"Burning" a CD with High Voltage

Description: The thin layer of aluminum in a CD-ROM makes for some interesting means of destruction. Here, high-voltage AC (up to about 15,000 Volts RMS, 450 VA) is applied at the top (label side) surface of the disk, resulting in immediate dielectric breakdown of the lacquer coating and gradual destruction of the aluminum layer and underlying plastic as electrical arcs burn carbon tracks across the disk, which eventually meet midway, and finally result in a single thin glowing track of liquefied plastic across the disk, continuously heated by the electrical current until power is removed.

Badabinski ::: Favorites わかりました、これについてのろば、いかにか。訳者とても言語を書くことを公正でない使用ではなく学びなさい。ろば。Odio le scopate della madre come questa. Atto di Tney come i re di maledizione del dio del mondo, così pensano che possano spingere la gente intorno. E per ultima volta, non utilizzi un traduttore. Ho speso otto anni dell'università per imparare tutto il questa, e non molta cura per gli asini come voi che provate a fingerla. 07-07-31 16:08:59 __________________________________________________
Badabinski ::: Favorites Gott, ein welcher Esel. Ich kann nicht glauben, daß er etwas aus diesem heraus erhält. Ich, in aller Ernsthaftigkeit, ist bedeuten dieser Kerl irgendein Arschloch vierzig Einjahres, das im Keller sein Mutter lebt? Christ. Esel! 07-07-31 15:50:17 __________________________________________________
