A safety pin is connected to a high tension AC generator,ionizing the air around it. When the electrons fall back on an atom,the excess energy is emitted as a photon,which generate the corona glow around the pin. The fuzziness of the pin is because the camera did not actually capture light reflected on the pin but rather the light emitted by the ionized air around it. | |
