SciTubeHD | Supercharging a Plastic Bottle @BrianDhvTinkerer | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
In this video, I use a 20 stage Marx generator made with 20 homemade plastic bottle capacitors each charged to 40 kV to generate approximately between 600 and 800 kV. The high-voltage is used to stress a plastic bottle to see if it’s possible to break down the plastic. However, instead of plastic breakdown, spectacular flash overs occur. Each flashover contains enough energy to burn the plastic if the bottle. Please check out the video and please don’t forget to like and subscribe if you want to see more of these type of videos. Any comments would be very welcome.
