[PaulGetson] had a high voltage power source from his Jacob’s ladder experiments and decide to see if he could create Lichtenberg figures. Turns out, he could.

Much like Lichtenberg figures appear across wood, the resulting shape mimics the path of the lightning bolt as it discharged into the ground. And yes, people make jewelry out of fulgurites.

Abstract: The paper gives the results of a comprehensive study of the effect of transients on the size and appearance of Lichtenberg figures. Sixteen different rates of voltage rise were used, varying ...

One of the key findings in recent studies is the identification of Lichtenberg figures, which are distinctive skin markings that appear after a lightning strike. These figures are often described ...

Shaw had studied lightning before. From the air, the scientists saw a clue to the animals’ death, a giant “Lichtenberg figure” etched into the ground near the carcasses. A Lichtenberg figure ...

For instance, a study on the interactions of bubbles in an acoustic Lichtenberg figure revealed that bubbles can travel along specific paths in ultrasound fields, leading to the formation of ...

Abstract: In 1777, one hundred and fifty-one years ago, Dr. George Christoph Lichtenberg, Professor of Physics in the University of Göttingen, observed that under certain conditions an electric ...
