  • What are these?
  • Captured Lightning sculptures are branching patterns of internal fractures that have been permanently captured deep inside various shapes of crystal-clear acrylic. Technically known as Lichtenberg Figures, they were created by carefully trapping and discharging millions of volts of electrical charge inside pieces of clear acrylic using a high-energy particle accelerator.  These complex, permanent figures are formed when the trapped charges suddenly escape in a brief, lightning-like discharge. The intensely hot sparks leave behind permanent "fossilized" tree-like chains of microscopic fractures and tubes that reflect light like microscopic mirrors. Captured Lightning sculptures are fully discharged and are completely safe. They combine the technologies of particle beams and polymer physics with the natural beauty of fractals to create unique creations of scientific art.

  • The birth of a new Captured Lightning sculpture - as trillions of trapped electrons suddenly escape the
  • acrylic, they create a loud bang and a brilliant white flash. The images above show a 12" figure being
  • discharged as viewed normally and through a dark filter. A faint external discharge can also be seen
  • along the top surface in the above right photo.

  • appeared in the March, 2008 issue of Popular Science Magazine.

How do we create our Captured Lightning sculptures?
We inject hundreds of trillions of sub-atomic particles, called electrons, into sparkling clear acrylic specimens using a 5 million volt particle accelerator. The injected electrons charge up the interior of the specimens to potentials as high as 2.5 million volts. We then (very carefully!) manually discharge them. This suddenly releases the trapped charges, creating an intense, miniature "lightning bolt" inside the specimens. The high-energy electrical discharges leave behind countless branching chains of microscopic tubes and fractures deep inside the acrylic - creating a permanent "fossil" of the paths taken by the sparks - a Lichtenberg figure. A more detailed explanation about the history, theory, and other interesting properties of these fascinating objects  can be seen here. A simple one-page explanation is also included with every sculpture we ship. All of our Captured Lightning sculptures are discharged and completely safe. All are made in the USA, and each one is a unique treasure.

Following is a video clip that shows various parts of the process we use to make these, captured during irradiation sessions over several years:

Why did we start making these?
We were fascinated by the incredible beauty and the complex physics of acrylic Lichtenberg Figures but we were continually frustrated by their scarcity. Every now and then, a banged-up specimen would show up in an auction or a flea market, without any explanation of how it was created or where it came from. A group of fellow physicists and electrical engineers ("Spark Whisperers") decided to conduct independent research into the theory and technique of producing them using particle accelerators. However, since "beam time" and raw materials are very expensive, we also decided to offer specimens to the general public to help fund our experiments. During each new experimental run, we tried to "push the envelope" by creating larger, more complex and artistic figures, and by conducting experiments and measurements that helped us gain improved understanding of the physics and processes involved. Specimens from our latest production runs represent the current state of the art for 2D and 3D acrylic figures. We are proud that many of our specimens reside in museums and are recognized as being World Class in beauty and size.

We offer over forty styles of Captured Lightning Lichtenberg figures. These include affordable 2 inch blocks and disks, a wide selection of medium and large specimens, to mammoth museum-quality 15" x 20" x 2" monoliths for discriminating collectors and institutions. We can create even larger specimens if desired. Every Captured Lightning sculpture ships with a simple one-page explanation about what it is and how it was created. Most of our newer sculptures have an amber-tinted layer. The coloration is called solarization, and it is produced by complex interactions between the electron beam, intense X-radiation, and the acrylic. Solarization usually fades with time, and the fading process can be accelerated by gentle heat or placing sculptures in sunlight. When illuminated by bright blue LED's, the solarization layer may also lightly fluoresce with a greenish-yellow color. Some sculptures may develop a slightly foggy/milky appearance from the effects of being irradiated by high-energy electrons. 

How to best display your sculptures:
Images on our site were taken using lighting conditions which highlighted the delicate internal patterns. For best results, sculptures should be illuminated from one or more edges using LED's or other bright light source(s). This allows light to be reflected by the mirror-like fractures inside the sculpture, making the internal Lichtenberg figure glow brilliantly with the color(s) of the light source(s). Illuminating a sculpture using transmitted light (such as looking through the sculpture at a light source or window actually reduces the sculpture's detail and beauty. We offer a wide variety of standard and custom LED lighted bases that are designed to fully highlight the incredible beauty of our sculptures.
As with snowflakes, every Lichtenberg figure is unique. Although your figure may differ from the examples shown on our web site, we guarantee it will be of similar or better quality. Some specimens have small fractures and light caramel-colored charring along the main paths near the exit point of the discharge. Charring is an unavoidable result of the high-current electrical discharges that create our sculptures, and it virtually disappears when the sculpture is illuminated by one of our light bases.  

By adding suitably engraved or printed metal plaques to our bases, Captured Lightning sculptures make memorable gifts or unique academic, corporate, or retirement awards. We can provide custom plaques ($25 and typically adds a two-week interval), or customers can have their local awards and trophies business make plaques for them. We also offer custom laser engraving for most of our larger sculptures with flat surfaces.
Laser engraving typically adds two weeks to our shipping interval and added cost ($50 - $70). Captured Lightning sculptures are treasured works of scientific art that will enhance the decor of any room or office. Because demand is high and quantities are limited, we recommend ordering soon to avoid possible disappointment. We combine shipping on multiple items whenever possible.

Discharge "Types":

Many of our sculptures are available with two or more discharge types. The appearance of the discharge varies considerably depending on how much electrical charge we inject and how and where we discharge the sculptures. Following are some images that illustrate the most common types of discharges. The exit point of the discharge may be along an edge (edge discharge) or inside one of the large surfaces (interior discharge). In addition, the structure of the discharges may be branching and tree-like (Dendritic), densely branched or fern-like (Bushy Dendritic), a random tangle of discharges (Chaotic), or a mixture of these (Mixed). Specimens may also have more than one discharge location. Some examples should help illustrate discharge types - click on images below to see larger images:

15 x 20 x 2 Inch Massive Museum Sculptures

sold  with matching solid walnut lighted base

These are among the largest, most spectacular Lichtenberg figure sculptures in the world. One of these huge sculptures is currently on permanent display at the Numbers in Nature exhibit in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois

These huge 15" x 20" x 2" specimens were passed through the electron beam twice to create two independent charge planes. When discharged, they developed massive dendritic discharges along each plane as well as thousands of shorter discharges between planes. The result is a complex interplay of dendritic discharges that fill a region about one inch thick across almost the entire sculpture. We recently created more of these sculptures during our 2014 Lichtenberg run. You can view high resolution images of sculptures that are currently available by clicking on the image above. 

Each sculpture is supplied with a custom solid walnut light base with a professional satin finish. Bases can be supplied with all white LED's, all blue LED's, or (as pictured) one each of white and blue LED strips. Other colors are available on special order. These bases are designed to gently and safely support your sculpture while highlighting even the infinite detail of the individual discharges. Custom base measures 19" x 8" x 2". Shipping costs are for shipments within the US. Inquire for shipping costs outside the US.

   BD985MC - $27   
Battery and AC-Powered Multicolor Light Base

This compact color changing light base is 3" in diameter and 1.25" high. The top surface is mirrored to enhance your sculpture's appearance. It uses a 0.5" x 0.5" array of 4 high-intensity multi-color LED's and slowly cycle through a variety of colors. Some bases also have a white LED. 
The base has an attractive gloss black finish and an ON-OFF switch. The changing colors cycle over a period of 5 - 10 seconds. Base can be powered from three AAA alkaline batteries (not included) or from a included 4.5VAC AC adapter.. When powered from batteries, the estimated running time is 30-40 hours. Since this base has only 4 LED's, it works best with smaller sculptures in areas with subdued lighting. For brighter locations, we suggest using the BD753MC instead.  Standard base comes with a two-pin US/North American power adapter (see image above).  Power adapters for UK, EC, or AU power can also be selected as an option. Base can also be powered from any standard USB port via supplied cable. 

Base is ideal for many of our smaller sculptures such as Styles 2, 2A, 4, 13, 13A, 23, 29, 31, 43, 45, 47, and 54
Captured LightningŪ sculptures.

This will add $25 to the cost and two weeks to the shipping interval.  Inquire for more information. The overall base dimensions are 2" high x  3" x 13".

Ordering Instructions: 
View Cart/Check Out:
A. International  - orders shipping to destinations outside the USA:
1. To avoid processing delays, please select a shipping option (see black box below) so that we can rapidly pack and ship your order.
This covers the added cost for processing and shipping international orders. It also allows you to select the desired delivery interval. International orders submitted without an International Shipping Option will be delayed and may be cancelled after 5 days. Your total shipping cost will be the SUM of domestic shipping charge and the cost for the selected international shipping option. 

2. Please use our shopping cart and checkout processes whenever possible. Our shopping cart supports secure online payment via all major credit cards or (at your option) via your PayPal account. Currency conversion to US Dollars (USD) is also supported for all major currencies. If you experience any problems or have any questions, please contact us. For large orders, we also accept bank Wire Transfers, however, a USD $16 service charge will be applied to your order to cover our bank's service fee.  For your protection, please do NOT send credit card information through an email - email is NOT secure!

3. All address information must be provided using English characters. Hanzi or kanji logograms cannot be used on US Customs documents.

4. Please do NOT ask us to mark your shipment as a "gift" or to artificially mark down the cost of your purchased items. This violates postal laws for both of our countries, subjects us to possible customs fines, and creates a major problem with insurance coverage should your package become lost or damaged.

5. Please note that service
fees, VAT, or other import duties may also be charged by your country's Customs or postal systems. We do not collect VAT or GST,  we have no control over these charges, nor can we prepay them on your behalf. These can include VAT, and Custom Duties, and additional Customs Handling Fees (UK Royal Post).

6. Remember that international delivery intervals may sometimes exceed 30 business days, especially during holiday mailing periods. Please order early to avoid possible disappointment. Regular Priority Mail shipping is recommended for most customers since it provides tracking and quicker delivery.
