high-voltage-experiments


We like high voltage experiments here at Hacked Gadgets. You may remember the cool Top 5 Old TV Hacks that we featured before. High Voltage Experiments are very dangerous but can be lots of fun if you are kept safe. Don’t attempt to simulate any of these experiments unless you know what you are doing!

Finally the last 3 videos shows what happens when you allow many MegaVolts of electricity to discharge in a piece of Plexiglas, some details of this process can be seen here and also here.
