Comes from this calc.

So, we have a feat of electricity in slow motion from being fired via a Tesla coil gun.

Here are the unit prefixes btw. You see that "m" symbol?

On the bottom left corner in the video, there is a timer located there labeled "ms". That is the symbol for milliseconds.

Step 1: Electric Movement 1

  • At 7:35.755, the timer says +38.386 ms.
  • At 7:35.788, the timer says +38.421 ms.
  • (0.421 - 0.386) ms = 0.035 ms, or 3.5e-5 seconds passed.

Step 2: Electric Speed 1

  • Thumb = 26.5px = 0.07m (It should be around there. Use the length of your thumb for reference)
  • Electricity = 53px = 0.14m
  • Timeframe = 3.5e-5 seconds
  • Velocity = Distance/Time = 0.14m/3.5e-5 seconds = 4,000m/s; Mach 11.754

Step 3: Electric Movement 2

  • At 8:03.349, the timer says +172.218 ms.
  • At 8:04.750, the timer says +173.718 ms.
  • (0.718 - 0.218) ms = 0.5 ms, or 5e-4 seconds passed.

Step 4: Electric Speed 2

  • Thumb = 25.6px = 0.07m (It should be around there. Use the length of your thumb for reference)
  • Electricity = 101.65x = 0.278m
  • Timeframe = 5e-4 seconds
  • Velocity = Distance/Time = 0.278m/5e-4 seconds = 556m/s; Mach 1.634
