Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.
Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.
I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.
I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job.
Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.
that just sounds like a weird interview.
“you’re qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought”
if true, you dodged a bullet

Oi! As an engineer I worked damn hard to trap that magic smoke in the machine only for you to let it out and try perfectly good components. Treat your machines with respect, they’re getting smarter by the day and they’re forgetting less and less!
“Danger! Danger! High voltage.

modern metal band logos are really getting out of hand smh
I don’t know too much about HV, but I thought that even the crazy path shown in the picture was still the path of least resistance. Is that wrong?
Dielectric breakdown, literally carving its own path of least resistance through the air.
It is still the path of least resistance but it created it itself. It ionizes the air creating a channel for it and then makes the leap, creating a conductive conduit of plasma/ions, as air currents move that around the path of least resistance can get progressively more nuts because there’s still a path through the ionized air.
Also High Voltage. This human body will do just fine.
slaps head of a man This bad boy can fit so many volts!
“Gee, this squishy skin-sack full of water sure has a lot of tasty electrolytes. Might as well use this as a conductor!”
Always fun stuff to work with, DI water or oil are great insulators, though one sucks to clean up if you spill it 😓
Just lather yourself up with that oil bb don’t let it go to waste
Diala works great for… Cooking… Steaks. I don’t know where to go with that because of how nope it is.
Hmm that sweet PCB taste

Oh hey, I design those. Though I design them so that there’s an incredibly low risk they do that.
Boorring, we want sparks ✨️
…and DEATH
I’ll see what I can fit into my next design

Ah shit.ya beat me to it. Dasus@lemmy.world
Oh. Well guess now you have to take me to a gay bar?

High frequency! It Mega hurtz!
Low frequency! It kill a hurtz!
Ultra high frequency! It giga hurtz!
Pretty much any high voltage high frequency thing really hurtz. It’ll kill you at different rates but it’ll hurt the entire time.
Looks like a mad scientist cackling a maniacal laugh.
