Try slowly opening a knife switch with 100 VDC and watch the fire ball. With care you can sustain a very nice arc, right up until it melts down into a puddle.
My bleeder resistor is hard wired to test probes. When you make the connection to the charged cap, jam it on there and leave it for a few seconds. If you pussy foot around with it you can draw a nice arc, especially if there are bus bars in close proximity to each other. The ringing in your ears will help you remember to do it the right way the next time.
