Real Captured Lightning in a Bottle
While standing outdoors in a severe thunderstorm, holding a little bottle up toward the violent, flashing heavens in hopes of capturing lightning isn't recommended or even possible, there's still a way to safely hold a real bolt of lightning in your hand with this cool new Captured Lightning in a Bottle.
Yep, this one-of-a-kind natural work of art is created by bombarding acrylic with electrons from a high-voltage particle accelerator to capture a Lichtenberg figure, a tree-like, branching electrical discharge. This lightning, now forever preserved in a bottle, brightly illuminates, minus the deadly voltage, when placed on its included light-up display base.
It's perfect for studying the intricate branching patterns of lightning up close, using it as an oddly comforting nightlight during a spooky late-night thunderstorm, gifting it to a difficult-to-buy-for eccentric weather buff, or just feeling like you finally have the power of a god within your clutches.
