The beams breaking away from the top are not ordinary sparks. They are filaments of plasma—the fourth state of matter. It is electricity becoming visible to the naked eye.
The visual beauty of these branches (known as *streamers*) displays the same patterns found in atmospheric lightning, tree canopies, or the human nervous system. It is the geometry of nature manifesting itself through electricity.
For those who design and build them, there is a profound aesthetic beauty involved. Achieving stability without complex microcontrollers—relying solely on the physics of discrete components—is a form of art.
❓ Fun fact: Did you know that plants have their own “electrical system”?
When a caterpillar begins to eat a plant’s leaf, the damaged cell triggers an electrical signal based on the movement of ions (such as calcium and potassium); this signal travels through the plant’s “veins” at speeds of up to one centimeter per second.
This electrical signal acts as an alarm, warning distant leaves of the attack and giving them time to start producing foul-tasting toxins to ward off the invader before it reaches them.
