" Lightning flower " or Lichtenberg figures was discovered in 1777 by German physics professor Georg Lichtenberg, when dust in the air clings to a charged plate, which will form branches of electricity.
In the video, insulating material (glass or acrylic) is placed under a device called a cathode, which produces an electron flow of 99% of the speed of light. In order for electrons to launch in glass or acrylic, charged particles must be introduced into the material by radiation. When electrons meet the charged part of the material, this part immediately conducts electricity, creating a miniature model of lightning.
According to Science Alert, to make this model, we can use any insulating material such as glass, acrylic even on human skin.
