    Looks like a glitch.

    I doubt it, its just the way the spark gets transmitted through the water and conductive wall.

    It wasn't possible in the previous version.

    Well things get modded between versions don't they? Some saves don't work properly anymore now.

    Its because when the spark gets to the end of the water it touches the conductive wall, which then takes it back to the wire...

    This also happens in 45.2. Just a result of the long conduction delays in saltwater and walls.

    That should definitively not bounce.

    Wow that is strange :S

    No I've had it before and I always assumed it was the wake of the spark. As sparks travel slowly in water they can be shot back through the wire. I have an example on my latest engines timer.
    Watch it by the switch just after the water:

    Its tiny as I added things to stop it from happening, but still

    Any chance getting this fixed?
