Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Announcing YASMIN discussion on LIGHT

Fireworks, Electricity and the business of light

Hi all in this discussion.
Here is a link to an exploding wire image from the electrical engineers
i collaborate with
created at the university of Canterbury
New Zealand

http://www.insidescience.org/content/exploding-wire-makes-pretty-plasma-arc/708

I was wondering if there is a scientist willing to discuss
the science of explosions and how the vacuum I have been thinking
about enters space.
I suspect this vacuum is shared in both the art of fireworks and exploding
wire electrical discharges.
In exploding wire the vacuum is used as a path of least resistance. Is that
the same when a firework
explodes

regards
Kerry
