An outdoor recording (although it sounds otherwise) of an idling train engine. Includes electric spark-like clicking and a slightly muffled alarm. Not a subway car or an electric powered locomotive or trolley, but the clicks are similar to that produced by an arc welder.
This recording is of me getting ready to do some simple welding. In this you will hear a collection of noises which are me moving pieces of metal around and getting placement correct for each piece. As well you will hear the activation of two exhaust fans and a couple tacks of the welder.
This is a tesla coil with a discharge that sounds muck like an old style 'stick' arc welder. For the technical it is a tesla coil that uses a static spark gap, while high-voltage-discharge-2 clip uses a rotary gap giving a different sound altogether. Recorded at a display i did at kew museum london in 2012.
