The light bulb that I hit was vaporized, and there was no trace of that thing afterwards! The CD was the brightest of the explosions, due to the aluminum superheating and reacting with oxygen in the air.
I shattered one of my flashlamps, so that has put me on hold for the ruby laser. I order two to replace it so I can increase the energy a bit more. I'm gonna use the high current rated electrodes from my broken lamp to build a triggered spark gap so I can do other interesting high voltage experime
