Charles, The time I used 90v with 10 batteries snapped together the arching was very weak. This time using the 30v power adapter the arc was strong and as I mentioned the gold disintegrated. There was a fine gold powder at the bottom of the glass. When I switched to the 13.5v the arching was more like when I was using the batteries. I should mention that the adapter would turn itself off occasionally when it got to warm. As for the differences in voltages I assume the adapter has higher amperage accounting for the stronger arc. You can purchase 24k gold wire through your local jeweler. Also yes I had tyndal and checking a day later still had tyndal.

How odd, considering you did it with 90v earlier. Was there Tyndall? Also, what grade of gold wire, and where do you get it? Inquiring minds want to know!!!! Chuck Yes, sir, we've graphed the data.
