Captured Lightning: 2.2 million volt Lichtenberg Figure Sculpture You can get a complete complete explanation about how these spectacular specimens are created by visiting: http://www.capturedlightning.com/frames/lichtenbergs.html The interior of this 18" x 18" x 1" piece of Plexiglas was charged to about 2.2 million volts (MV) by bombarding it with electrons from a 5 million electron volt (MeV) particle accelerator. This traps a layer of excess negative charge about half way through the specimen. When we manually discharge it, the trapped electrons escape with a brilliant flash and a loud bang. The hot, lightning-like discharges create thousands of microscopic channels and fractures inside the acrylic. The result is a branching "Captured Lightning" sculpture (or Lichtenberg Figure). This fractal 2D form has a fractal dimension of about 1.7. This video was captured and edited by Terry Blake. The specimen was owned and discharged by Jeff Larson during our 2005 production run.
