After observing accidental "captured lightning" effects in plastics we began exploiting the effect intentionally by a process very similar to the one in the video. I still have a few pieces. It's good to see that the process has been copied in recent times.

Could a smart person explain something to me? Is the acrylic sheet, pre tapping, holding a charge??
@nielschristianrandmomsen35782 жыл бұрын
In short, yes. Quite a massive one. This is possible because the acrylic is an excellent electrical resistor, meaning that it efficiently stops charge moving around inside it. The small prick of the (grounded) spike that you hit the side of the block with then creates an easy path of least resistance for all the charge to escape the acrylic and all the charge almost instantaneously flows from the acrylic and into the ground. The real difficult part is getting the charge in there in the first place, which can only really be achieved using a particle accelerator, which shots electrons at almost the speed of light into the acrylic block. Some of these electrons will get stopped by the acrylic, and trapped in place due to the high resistance of the acrylic. But without a particle accelerator, its not really possible to make these.

@barcodenosebleed54852 жыл бұрын
It's not actually being broken, just mechanically 'shocked' (as in very forcefully tapped) at a single, small point. From the site: When mechanically shocked, a dielectric material that is highly stressed by an electrical field breaks down, explosively releasing energy that was previously stored within the electrical field, causing larger molecules to break into into smaller, gaseous byproducts. It's an inherent property of the acrylic that after pretreated by the static electricity, a strong tap is what initiates the discharge in the particular way that creates these figures.

@KittyBoom3602 жыл бұрын
@@PokeNebula For one, plasma science is relatively new and so can help progress science toward our next paradigm shift. It's just normal that future science will always look back and kinda laugh at old science. It's just hubris to think we actually have all of the right answers today. And two, experiments with plasma actually better fit many observations. For example, a plasma welder on rocky material will leave behind features such as perfectly circular cratering, as well as craters on rims of craters, which we see all over the moon. There are no experiments which demonstrate that objects impacting from any angle will leave behind circular craters in rock, none. The closest we have to any experiments on this issue use loose material like sand, not actual rock, relying on theory and not observation about how rock would behave under such extreme impact velocity. I prefer demonstration and observation over mere theory. Also, we've never actually even observed a naturally occurring "impact" crater be formed. Objects that enter our atmosphere experience an electric discharge that obliterates them before ever reaching the surface and the debris never leaves a crater. So, basically, there's zero actual science that craters are formed by impacts. I suspect that today's crude theory of simply smashing objects together to explain stuff will give way to a more sophisticated understanding of nature in the future. Consider too, that the EM force is magnitudes stronger than the force of gravity. So ignoring it is kinda ridiculous. It's actually been a running joke for many years how astronomers and cosmologist never really consider the EM force and actually are far from experts on it. The study of EM is more like an undergrad afterthought that is forgotten. Meanwhile, there's a growing community of actual experts from fields like electrical engineering and plasma science who are starting to think the EM force is the dominant force for explaining most of nature, especially after you realize that pretty much everything we see in the cosmos is in the ionized plasma glow state and thus should be ruled by the EM force. We even often just forget everyday things like why isn't gravity pulling you to the center of Earth? Well, because the EM force prevents it. It's what makes things seem "solid," so to speak. And, there's some pretty good theoretical arguments that gravity is actually just a result of objects forming a dipole and thus actually just being an aftereffect of a structured EM force object, as well explaining the other two forces so that there may really just be one force, the force. Indeed, having four forces does seem a bit odd when you think about it.
