(Interestingly, nonconductive, non-gassy substrates seem to stabilize and much extend the maximum arc length, already dramatically boosted & stabilized by carbon relative to metal electrodes. Glass and table salt get impressively melty. I do wonder what the mechanism is... easy-bake plasma ions? heat-retention? too bad I don't seem to have handy any chips of silicon or other nonionic, nonconductive, high melting point, nondecomposing substances handy. I do recall years ago trying crystalline quartz, but I seem to recall it just shattering into pieces. That all being said, I still don't know why carbon works in the first place, aside perhaps from its high melting point and low thermal conductivity compared to metals.)
Hmm... maybe I shouldn't be breathing that stuff in, either. c.c
