Just fiddling with an old flyback today and tried to get some decent footage of the arcs. Voltage was particularly low (12v) delivered from a PSU, as was the current 1.6A, but I liked the way the corona and sparks were sometimes separate here, and the arcs were seemingly intertwined.
WARNING!!! HIGH VOLTAGES ARE LETHAL! Experiments undertaken by others..WILL BE entirely at their own risk! Safety precautions and appropriate safety equipment cannot be stressed highly enough.
