How are they made?
We inject hundreds of trillions of sub-atomic particles, called electrons, into acrylic specimens using a 5 million volt particle accelerator. The injected electrons charge up the interior of clear acrylic specimens to 1 - 2.5 million volts. We then (carefully!) discharge them, releasing the excess charges and creating an intense, miniature "lightning bolt" inside the specimens. The high energy discharges leave behind countless branching chains of microscopic fractures and tubes deep inside the acrylic - a permanent "fossil" of the paths taken by the discharges. The following video clips were captured during some of our irradiation sessions. Why do we make these? We were intrigued by the incredible beauty and the complex physics of Lichtenberg Figures but we were continually frustrated by their scarcity. A group of fellow physicists and electrical engineers ("Spark Whisperers") decided to conduct independent research into the theory and technique of producing them. However, since "beam time" and raw materials are expensive, we also decided to offer specimens to the general public to help fund our research. During each new experimental run, we strive to "push the envelope" further by creating larger, more complex figures, or by conducting experiments and measurements that help us gain an improved understanding of the physics and processes involved. Specimens from our latest production runs represent the current state of the art for 2D and 3D acrylic figures. We are proud that many of our specimens are recognized as being World Class in beauty and size. We have created over 40 styles of Lichtenberg Figures. These range in size from affordable 2" x 2" x 3/4" blocks, a wide selection of medium and larger sized specimens, and museum quality 15" x 20" x 2" specimens for discriminating collectors and institutions. We can create even larger specimens if desired. Every Lichtenberg Figure ships with a one-page explanation about what it is and how it was created. Many of our newer sculptures may have a layer with an golden-amber hue. This is called solarization, and it is produced by complex interactions between the electron beam and the acrylic. It usually fades with time, and the fading process can sometimes be accelerated by gentle heat or placing sculptures in sunlight. When illuminated by blue LED's, the solarization layer may fluoresce with a light greenish-yellow color. How to display your sculptures: The images on our site were taken using lighting conditions which highlight the delicate internal patterns. For best results, our sculptures should be actively illuminated from below or along one or more edges using LED's or another bright light source. This allows the light to be reflected by the mirror-like fractures in the sculpture so that the internal Lichtenberg figure glows brilliantly with the color(s) of the light source(s). Illuminating a sculpture using only transmitted light (such as looking through the sculpture to a light source or window) actually reduces the sculpture's detail and inner beauty. We offer a wide variety of standard and custom LED light bases that are designed to highlight the inner beauty of our sculptures. As with snowflakes, every Lichtenberg figure is unique. Although your figure may differ from the examples shown on our web site, we guarantee it will be of similar or better quality. Most specimens have small fractures and light caramel-colored charring on the larger paths near the exit point of the discharge. This is a natural result of the high energies involved during the discharging process - this disappears when the sculpture is illuminated. By adding suitably engraved or lettered metal plaques to our bases, Lichtenberg Figures make memorable gifts or unique academic, corporate, or retirement awards. We also offer custom laser engraving for our larger flat sculptures. Captured Lightning sculptures are treasured works of scientific art that will enhance the decor of any room or executive suite. Because demand is high and quantities limited, we recommend ordering soon to avoid possible disappointment. We combine shipping on multiple items whenever possible. Discharge "Types": Many of our sculptures are available with two or more discharge types. Discharge types vary depending on how much charge we injected and how, and when, we discharged the sculptures. Following are some images that illustrate most common types of discharges. The exit point of the discharge may be along an edge (edge discharge) or inside one of the large surfaces (interior discharge). In addition, the structure of the discharges may be branching and tree-like (Dendritic), densely branched or fern-like (Bushy Dendritic), a random tangle of discharges (Chaotic), or a mixture of Dendritic, Bushy and Chaotic discharges (Mixed).

- Factory 2nd Specimens at HALF PRICE -
For folks on a tighter budget, we have a
limited
number of "factory seconds" and experimental
specimens. Factory seconds may have a relatively small (1/8" - 1/2")
fracture or chip at the "root" of the discharge. Others may have
self-discharged and show some charring from beam current being
repetitively being discharged through the figure. Although these are
less than perfect, they are still beautiful
and unique specimens and are backed by our 100% money back satisfaction
guarantee. Currently
available factory seconds include styles 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19A (12" x 12" x 3/4"), 22,

- Massive 2 Inch Thick Museum Specimens - These
are
large, doubly irradiated 15" x 20" x 2" specimens. They were
irradiated using two passes through the electron beam to create two
separate charge planes. When discharged, they develop discharges along
each plane as well as discharges between planes. The result is a complex
interplay of dendritic and chaotic discharges that fill a region about
one inch thick.
These gorgeous sculptures are supplied with custom solid walnut light bases. We still have a few of these magnificent specimens in stock. They were created during our 4Q2011 production run. Click on either of the above images to see the specimens we currently have in stock. If you are interested in acquiring one, please contact us via email or at 630-964-2699 to discuss details. |

| BD752MC Battery Powered Multicolor Light Base This
compact color changing light base measures 2.25" x 2.25" x 1.13". It uses a
0.5" x 0.5" array of 4 high-intensity color LED's to slowly cycle
through a variety
of
colors. As the colored LED's continually color cycle, they also illuminate different portions
of the sculpture. The base has an attractive black matte finish. It
requires three "AAA" batteries (not included) and comes
with a sliding ON/OFF switch. The changing colors cycle over a period of 12-15
seconds. A short video clip
showing a Style 54 sculpture on this light base is available via
YouTube. When powered by
a set of alkaline batteries, the estimated
battery life is 30-40 hours of continuous operation. Since this base has
only 4 LED's, it works best in those areas having a lower level of
ambient light.
Ideal for many of our smaller sculptures such as Styles 2, 3, 4, 13, 28, 29, 31, 43, 45, 47, 53, and 54 Captured LightningŪ sculptures. The beveled shape and size make this base an excellent match for our style 4 and 54 sculptures. $23.00 plus $5.00 for S&H |
BD753MC and BD753W
Medium Power Multicolor or White Base These
compact
light bases are 2.75" x 2.75" x 3/4" and comes with a choice of
multicolor-color changing or bright white LED's. Each base uses a
0.75" x 0.75" square array of 9 high-intensity LED's to
brilliantly light your specimen. The multicolor version continually
cycles
through a variety
of
colors. As the colors change,
they illuminate various
regions of the figure, creating a beautiful continually blending and
shifting
display. The white LED base bathes your figure in cool, bright light,
and works very well for areas that have brighter ambient lighting, such as offices. The black plastic exterior has an attractive matte finish. These bases are significantly brighter than the BD752MC or BD754W. Adapter output: 12 volts DC @ 300 mA, via a 1.3 mm center-positive connector.
