Electricity does not take the path of least resistance. It takes every path available, inversely proportional to that paths resistance.
When the voltage gets high enough, it will literally start ripping molecules apart in order to make its own path.
Also, nice meme, nerd.
It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available
That’s just a new game plus for electricity
AC + high voltage must be nightmare mode
I’m not an electrician enough to say, but if I remember it right, AC + high voltage is what Tesla generators use to generate all that fancy air zaps. That’s more high frequency than the consumer grade AC, and high frequency makes it somewhat safe for living things because electricity doesn’t flow deep into the body in that case.
Yep! Once you start getting into waves & fields all bets are off. High frequency electromagnetic radiation gets more and more wild if you back it up with enough power
Could be as safe as a radio transmission or as deadly as a submarine’s sonar pulse. All depends on the frequency and the power behind it (and where you direct it)
TIL sonar is deadly, huh.
High voltage be like: “Fuck you. I’m gonna make my own wire, with blackjack and hookers (and ionization)!”
Never mind carbonizing the path it took along the PCB so future breakdown happen at much lower voltages 😑
PCBs: ✅ Fucked Your shit: ✅ Also fucked Your day: see above
High frequency signals be like: wires? Where we are going we don’t need wires!
Everything is a resistor. It’s just a question of voltage.
Superconductors
Super bad resistor you mean.
Thank you for sharing this. I was enthralled from start to finish.

tcp vs udp
High frequency signals be like: conductors? Where we are going we don’t need conductors!
What’s the center of this copper wire even for, anyway? I’m going around the edges.
You’ll have that when your voltage overcomes the resistance of the air
Sometimes it happens even below the arc breakdown voltage via air… Air molecules are slightly less dense along the surface of a smooth flat surface due to molecular ‘bounce’, so electrons creep along the lower density of a surface.
Hence, creepage on a PCB.
Why is high voltage that hard to read?
zalgo used to represent the demonization of high voltage
it’s also a reference to an existing meme
