• Ever heard of those cool lightning patterns called Lichtenberg figures? Yeah, they’re made using high-voltage stuff and an electron beam in acrylic. Sounds fancy, right? I guess it’s a neat way to trap some spark in a bottle... if you’re into that kind of thing.

    Honestly, I’ve never tried it myself, but it’s probably one of those projects that look better on Instagram than in real life. Just imagine the hassle of setting it all up.

    But hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not give it a shot? Who knows, maybe you'll turn out to be the next scientific Picasso of lightning.

    You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an acrylic …read more
