RIP, tree branch.

*nature

Adding video to channels (Nature) - requested by ant.

I can't vote for this right now. I need to go outside and throw branches on the power lines.

craaazy. can someone * wtf this maybe?

It sounds like we're initially hearing the water in the branch boil, with a 60Hz hum undertone. When it bursts into flame the flame plasma has a much lower resistance than the branch and we get the jacob's ladder effect.

Pretty neat. I wouldn't advise kids to try this at home, but I don't expect kids would listen after seeing this vid.

Grab your chocolate square, some graham crackers and add a marshmallow to the end of the stick ... voilà ... the ultimate S'more =oD

S'more shrapnel, maybe...

But, but, wood is an insulator! We've been lied to all these years... run for the hills people... don't touch the trees! We're DOOMED!

Danger Danger, High Voltage!

What we hear are all the ants on that branch collectively screaming "don't taze me bro".

Ha!

Surprising how it didn't trip any transformer fuses. Around here, whenever a squirrel tries to go from one live wire to another while touching both, he gets fried, and everyone on that circuit loses power until they can replace the fuse. It doesn't keep pumping power through it.

Probably 3 phase industrial lines.
