Lightning in a Jar ⚡ This is a acrylic cylinder that has been subjected to several million electrons volts. It stores the potrntial of the electrons likd a capacitor. When a grounded spike cracks the cylinder, it releases its stored energy as fractal electricity. This is often referred to as electrostatic discharge or assisted dielectric breakdown of acrylic.
