Vlasic on 120 volts
« Reply #15 on: March 03, 2001, 11:27:00 pm »
It works!  I saw a sixth-grade kid do this when I was judging a science fair about a year ago.  Definitely "weird science"!  The pickle glowed, got brighter, dimmer, then brighter again, and it smoked a lot.  Next time you go to a deli-restaurant, bring a 120-V transformer and an extension cord.
