Exploding Wire Experiments
Experiments in using very high pulsed power as an art form, and just to blow stuff up.
An electrical charge is slowly accumulated in a device capable of releasing the entire charge amounting to millions of Watts of instantaneous power for a very brief instant. This immense surge of power is used to completely vaporize a thin metal wire or other conducting path in a violent explosion, leaving deposits of metal and other chemical compounds in a rainbow of colors and iridescent patterns. The entire pattern is captured in less than a thousandth of a second, and reveals an amazing amount of detail not captured by these photos. |
