36v PSU connected to a 1000μF capacitor and a large spool of wire as an inductor in parallel
I was wearing two pairs of sunglasses to ensure I'm safe, these arcs can blind you and can also burn your skin with UV and IR radiation which is why I only made brief arcs. Additionally I ensured there was active ventilation since the insulation on the wire was melting.
