2.2 MegaVolt Lightning - Lichtenberg Figures

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com

The interior of an 18" square x 1" piece of Plexiglas was charged to 2.2 million volts (MV) using a 5 MV particle accelerator. A layer of excess electrons become trapped deep inside. When discharged, the excess charge escaped with a bright flash and a loud bang. The hot, lightning-like discharge created thousands of microscopic fractures inside the acrylic, resulting in a branching "Captured Lightning" sculpture (or Lichtenberg Figure).

funny, it looks like a nervous system.

@rammsteinfreundsonne lighter has 10.000 volt in its sparkmechanixm, did you ever try it on your finger? did ou die? :D. Depend's on the amperage, if you touch the door having on something polyester and get a electric shock it can be over 1.000.000 volts.

@clyde49er

2,2 mV would be 2,2m long arcs!!!! impossibel, the guy have his hand in the near.....

Nice

[132000Volts]

Love the music, sounds so 80's

[clyde49er]

was that really 2,2 megavolt?

my nervous system is a fractal of the earth's rivers!
