Have you ever seen something so fascinating, you are sure it must have some kind of practical application, but you just don’t know what it is? This is how we feel when we watch the tiny ball bearings in the latest plasma channel video from [Jay Bowles] assemble themselves into an alien-like structure under the influence of high pressure.
To be clear now, [Jay] did not try to attribute this idea to himself. He explained that researchers at Stanford University first documented this phenomenon in 2015, and his goal is to recreate their initial results as a baseline and start from there. The process is very simple: Put small metal ball bearings in a pan of oil, apply high voltage, and then watch them self-assemble into "wires", and then extend outward like the roots of plants looking for water to find ground terminals. Encouraged by his 500,000 volt van de Graaff generator, the ball bearing came into play and created the same structure as in the Stanford University study.
Now that the basic pieces are in place, [Jay] begins to push the limits. He experimented with various oils to see how their viscosity affects the ball's ability to assemble, and found that olive oil seemed to be an ideal candidate (at least among those he has tried so far). He also changed the size and shape of the tray, trying to figure out how far the ball can actually stretch.
Finally, compared to the good guys at Stanford University in 2015, we are one step closer to finding practical applications of this wild effect, but at least we have seen the little guys do it in the glorious 4K and extraordinary production value We have already begun to look forward to Plasma Channel about their business. In other words, [Jay] does hint at his continued efforts to turn structures into artworks by "freezing" them with transparent resin, so please pay attention to this.
Aha, radiation reminds me of all kinds of sayings. High voltage and pulsed magnetic fields can provide gravitational disturbances, change the orientation of the direction vector, and appropriate high voltage fields/magnetic shear can provide "torque to space" or something like that-it It may not seem to have been explored in the eyes of the public. This may explain the recent round of discussions about Trump asking the military to release UFO information in the next few weeks (only useful), something I think is very interesting ;-)
Thank you for your posting, it is particularly interesting, especially because I found the electromagnetic anomaly of Galileo's theory of relativity, which is worth checking, so I got some 1600Amp MOSFETs and some other very high current pulse sources, although it will take a while,
I will investigate this when I come back, and it may be relevant:- https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-updated-status-of-the-military-bill-president-Trump-signed -late -2020-which-included-requirements-to-release-of-UFO-information-Did-President-Biden-cancel-that-clause-as-an-executive-action-if-so-why
Wow, I haven't been on Quora for a while, scrolling through related articles did bring a bad atmosphere to the reddit oranges :(
The only people who pay special attention to these "UFOs" are those who don't understand mathematics. I had hoped that the people on HaD would be better at critical thinking.
Here is a breakdown of some recent UFO dramas:

This article restates some of the same information, but also introduces basic physics and infrared imaging in more depth, and provides some sources of more information:

Note: Thunderf00t is sometimes... annoying, but I definitely know his stuff. He can at least do trigonometry, which is more than Tucker Carlson can say.
Mick West did a better job on these videos without exaggerating.

Short story: the pyramid is a triangular iris, the weather balloon moving at 200 miles per hour is parallax, the dish-shaped object is the flare of the jet engine-the rotation is caused by the gimbal of the observation camera.
In all these cases, the pilot’s lack of situational awareness causes them to incorrectly perceive the distance of the object, which is why they think they are moving so fast. This also explains the "drone" sightings of many commercial pilots, who move at incredible speeds or incredible heights. Human perception, especially in such rapid judgments, is error-prone and long-lasting.
Please stop talking about UFOs. This world is crazy enough, there is no need to add madness to madness.
(PS. I have no problem with phenomena that are difficult to explain or even unexplainable. But first, find a reasonable explanation?)
It looks good, but this article does not point out what is special about this-what is it?
This is the point. This is a cool phenomenon, it looks like some kind of alien technology, but it has no obvious use. The standards required to make these structures self-assemble are too strict, at least for now.
So, like almost every other discovery in history, we study it and get more eyes/brains until there is a click.
He must have seen this circulated content on youtube a week ago https://youtu.be/w1d0Lg6wuvc
Good work and production. Thank you.
Try to put the balls on both ends so that they touch each other. This high-pressure ball bearing test seems to provide an easy way to reproduce how lightning works... step size... and attract upstream to meet step size... search High-speed video of Lightning.
This is a quick and relevant lightning video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLWIBrweSU8
I remember how my jaw dropped when I watched that show.
This reminds me of dendrites in lithium-ion batteries, which are probably the same effect. Interestingly, the lower viscosity prevents the formation of dendrites. After all, this may have some practical applications.
This reminds me of the PBS NOVA project on slime mold: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/slime-mold-smarts/
Has anyone noticed that some beads jump from one rope to another? Will it be repelled by the higher-charged chain, touch the lower-charged chain, then be attracted back to the higher-charged chain, and repeat?
It is very neat to watch.
ElectroBOOM also tried it. It seems to be very dependent on the viscosity of the oil.

How about shaking the tray a little to prevent the ball bearing from getting stuck on the surface tension?
Well, I can say "If you put a high voltage on my ball, they will also jump around!" But, fortunately, I am above that kind of thing. But it's still very neat.
He used olive oil on his ball, but is it a virgin?
Isn't this similar to the coherents that people used to amplify signals before vacuum tubes and crystal detectors? Those used iron filings condense into a conductive path when they see a voltage spike at one terminal, and then have to be knocked off by an electromagnet, but the overall function seems to be very similar.
