I actually went and checked the minimum air gap to avoid arcing at 10,000V at standard sea level air pressure and it’s actually measured in millimeters.
Further, is the voltage differential there between parallel conducting lines or is it between the lines and the ground?
I’m really having trouble seing how a dry stick would cause arcing between two of those lines short of bringing them nearer than 4 mm in the first case, much less between one of the lines and the ground in the second case if its being held at chest level.
PS: Mind you, it does make sense with a stick which is not dry - since the water in it makes it conductive - but then the guy himself would be part of the conductive circuit, which kinda defeats the point of using a stick.
At 10kV, a random stick would be all it takes to start an arc. He knows what he’s doing.
I’m genuinelly curious were you got that from.

True, True… Hay who thought it was safe to run 10,000V Wire through a flammable overgrown jungle?
