10Kv @ work,
Back fed pole pig vs. watermelon. Notice the Tesla halo/coil in the beginning.
This would make a great training vid. for linemen trainees. Scary stuff.

A high tech version of the watermelon roast, best done at dusk.

You bring your girl friend with you to the demonstration. After the watermelon explodes, you run out in the field and get a piece.
