Is electrical arcing dangerous

The team began with the PPD. They had very specific needs that were not supported by off-the-shelf commercial drones. Matt and the rest of the IHMC team, which includes John Carff and Daniel Duran, designed a built custom drones for the PPD. More importantly, they helped the PPD develop a drone program that addressed training, certification, proficiency, logistics and the full range of things needed to successfully operate drones in a safe and effective manner.  So far, the team has provided:

The PPD uses the NightHawk, which is an outdoor drone designed for endurance and payload. It has the ability to deliver life preservers or other suitable payloads as needed. They also use the Wasp which is designed to enter and navigate buildings in complete darkness to deliver a small payload.

An electric arc is a device where an electric current flows between two points called electrodes. The electric arc is the visible plasma between the two electrodes that is caused when the electrical current ionizes gasses. Electric arcs can be used in welding, lighting and plasma cutting. The term electric arc refers to both the electric current and the electrodes between which it travels.

Energy from an external source is needed to produce ionization for the electric arc. The electrical current originates from the cathode, and the electrons flow towards the anode, a process that creates an electrical discharge made of visible plasma. Electric arcs can have various different colors depending on the type of material from which they are made.

An electric arc has many practical applications where the current is used is used to supply heat. Arcs can also be used in welding, where the metal from one electrode can be used to form the weld. Since electric arcs produce a significant amount of light, they can be used in lamps and other forms of lighting .
