A project log for Spark erosion: Detailed view, simple machinery

Have a close look at how Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) works and what can be achieved with a simple setup

I am currently working on a video that examines the properties of sparks.

Even though I could not really see a spark jump over under my microscope, the magnification gives a better idea of how spark erosion works.

Luckily I found my almost forgotten high-voltage generator in my spare box with which I can demonstrate some core properties of sparks:

Amongst other sequences, I could record a close up of eroding a wire:
