It is amazing how patterns seem to repeat themselves in nature. Crazy really.

Well, a billion dollars would be to much for me, but I can underschribe that this is REAL physics artwork. Nice job guys!

Throughout his life he had many accomplished discoveries and incredible inventions in electrical engineering, but this one event that took place on three different days changed not only the map but ALL ELSE along with it. After one hundred and eleven years with the dawn of two new centuries,

Those images in the plexiglass are actually fractals. Nature is ballin

running different lighting through them would really be different amazing pattern!

frame that puppy and hang it on the wall with some light under it shining upwards!! That's a piece of art now. Great video, great end effect inside that Plexiglas. Bravo!

wow that glas is beautiful... those lightnings are beautiful! :D

The music is from a video editing software called Pinnacle Studio. It's one of many standard melodies.

Love the music, sounds so 80's

4 words..."real piece of art"!

i want something like that on my wall...thats art dude

They fire an electron beam at it until its charged really high (it's an insulator) then tap it with a grounded nail and the extra electrons rush to to ground point, creating the lightening like pattern

Nice demonstration

TELSLA knew how to get electricty by sticky something in the ground and would convert to electricty 24/7 and for the day in age he lived thats amazing.

@Boss11212 I am absolutely sure. I have the program and that particular soundtrack is a part of the software. The author of this video most likely made it using Pinnacle Studio and then added the music via the program.

@pillowsx16 Laughed so hard I cracked my back. Thanks.

This is real, Lichtenburg Figures have been around for a while.

It's like a super short episode of how it's made with that music haha

This video is, in a parallel universe, called 'Fun with Fractals!'

that kind of explosion could make rivers in deserts to disperse rising sea levels, or be used as a weapon to destroy your enemies

Way to combine science with art. ^ - ^

That's a terrific idea!

Okay... so if I understand this properly... charge up the entire sheet of plastic with an electrostatic charge... then supply a single discharge point and the voltage will etch through the plastic leaving the pattern. If so... that would look really nice with side-light from some blue and/or yellow LEDs. Particle accelerator... that part might be tricky. Very nice.

Now just think. you could set off charges at slightly different moments in a pattern that would cause the formations to interfere with each other symmetrically. Then... You would have the coolest windows in town!

You should make more of these and sell them!

OMG, add ultra-bright blue or green LED under it and it'll be awesome on a wall! :D

00:04 - Now I know where they got the sprites for the BFG9000 on DooM.

thats a pretty good looking tree right there

Woow you can make pretty beautiful things with that !!

I once sprayed a CD and put another one on top of it (so they were sticking together) and after a while i split them - the effect was similar

If each tendril of the bolt pattern creates a hollow tube, you could graft cells into them and create new organs.

this is how they make art.

amazing work...

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) -- is a member of the Trilateral Commission and knows 33rd degree secret is the 1899 Alaska Earthquake - British Association record No. 333, at Shide. Isle of Wight on September 3 at three o’ three.

i would love to own that. looks amazing

some black paper behind the glass, a nice frame...it just deserves it :-)

So awesome, next project HV supply! Do you ground the flat plane of the sheet of just the opposite edge?

thats a cool piece of art to

This got nothing to do with Tesla, Georg Chistoph Lichtenberg was a German Physicist, the first to develope a pratical device that produces high voltage via electrostatic induction. We're talking about the 18th Century here, not the 19th. Lichtenbergs Electrophorus produces these discharge patterns in thin layers of dust. With modern technology they can be created in plastic.....

Reminds me of the cover of Van der Graff Generators' "Still Life" album.

I want that on a LED base. That would look amazing all lit up.

@sneighwena we still are able to learn from him! like his gio thermal ideas! we havent began to tap what he was talking about and it would be alwys there and consistet unlike wind power! he is ahead of our time still!

that kinda reminds me of the circulatory system how the branches are stemming.

nice artwork

nice... thats GORGEOUS!

Is the lightning a fractal shape? Very interesting type of art. nice video.

Lightning is nothing more than electrons. Electrons have a "negative" charge, and like particles repel each other. Thats why they never cross each other, they try to get as far away as possible from each other.

Wow, this is great for Modding :D

all you need to make this is a Linac.... you should see what it does in a cylindrical piece or even a sphere

the word "Timeless" comes to mind haha

looks cooler then regular glass

BEAUTIFUL

Looks like some of the patterns seen in Hubble photos of galaxies.

"Nice. That's Gorgeous"

So do you think the width between the main branches to the smaller branches is the golden ratio of PHI (1.618)? Also, because water can store energy ( Check out Lord kelen water inducer) is that why it makes thoughs same patterns when it flows? Great use of a partical accelerator and major prop's on the homage to Tesla.

I hear if lighting strikes a beach then the sand can be dug out and you will find that the sand that was hit does the same this as that glass but its a physical object and can be dug out and put on display

Fractals... fractals everywhere.

0:05 - We now know where they got the BFG9000 idea.

That sounds like quite a kick.

Beautiful

@Giuliano105 all you need is a particle accelerator...

@Giuliano105 Try either the radiology of your local hospital or a high energy particle physics research department :D (there's also one very BIG one near Geneva in Switzerland, not sure about the rent for that place tho...;-)

I think he knows what he do.

That's like the opposite of fulgurite. I like!!

good luck getting that much power

Wow. It's beautiful~!

I think the best thing would be to frame that and set a colored light underneath it o behind it.

@Giuliano105 just u cant, untill u have a particle accelerator.

This reminds me of how quickly my wife's mood can change...

isso realmente é arte de verdade.

Yes. You can also illuminate the pattern with LEDS. And the gods of rock would be pleased.

I have seen such structures on photographs of the martian surface taken from orbit.

Where can I buy 'art' like this? -I'd pay for a piece of blasted plexi for wall art! 5 stars!

@Giuliano105 All you need is a particle accelerator....

@winerts i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the big bang may have been thunder..

wow its almost crystalized lightning

I'm guessing its got something to do with fractals. Most things seem to.

is this properly referred to as dendritic? I think not! I think it's just basic electrostatic repulsion. i.e. charges maximizing their respective spacing in the presence of an applied field. Correct me if I'm wrong. I know lightning demonstrates fractal morphology - I'm not convinced this is 'mini-lightning'.

my nervous system is a fractal of the earth's rivers!

The Fabinucci mathematical sequence is everywhere in nature and is mistaken by "creationists" as a sign of "God's intelligent design" because Nature DOES have order which 'IS' fractal in it's symmetry.

Now... lets try out 2000mMegaVolt...

@Nathan21122012 That's because it uses the same principle of trying to minimize the energy.

Nice. Let me frame that on my wall.

so essentially a fulgurite in plastic

reminds me of autumn trees

I want to buy one of those.

@Giuliano105 use your power plugs some capacitors and transformators

great sold idea :D

Impressive...

I want a glass like that on my wall :D

wow, that is so cool! I want that on my wall :-P

I announce an achievement which will amaze your entire universe, and which eclipses the wildest dream of the most visionary scientist. It was so good he made you the entire world look the other way, WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE! NOT THE GROUND THATS WAVING BUT THOSE MARTIANS UP IN THE SKY THE MARTIAN ONES YOU KNOW ONLY NOW DO NOT EXIST.

@winerts usually lightning is followed by thunder :P

I See Fibonnaci Fractal In there ! ! !

that's art!

If i were to make a guitar body out of plexiglass, then do this to it, do you think i could expect similar results? any ideas/theories, please comment

is this how you design trees in the future?

Nice tree

they look like trees, they would be perfect for the fall! :D

instant art!
