Copper wire explosion pattern Size:L: 80 x 60cm patented one of the firstTwo figures of effects produced by the explosion of copper wire positioned over a sheet of paper or glass when subjected to a high voltage electrical current. This was provided by the electrostatic generator and associated machinery designed by John Cuthbertson (bap. 1743 d. 1821) for Martin van Marum and installed at Teyler's Museum at Haarlem in the Netherlands.
