NASA has a cool electric field imaging system

[Andy Perrin]

I fell down an internet rabbit hole watching the video of NASA’s (static) electric field imaging system. VERY cool. What I started out researching was whether anyone had ever imaged the electric fields that flowers generate to attract bees. (Not sure if nfoto knows of any work in that area?) But I found this link and never made it to the flowers.

I am tempted to build one — it doesn’t look so hard…

That's really neat, thanks for the sharing Andy.

Very interesting, the future is here.
