It's a version of applying ***US 120 V mains*** to electrodes inserted in a courgette. You get light (coloured) and smoke, with fizzing noises and small explosions.

DON'T try this with European mains.
Hmm, when I was young, :) ,EU mains worked well,thankyou.
You can use orange peels, potatos,etc. and it left
a nice carbon trail as well.
If you have enough brains, you dont even get
electrocuted. ;)
When I "found" a nice radio mains transformer with 500
volt on it, it worked even better........
Aint we having a nice occupation???
