Nice post, I really like it.

Hard to see this end up in a commercial product, but it looks very impressive!

You may be suprised to know that is has already been used some years ago! See the (recently added) link in my previous post.

I didn't mean that this should get more attention in the serious sense, I was just puzzeled about how this didn't wow more than a handful of people.

Thanks for sharing, Puncher! I've learned something... again.

I really posted this thread as an interesting novelty but its seems it has been used in the past and is being re-investigated for use using more modern technology.

(maybe B&W like the Vengaboys)

Nice Wiki reference...but do you seriously expect me to believe were going to get some up-tempo dance-electronica throbbing out of a high-voltage arc across a couple of wires (or an arc-gas stream)?

I'm sure it can screetch a high frequency tune or two but does playing the "Vengaboys" or whatever really strike you as a way of peeling back the latest in cutting edge sound theory and to be taken seriously?

Dub-over.

This is beyond cool.

OK. Im sure I can get a couple of wires to arc-up while playing music on my Alba ghetto-blaster.

To add extra refinement and be clever :- add a microphone linked to a potentiometer and vary the voltage potential +/-1 volt according to the volume. Voi-la!

......and it is still 146 days to the 1st of April.
