When They Erased A CD With 240,000 Volts THIS Happened

Whoa!

They decided to erase a CD with a massive amount of voltage and made a video. Was this a good idea? Maybe not and maybe yes but it is in the name of science right! If nothing else this is very cool to see. Here are some notes from the experimenter who made this video:

Photonicinduction Erase CD and DVD with 240,000 volts.
Be aware of Ozone being generated, doing this in a well ventilated area is advised. X-rays can also be produced under certain curcumstances with voltages over 50KV. Never stuff silly volts into a vacuum tube ! Current was 10mA, 20mA and 60mA

NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A PROFESSIONAL
