And with the wax on?

The gas ignitors that fire a stream of distinct sparks usually use a circuit that charges a capacitor and then dumps it through the primary side of a small high voltage transformer to create the spark.

Sparky video with posible flames idea: (since I'm too lazy to do a proper research and a quick google wasn't very helpful) What exactly is in gas stove ignition electrodes (I guess similar to combustion engine spark plugs?)

I wonder if it would trip an arc fault detector. My favourite was when Photonicinduction zapped a coconut fitted with a pressure gauge until it exploded.

I think that most would agree that really jamming your probe into the cheese really cranks up the sizzle.

Bill Kerr

I dare you to do that with Limburger. Without a gas mask.

I feel like electrocuting food is now Clive's niche. A very welcome one too.

Matt Tester

I may try zapping a cheese single at some point. I doubt it would have a lichtenberg effect though.

Big Clive

"Cheeseappointment" new word for the day.

Chris Muncy

Hey, if we're taking silly requests, has anyone asked you to do some Lichtenberg burning on an easi-single yet? :D

Mark Dennehy

How about a Greggs Vegetarian Sausage roll for the next victim- err experiment?

"It had to be done" So say we all!

Michael Thompson

Or DC? Stick it inside a mains-rated bridge.

Mike Page

Another thought...how about upping the voltage a bit? Would a neon transformer be able to make the Babybell go Boom?

Sean M

I vote vegan food for the next electrocution subjects! Why? No one in their right mind would eat it, so we might as well have fun with it

Sean M

Now I really want to see you electrocute pointless foodstuffs like an avocado and a block of tofu.

Well so much for cheese related brute force and ignorance. This is a dairy product. This experiment calls for a cattle prod on the skin. I'd like to order one Lichtenberg Gouda Bell please.

Jim

I really expected you to cut back and forth saying "Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off".

Mark Trombley

Do it like you did the pies, a copper conductor though the entire length of the cheese about 10mm apart.

3.30am on a Saturday night, winds howling in Scotland and Big Clive is still blowing up cheese for our pleasure
