Awesome!!
How did he manage to produce arcs that long without sitting in low-pressure neon? Don't you need like megavolts to create an arc like this in regular air? |

Its called A/C electricity.... Which Tesla discovered and invented for the express purposes of finding a safe electricity for electricians/people to "handle".
Tesla did a lot of fun things with it, once he discovered it, and gave it away for free.
Never quite cracked its wireless transmission over long distances though, though his short distance wireless transmission is being used to for induction recharging purposes of electronics thesedays.
He also invented the radio as well, contrary to popular opinion.

That's true, he was a quiet genius. This is why he is not very known outside the circle of physicists. This and the fact that Edison pretty much made it a mission of his life to thump Tesla into dust. Yes, Edison was an asshole – another little known fact.
Anyway, it still does not answer my question: to produce an arc that long in air at normal pressure, you’d need something like tens or even hundreds of kilovolts. I wouldn’t ask this question if the guy were inside a bubble of thin neon – but he seems to be out in the open.

tens and hundreds of kilovolts are not particularly hard to produce... |

the current goes through the conducting mesh suit I presume |

The chain mail suit acts as a Faraday cage sending the current around the outside. The same principle applies in a thunderstorm, safest place is inside your car as it too behaves like a Faraday cage.
If the current went through it blokey inside would be dead.
Did you take a day off when the science teacher at school dealt with this stuff?
