00:00Hi Believers! It's Experiment Time!

00:06Okay, Shira. Hold this plasma globe.

00:10Okay.

00:11Don't be scared.

00:14Wow! Look at this, Chris!

00:16There's a lot of current.

00:17It's following my hand. I can feel the current inside the globe.

00:22Yes.

00:23Wow!

00:24It's amazing, right?

00:25Let me hold it.

00:26Wow!

00:29Do you believe that the current inside the plasma globe can be released?

00:35Huh? Isn't that dangerous?

00:37Well, that's why we need to be careful.

00:39We'll wear our safety gear, okay?

00:42We'll wear gloves and goggles.

00:44Okay.

00:45Okay.

00:46Here, Chris.

00:47Okay.

00:48How do we do this?

00:50Let's turn it off first, okay?

00:52We'll put aluminum foil on top of the globe.

00:59Okay.

01:00And then…

01:01And then?

01:02This is what we'll do.

01:03I'll show you.

01:04Okay.

01:05I'll turn on the plasma globe.

01:08Okay.

01:09And then, you'll put the aluminum foil on top of the globe.

01:13Let's see.

01:14Can you see it?

01:15Wow!

01:18Look closely.

01:19The current is coming out.

01:20Yes.

01:21There's a trace of purple.

01:23It's zapping.

01:24Can you hear it?

01:25And I can see the actual sparks.

01:27Yes!

01:28It's amazing!

01:31Wow!

01:32Okay, let's continue.

01:33Move it around.

01:34See if it'll follow.

01:36Because in our experiment,

01:37why did we choose aluminum foil?

01:39Because the conductor of electricity is aluminum foil.

01:42Meaning, it can carry electricity or electrons.

01:46Now, we'll bring the aluminum foil closer.

01:49Electrical charges will be generated between the foils.

01:54And we can see electric sparks in the middle.

01:58Yes.

01:59I was shocked.

02:00The current is coming out.

02:02I was like,

02:03Wow!

02:04Right?

02:05What a thought, right?

02:07That's amazing!

02:10Now, it's coming out.

02:12And because of that,

02:13all I can say is,

02:15I believe!
