The tingling sting of a low-voltage current made his heart leap. Then he smiled grimly. He touched them to each other. Dot-dot-dot dash-dash-dash dot-dot-dot. S O S! If there was anybody in the laboratory, that would tell them. His hands stung sharply. Someone was there, ringing the phone! Evelyn came toward him, her face resolutely cheerful. "No hope, Tommy?" she asked.
That was a high-current, and low-voltage arc. Couldn't you tell by the sound that no great voltage as atomic voltages go was smashing across there? If we were getting atomic voltage and power there'd have been a different tone to it, high and shriller. "Now, did you take any readings?" "What do you think, man? I'm human.
I calculated the temperature would be about 750,000 degrees. What is happening is that a stream of low-voltage electrons cathode rays in great quantity are meeting great quantities of sextuply ionized oxygen. That means that a nucleus used to having two electrons in the K-ring, and six in the next, has had that outer six knocked off, and then has been hurled violently into free air.
