Jacob's Ladder

            This is called a Jacob's Ladder because the arc rises to the heavens as Jacob did. The chicken stick I'm using creates an arc between the two copper wires. The heat from this arc is around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, since hot air rises, the arc is lifted up. I used a recycled microwave transformer to get the 2200 volts required to do this.  (I have been studying electrical theory for four years in high school and college. Do not try this at home.)
