Electrical fireball, Jesus.
 

This would freaky as ****.

That would be scary to witness

Wouldn't it just.

Is that real? :shocked:

Yeah.

What is burning? Like is the air around the cable on fire?

I think it is the cable?

My guess would be a transformer. But I'm only an electrician.

But how can the fire travel along the wire like that?

Well, transformers take down very high voltages, typically 22,000 volts, and if they fail, the wires that are meant to carry the domestic voltage to your door, 110v or 220v, may end up carrying 22,000 volts or more, and they can arc, like lighting, like you see in the video, ie, jump across the wires.

it makes me want to have superpowers.

fake imo

Nikola Tesla set the AC transmission voltage, from day 1 of AC transmission. 22,000 volts. The man was possibly the greatest genius of all time.

Do you want to spam a bit more?

a truly great American.

He was Serbian actually. Naturalised American when he emigrated.

well that sounds racist. so immigrants aren't REAL Americans? :nono:

Tesla was really a fascinating character. He had the idea of a killer ray gun, and power being transmitted through the ionsphere, wirelessly. And there's some fantastic Art Deco art, if you google his image.

No, they aren't.
They're better than that.

clearly you were all asking for it on plug so I gave :)

Better than that? wow, that's even more racist. stop trolling plzzz.

I'd be terrified that it would jump onto my house or I'd get electrocuted or something if I saw that

Mystery solved.
