Trap Lightning in a Block

1:27 uhmazing

[fordham237]

its  amazing wonder how they found out how to do it

[bayleynator]

Instant plant :D

[lilacgurl]

The "block" is actually acrylic. The acrylic is first charged, and then when hit with the hammer&nail (which is charged) the electrons are discharged within the block giving the block that appearance. Something along those lines anyhow.

It's not trapping lightning as such.

[RabbitMB]

@lilacgurl but it is visualising the process of an electric discharge, similar to the one that goes on in capacitors, and yes, you are right, its not trapping lightning at all.

Tänään muuten ukkosti aamulla.

@Jounazs Totta, herätti perkele.

[KMarketLeet]

@Daothes saatana.

I have read that lightning is a fractal and It looks like it in this video!!!

[TheNilvarg]

Why'd the lightning occur before the hammer struck the nail?

[jedihunter176]

Maybe because lightning is ridiculously fast?

[joesakik88]

@TheNilvarg because its not the hitting part that does lightning, its when the hammer is release from the nail that the spark occur and travel through the block and become imortalize

im pretty sure you dont even have to hit, hitting it might just be the thing to pierce the first layer so the bolt travel in the block, piercing it before might do the job as well as hitting it

I could be wrong though

METAL

[sweetness2345]

lolwut

[Gtyyler]

that was cool

[MisfitBoy669]

what is the thing u hit?

[ErichoTTA]

A block.

[DeEp1337nESs]

wait does the lightning stay there forever?!!!! i want one! that's freakin' sweet!!

[Hakidia]

Well ya...he kinda broke the block lol

[Macka007]

They aren't cracks from the impact, the impact just releases a shockwave which allows the electrons to become free.

The electrons are "carving" the path that you see.

[Hakidia]

I know that >.> plus that was reply -_-

[PentagramSchematic]

I want one for my room.

[letterbetween]

???????????????

[Dudhwalla0514]

It looks like a fern!

[royb673]

or mountains or rivers

its the fractals of nature!

[myiqisinfinity]

!!!

[lilgarrett]

this is in no way free electricity...basically its plexi glass charged to an extreme voltage then the nail and hammer are releasing the electrical charge thats inside the plexi glass...they most likely used a particle accelerator to charge this piece of acrylic up....what a waste of electricity....we could have used those 2 - 5 million volts just to fry someone on death row...

[themanfromthehouse]

I could fry someone on death row with 230 volts

[m4lvolio]

or just hit the fucker with a hammer

[robind]

lol

[IAmBiased]

Oh, sure.

And that would make a lot more people happy.

[jmk0309]

free electricity hmm? lol that would be pretty cool if they did that only alot bigger so it could try and make electricity stay in for alot longer

[blackbass1980]

bella marda

[MoundOfManure3]

that is AWSOME!

[KKM7]

Amazing!

[BillyChance007]

that is very cool!!!

[neji457]

wouldn't it explode the glass.

[neji457]

wouldn't it explode the glass.

[yotoyouyo]

it's plastic

[bgarzam]

wow

[ojosperdidos]

¡Amazing!

[TheLostGuitarist]

very cool!

[brissychic]

looks like a plant or branch its amazing
