pole dance... you left out the word dance there. ;-) Electron flow is to the negative pole. So "going from the positive pole". But this is a field thing as there is no current conduction (in this non-conductive oil) until first string contacts the ring. Only an attractor (the negative ring) and a source of free or otherwise motivated (high EMF) electrons spraying forth (or wanting to) from the Positive pole (when they move). In the case where they place the beads at the edge, there is still no current flow, only huge attraction and that is enough to actually "pull" "the rope" of beads from the attractor (ring), toward the source (wire) until contact. They probably grow slower from the ring wall toward the point source than the other way. Unless arc flash gap plays a part then the span changes.

[@Galileosays]

The balls start to follow the nearly radial electric field, that is imposed by the outer ring and the center electrode. As the structure emerges, the radial field get disturbed by the local field around each connected ball. Slimemolds are probably attracted by nutrients. So one can expect that the same pattern will emerge when there is a nutrient concentration from the center to the outside.

We trade efficiency like what’s happening naturally with these reactions for intelligence. Really cool stuff.

[@craigcutler6919]

moving electricity creates a magnetic field and it grows stronger the closer it gets to the positive or negative terminals which causes all the metallic balls to hook together... this is pretty useless and it looks like the dude is half assing an assignment or his "research". With the voltage he is playing with there is already an electrical connection from the positive to the negative through the air.

[@herseem]

It's electrostatics, one of the 'strong' forces (in physics there are 2 strong forces and 2 weak forces. Electrostatics is one of the 'strong' forces). It's the same thing that makes your hair stand on end when you rub a balloon against it (when your hair is clean and dry and not greasy). Because of the high voltage difference between the positive and negative sides of the circuit, and electrons spreading down, the balls become charged and are attracted to the negative side of the circuit, but repelled from other balls that are positively charged. So when balls reach the negative side of the circuit they lose their positive charge and are attracted together, and attract other single balls that are still positively charged. But being very negatively charged also makes balls from different branches of the negative circuit repel, so branches tend to stay away from each other. It's the changing state of the charge on each ball that causes everything to move until it reaches equilibrium

[@herseem]

The balls are conductive, which means electrons are able to move around the metal lattice. Since there is a very strong electric field present, the electrons on each of the ball's surface position themselves closer to the positive electrode. If each of the balls does this exact same thing, you end up with a set of dipoles in the dish. Since the positively charged side of a ball is attracted to the negatively charged side of another ball, they link together. The oil acts as an insulator to ensure electrons do not pass between balls (if you used a conductive fluid, this effect would not happen). This is a purely electric force phenomenon: F = qE.

It can be intriguing you're right. As he said in the end, it's a good example of how simple local interactions can create complex dynamics. If you replace the beans with Amino acids, it becomes pretty conceivable how the electromagnetic interaction can lead to complex life forms as we have on earth.

Being only one 'candidate' it would likely be a very straight path through the candle to the outer 'plate'. Add more B-Bs and they all 'compete'. Hey another candidate for the fluid would be 3M's dielectric fluids Here's one... www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Novec-7700-Engineered-Fluid-100-ml-Glass-Bottle/?N=5002385+3288713617&preselect=8710710+8717595+8734647+8745514&rt=rud Then they can look at it in 3D as you add depth to the dish.
