Hi guys!
Heres just a bit of fun - Ive been trying to scrape the silver plating off the second hand Barium Titanate that I bought on ebay. Anyway, to get it all off was literally impossible, but I tried running some HV through it anyway, just to see if it shorted to the other side (where a silver plate still remains, and is connected to -15KV.) The patterns I got were Lichtenberg figures - really pretty!
