the path of least resistance in this case is where the air ionized, when current starts flowing it gets hot, expands and raises, making an arc. So we could blame the weird shape to thermodynamic properties over electrical ones
Exactly what happened here! In the video the arch starts in a much more straight line, and rises as you describe as the air heats up.
Meanwhile in semiconductors: 5V is high voltage
this and potatoes are nightmare fuel in their own unique ways
Excuse me, what
If we didn’t eat them they’d eat us.
D:
Potatoes are so romantic
HAVE YOU SEEN THE HORRIFIC SHIT POTATOES DO WHEN THEY LOOK FOR NUTRIENTS
Noooo what the fuuuuuckkk whyyyy
'tato hungy
High frequency signal: where we are going we don’t need wires!
HF signal when piece of paper or thin drywall: I don’t feel so good boss
Anything’s a wire if you piss off the pixies badly enough.
::stares at image for five minutes just to make sure I’m not missing a metal-band logo reference in there somewhere::
Well, there’s no “insulator”. There are only semiconductors.
Shocking
I think the arc looks a little bit like two people.
I refuse to believe this isn’t an AT-ST.
