everyone watch this non conductive fluid video!

[Exahertz]

I ran a few tests using my Megohmmeter and got some interesting results, the spacing between the two leads was always about 1 inch apart and the liquid (except for one) was at room temperature:
------------------------------------------------------------------
First test was with regular unfiltered (city) tap water:

Tap Water
2.5K ohms, that’s pretty conductive Imo.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Next test was regular distilled water with no additives:

Pure Distilled Water
∞ Ohms or no conductivity. However, when I pushed the voltage up to 250vdc I got about 2K ohms at 1 inch apart.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The third test took me by surprise. And this adds one more reason Not To Use dyes. In this test I added just a few drops of G11 coolant to the distilled water (only enough coolant to slightly change the color of the water):

Distilled Water w/ G11 Coolant
1.8K ohms, that’s more conductive than tap water
------------------------------------------------------------------
So let’s take a closer look at that G11 coolant:

Pure G11 Coolant
792 ohms, not as bad as I was expecting. The mixture of h20 and g11 may be more conductive then the two individual parts
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now just for fun I whipped out some Ln2

Liquid Nitrogen
∞ Ohms even at 1000Vdc! perfect dielectric fluid and so much fun


Now those are some cold probes!

Oh, and Alex, hey its Grant. i got those CC lights you sent me and swapped the transformer and as you can see in the pics it worked perfectly! thanks man.
