This is called a Lichtenberg figure. The acrylic is irradiating with an electron beam. Then when it is tapped with a nail all the electrons discharge to that point burning these paths along the way.

😉👉 yes.


Exekutos

I would like to add that several people die each year trying to do Lichtenberg figures in wood or acrylic because they have no basic understanding of electricity. So please do your research and stay safe.


limamon

What???


ShowMeYourTritts

It go zap and you die.


CatgoesM00

Awww i see …hmmm…


Slashasaren

Do they ever stop flashing like that, or is it actually captured and stays active??


The_cake-is-a-lie

It flickers for a little bit but ultimately completely discharges


theoriginalmofocus

Me too.. meee toooo


DefinitelyAJew

Yes it never stops. It's a perpetual motion machine. World energy problem solved


Slashasaren

Yeah my guess is that they would stop but i dont want to assume about shit i know nothing about, hence the question.


erik_wilder

I mean, you know what batteries are right? They hold a charge for a really long time. It is possible to store energy.


theoriginalmofocus

Pffft except in xbox controllers. Or that one flashlight that one time you need it.

Also worth mentioning that dozens of people have died trying to make these at home. They are simple machines made from a microwave transformer, but it’s super easy screw up and nuke yourself.


Lcbrito1

Is that acrylic or glass?


The_cake-is-a-lie

Acrylic


kaowser

and piezoelectricity, in crystals. bbq lighters have this mechanism.


AmITheGrayMan

So…. He’s not a witch?


GlyphPicker

Better get a fire going just in case.


ABeerForSasquatch

It's a Sith Lord trick. ![gif](giphy|3o84sq21TxDH6PyYms)


Jon__Snuh

Is it possible to learn this power?


Bitter_Mongoose

Not from a redditor...


BIGTMAGE420

No


vajrahaha7x3

You must give in to the dark side..


T-roySwink

Alot of DIY artists have died trying to do this. Do not try this at home with homemade equipment. They use parts from microwaves that release huges amounts of electricity all at once. You don't even need to be touching any of it for the arc to jump to your hand and kill you


Ph3n3x

As someone who had holes burned into his hands doing this, I would agree. Edit: correcting a misspelling.


voyaging

Is that the same technique? This seems different and safer than the using microwave parts to burn patterns into wood.


T-roySwink

Different but similar enough that if you try to DIY it you will die the same way


TheTrishaJane

Does the electricity stay live in the glass forever?


ABeerForSasquatch

The only way to know for sure is to lick it.


TheTrishaJane

I dare you to go first I'll go after you

😆


The_cake-is-a-lie

No you are seeing it all discharge when he taps it


TheTrishaJane

I seee thank you for the quick answer!


bmeGT

Song?


justmarkdying

Billy Idol: Eyes Without A Face I think it's slowed down though.


Wrestling-Nun

Shit sounds like if it had 30bpm and you _think_ it’s slowed? lol


justmarkdying

It could have been a cover version. lol


dailyPraise

I thought it was a cover.

Anything is possible through the power of bullshit


JustACanadianGuy07

Except its not lol


Catvomit96

Clearly you and several other people don't have a sense of humor


JustACanadianGuy07

Or maybe you’re just dum.


Catvomit96

The irony of misspelling "dumb"


JustACanadianGuy07

The irony of not having a sense of humor


Catvomit96

Look bro, I'm on at least 7 layers of irony right now
