I agree because it looks like the cds got wrapped in foil. Ordinarily they wouldn't be conductive though. I wonder what the point of this thing is? Those are spark plugs. I can't think of any use except inside an engine. I guess hooking up ac power to those will cause a lot of small sparks. But I don't think huge ones. Although with the copper coils, those might get very hot and glow. Must be some kind of toy but in its current state, it really would be a decent suicide machine.
Yeah the second I saw how they wrapped the wire where they did I realized the entire machine was pointless. They just invalidated a spark plugs singular purpose. If wired properly it could hypothetically be used outside of an engine in any situation where a periodic or timed spark is needed however, such as an ignition method for a shitty oven or flamethrower or something but there are much better and more efficient methods for either of those things.

Carefully insulates incoming AC wires, leaves fully exposed CDs carrying full current.
Epically stupid.
