Put each in a wooden clothes pin and connect the attached ends to the mains voltage (US customers only, please). Tap the free ends of the rods together. Move them apart as necessary. Very bright! Much brighter than you are. One of the MIT EE course videos on the web shows a demonstration of AC across a pickle... it is an interesting effect. Not sure how the pickle tastes afterward. Cooking hotdogs with AC is similar, but the pickle gives off a much nicer translucent flickering glow. Very pretty. But who wants a cooked pickle? ;-) Thanks, Rich |
