The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Can a high voltage arc be drawn underwater?

Question by Joseph C: Can a high voltage arc be drawn underwater?
I have been doing alot of experimenting at school with electricity, especially with the “Cold Fusion” process which to me is fascinating. I have wondered if an HV arc can be drawn underwater using a HV transformer (neon/flourescent light transformer) using around 9K of volts with 35 miliamperes.
As the anode and cathode I will use tungsten electrodes with
Thorium content.
Using a conductive base or solution (baking/bicarb soda I figure is safe) would help I presume. So, can it be done and if so, what would be the pros and cons.

Thank you in advance.

Why? you like to make a Hard Water ! ask any nuclear technology experts.experimental base is scholastic but exploring it’s process needs Government approval.
