Note: Photo above is a lie, does not use finger lightning. This is a video of Nate From The Internet (I thought I recognized him from somewhere!) attempting to bake edgeless brownies (plus bread and angel food cake) using electricity. The concept is simple: place the batter between two conductive
This is a short video from Shandong, China during the recent Qingdao International Beer Festival of twin Raidens dancing atop giant Tesla coils and sharing some lightning between them. Whatever happened to not crossing the streams? I have to admit though, this is the exact sort of entertainment I would
This is a video of electrical engineer Greg Leyh of Lightning On Demand (same here but mine requires black magic and a ton of mana) blasting watermelons to pieces with currents equivalent to those found in lightning (25,000 – 100,000 amps). Allegedly Greg performed these experiments to test a new
This is a video of the custom plasma speakers built by engineer Fabricio H. Franzoli from two CRT television flyback transformers playing the classic Popeye theme. Now those are some sexy speakers. I thought my Yamahas were nice, but they don’t look anything like two robot nipples shooting musical lightning.
This is some security cam footage from Dale Earnheart Jr.’s JR Motorsports in Moorsville, North Carolina that captured Thor throwing a lightning bolt at a truck parked there, causing a shower of sparks and the truck’s headlights to stay on.

This is a video of an unhandy man presumably trying to earn a year pass to an all-you-can-eat buffet by doing some very amateur electric work for them when God lets him know maybe he should consider eating smaller portions instead. Possibly through a straw. Thankfully, the man was okay,
This is a video from TikTok user curlykaylaa’s home security cam of an electricity pole outside her house having a meltdown. It starts its tantrum in the sky, but eventually takes the fight to the street right behind Kaylaa’s car. Don’t worry though, Kaylaa, Farmers has seen a thing or
