carbon arc torch, last try

so, here it is, the awesome carbon arc torch. I had trouble coordinating the arc strike and picture take time, and the positive side is quite melted. The carbon came from an EverReady D cell battery, and the rest was scrap, with the exception of the electrical connectors, which I bought from Roberts oxygen.
This website is really giving me some trouble. Also, it's really hard to capture the black body radiation, like glowing red with the camera we have here in the lab, but hopefully you'll get the point.
here are links to all the pictures in large format:
