    There is actually a very handy image search feature in the phantom software that would have helped us scan the images for significant changes in pixel values and found the arcs much quicker at 1,750,000. Just need to connect the phantom via ethernet to a laptop. Guess who forgot their usb to ethernet dongle for their USB-C only laptop? Heyoooooo.

      Well, you get ionisation switches that go into the MHz repetition range, used for some military radar systems, so expecting less of air is no problem. Also some gas filled tubes would be quite happy oscillating at over 30MHz, so the gas ionisation must be capable of being quenched as fast.

      Doing some calculations… the speed of light would just be going about 4.29 km/s in that clip, which is still incredibly fast to our eyes.

  • @Deper91
    @Deper91 Před rokem +363

    Electrical engineer here; My guess on why the marx generator lights up all at once would be that Mehdi IS technically correct, they are filling up from left to right. However, once the first stage is fully charged, my guess is that the impedance between the two discharge nodes is effectively infinite (acting as a perfect open), because there is another path of least resistance within the circuit, going to the next stage capacitor. Once that next stage capacitor fills up, rinse repeat down the line until you finally fill up the very end one. When that one fills to its max capacitance, there is nowhere left for the current to 'freely' move, so everything 'overflows' all at once.

    • @wildavis3016
      @wildavis3016 Před rokem +12

      New student here, I thought a capacitor was an open? How come a capacitor fills up? If the impedance makes it effectively an open, I get how the current goes through the short, but if the short leads to another capacitor (open), how is it a short path? Thanks
      (Again, just took circuits 1 so I might be missing something)

    • @Deper91
      @Deper91 Před rokem +41

      @@wildavis3016 You are correct, in a DC system, a capacitor will eventually behave as an open, once it receives enough charge to 'fill it up'. Once full, the capacitor denies any further charge, acting as the perfect open (infinite impedance), forcing all the current elsewhere (down the line to the next sets of capacitors). However, if there is sufficient enough voltage potential between the positive and ground/negative sides, the the voltage can actually break down a medium (in this case, by ionizing the air between the two discharge nodes). This arc acts as a very brief short, which totally drains the capacitors, resetting the system.
      This is why capacitors are only rated to certain voltage limits, as exceeding these thresholds will cause this same breakdown within the capacitor itself, resulting in the wonderful "pop" we all know and love Mehdi for.

      Fact of the matter is, it *must* be a cascade effect, but much like glass breaking, propagates so fast that it is all but impossible to see the behavior.
      The giveaway here is that all the gaps have to "close" for anything to jump out of the output (as these are series switches)... But clearly one has to reach potential before all the others, if for no other reason than there will be slight differences in the gaps.
      My guess here is that it just so happened that the end gap was the closest, but it could have been anywhere in the chain. Once the first one goes, the others are immediately "over" and fire off in an order relating approximately to the gap sizes.
      This may actually be random in appearance, *IF* one could record all of the time in between. Obviously this is extremely difficult.
      Once they are all bridged, the output goes hot and an arc is ready to jump if something is close enough.
      You'd therefore see the output spring to life after all of the chaos in the gaps is resolved and they are all conducting.

      It's crazy how much physics can be checked/confirmed from using cameras to see this- though as we see, you do need the cameras that can hit the nanosecond/billion frame per second range to play with lightning, (electricity), just like observing light propagating. We REALLY need you ELECTROBOOM and the Slow Mo Guys to get together and just check/mythbust things about both light and electricity- at the nanosecond scale range. It's a shame equipment that can keep up is so rare lol, at least at this point in time, you need other than a phantom to get to that nanosecond scale range. I really hope we get more opportunities to see these happenings like this resonant frequency example- it's one thing to know it's happening, it's another to be able to "see" fast enough to witness these nutty aspects of physics

    Do you guys remember the Veritasium riddle on how long it takes for a lightbulb to turn on, if the cables are extremly long, but the bulb sits next to the source? If your camera records at 1,5 million FPS light would travel only 200 m during two frames. So maybe if you use a km of cables and lamps that switch on incredibly fast it could be possible to actually visualize this effect. For example: 3 lamps (or any other device visually reacting on current), one at the middle of the cable and one at the start and end, but all are equally distanced from the source. All should switch on at the same time.

      Electroboom already did the timing with oscilloscope.

      I would like to note that they would all turn on at the same if you count 'dimly lit' as being on. They'll only go fully on when the electricity gets to the lamp through the wire.
      I can't say anything about the ability of the Phantom to capture this though, but I'm concerned that the difference in brightness may be too much for the Phantom to show what is happening. This may make it seem like nothing is happening in the lamps until they all fully turn on one at a time.
      If they're able to film with different exposure settings then they could film both stages individually which would show how much or how little difference there actually is in the amount of power the lamps receive :D

    CPU cache operational delays are measured in nanoseconds (billionth, 10^-9) and a clock cycle on a CPU is 1/3 to 1/6 a nanosecond nowadays, reliable on/off switching between the transistors , the gates they form and the operations those form. Quite nuts.

The arcs following the same pattern in the air due to the heating of the particles within the trail also explains the tonal nature of the tesla coils noise that it makes when discharging. You could hook up a MIDI clock output to the frequency regulation, effectively letting you play MIDI music through the tesla coil!

    @user-wr5yv6os9h Před 2 měsíci +1

    I’d like to argue that the reason you see the last arc flash before the rest is because of the speed in which the electricity bounces across those first several electrodes. The visual of the flashes occurred for the first few only after the last node zaps and the current was completed. It was the last to have received the electrical charge on the line therefore it producing the faint charge until it brightens like the rest of them. You gotta think… the other flashes were almost instantly bright, the last one took a second to light up like the rest. The fact that that charge was moving so fast through the first few nodes didn’t show the visual flash until the current was completed on the last lap. Thats (in my unprofessional opinion) a pretty reasonable assumption.
