PIRA Class: 5C20.51

Purpose: 

To observe the patterns created by high voltage electrical discharge on the surface or the inside of a dielectric object.

Description:

Lichtenberg figures have tree-like resemblance with branching patterns. These patterns arise from electrical discharges of high voltages on the surface of or inside an electric insulator (dielectric).
