New vid to show a few distinctions and to enhance the effect, WITHOUT high current pulse.
Another photoflash cap is LOW CURRENT at about 160 volts.

I modified and updated the circuit from Capacitor70

Here is a picture of my basic water arc circuit that quiman posted, this bad boy makes a very loud discharge even at 3/8" gap. The capacitor is rated at 430uF@250v, rectifier is 25A@1000v, I looped the DPDT relay to selfrunning mode but the arc became unstable due to low voltage I would imagine.This is a pretty neat circuit

I think you need to remove the bridge rectifier and capacitor.

the spark looks much more stable

hi allcanadian, woo... 430uF , I'm sure she would be quite feisty.
