  • "Jacob's Ladder"

    This was taken at a substation owned by Edison south of Boulder City, Nevada, near Las Vegas.

    The crews had been having trouble exercising the switchgear, and had begun taping work in this station to document problems, if and as they occurred.

    When the mechanical switch didn't open properly, the resulting phenomenon that you see is called a jacob's ladder. The arcing discharge continues until there is not enough current to continue "feeding" the growing arc, the arc is too large to sustain, or a breaker or other such safety device in the system trips. thereby cutting the current.

    • Outstanding!

      I could not explain better the Jacob's Ladder effect! Thanks man!

    Judging by the rural nature of the background, its probably a cross-country substation with a local feeder line. And its probably closer 786,000 volts, at a few thousand amps. It's most likely that spring loaded mechanisms that open the breaker, were damaged causing them to open too slowly.

  • hmm...

    PLEASE DONT READ THIS!U WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF UR LOVE.2MORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF UR LIFE.HOWEVER IF U DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS U WILL DIE IN 2 DAYS.NOW UV STARTED READIN THIS SO DONT STOP NOW!THIS IS SOOO SCARY.SEND THIS TO ATLEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESSF6 AND UR CRUSSHES NAMEWILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SOO SCARY CUZ IT ATUALLY WORKS!!!!!

  • lol

    and that guy wasnt running like hell? wtf lol

  • omg well...............

    looks real but the perseption of the intense voltage can cause something similar to that but i say good job

  • break down voltage

    yes air has breakdown voltage so dont think u safe coz u far away and yes voltage can be reffered to as pressure if u an amature and Humid air will have a much greater number of ions that can more easily facilitate a current through it.
    Also, the breakdown voltage of dry air is 30kV/2.54cm. that means at 30kv u can git fcuked if u 2.54 cm away from the source!!!! and yes i'm not a geek i jus know this stuff

  • fake???

    feels like it's fake... come to think of it.. if there's that explosion or something there... on the end part of the video.. the guy just walking normallhy.. he could have heard something in there and either he panick and run away or he'll stop and watch what's going on.. besides, how did this video taken?? anticipating that there's gonna be something like this would happen??

    • Dude

      STFU! Really, if you don't understand the subject on which you are speaking. Guaranteed you will end up sounding stupid. Like you just did!

      By B.C. 1216492842
    • STFU???

      look who's talking... well, i'd rather be stupid than someone who curse others cause of a comment... i said that 'FEELS LIKE ITS FAKE".... so what if i don't know much bout science... at least i use my language properly.. why not be like knickknack who comment and give information about this(Jacob's Ladder)... he's been helpful... and drinkgamer comment (and that guy wasnt running like hell).. same idea as mine... have life dude... just because i comment negative, u have the right to curse me and call me stupid,,,

      By mr_anime19 1216985236
    • Now,

      You sound even more stupid. Way to go retard!

  • you

    call that pressure?

    By Sweet_Licker 1216435176
    • no d i c k head

      CALL IT VOLT'S !

      By Nicky_knocker 1216437855
    • Actually .....

      Voltage is the pressure on the electrons that force them to tyraverse the conducter and overcome its resistence in this case the air. The bright light you may call an arc is the actual burnning of the air by the friction of the electrons in the air .

      By Ole Tex 1216443004
    • actually...

      voltage is the potential difference between two charged bodies. it has nothing to do with pressure. but a lot to do with force

  • The voltage

    goes up every time this clip is posted. A couple of months ago, it was only 100K. LOL

    By DaveBee57 1216430658
    • That's because people dont care...

      about facts anymore. Everything is about shock value.

      By Funkninja 1216458763
    • Ha ha

      Yea, I've seen it before too. Great clip though. You have any doubt that air has a breakdown voltage? Not anymore. :D

    • Break down voltage

      depends mainly on the humidity of the air

  • power

    How the hell was anyone there to video this? I'd be a couple of miles away

    By dachopper 1216425796
    • No danger

      to the videographer, if he dosen't get to close.(G)

      By Ole Tex 1216443451
  • lol

    its voltagenot pressure lmao

    By rebelbrett410 1216410105
  • 24 milions?!! nice sight !

    how much power was spent in these few seconds?

    By wahoomy 1216407742
    • Not that much

      more like a quarter million, give or take a couple hundred thousand.
