132,000 volt breaker connections - removed live in an indoor substation.

I believe the arcing is from stray capacitance combined with the high voltages - a very small amount of current flow.

This live work is performed by trained experts with specific equipment.

The dragon living inside the switchgear was very, very angry. ⚡️🐉⚡️

Another bunch of new people on Mastodon, and I haven't introduced myself for ages (at least 8 months) so, here goes.

I'm somewhat of an ageing geek, Interests in High voltage, science, 3D printing, Programming, Retro Computing, Pi Picos and Extreme kits via (@ExtKits) .

I also organise the Gaussfest extremeelectronics.co.uk/notti meet up for Tesla Coilers and HV enthusiasts in the UK

Van De Graaff V2 kits are now back in stock, after a rush from

The kit is a small Van De Graaff capable of 40KV from a pack of 4 AA cells.

Ze krijgen een contract voor een album via lobbywerk van George bij dezelfde platenmaatschappij als Easybeats.
Hun eerste single nemen ze op met Dave Evans, maar leren dan kennen, waarmee ze de single Can I Sit Next To You Girl terug opnemen en ook hun magistrale debuutalbum . Hierop is meteen duidelijk dat het gitaarspel van de broers onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden is en dat zij de spil van de band zijn.
En in 1979 breken ze wereldwijd door met .

Utility Dive: "Why HVDC cables are poised to provide valuable alternatives." Moving bulk electric power over long distances is a huge part of adding renewables like wind + solar. In U.S. historically this has been performed by high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission lines, though high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission has much more often been deployed in many other parts of the world. Over long-distances HVDC actually cost-effective, 'can transport more power farther without the dielectric or capacitive losses experienced by AC cables over very long distances,' + can be deployed underground in a much narrower right-of-way (ROW) than overhead transmission lines. "Instead of a 150- to 300-foot-wide ROW for a high-voltage overhead line, an underground HVDC cable with similar capacity can be installed in a 10-foot ROW," though with a temporary 50-foot construction easement. 'Provides a system that is highly resilient against extreme weather, vegetation interference and potential pushback from local residential and commercial landowners.' While there are higher upfront costs of underground installation, factoring in lower maintenance costs, reduced wildfire risk + pure aesthetics argues for more support for underground HVDC, especially installed parallel to railroad lines + highways. Personally, I would be much more accepting of temporary excavation for underground lines than permanent high-tower transmission pylons.
