would there be a pattern to be found in how quartz crystals would act, if i were to throw them into my computer fans?
how would they act? as in, would there eventually be some way to understand how they end up discharging electricity - and to go further, the positive/negative parts of this electricity - to go to the next step, which would be using this?

i have the resources to run this test
pic rel because id like to think theyd end up making this shape which ive seen a lot. its also somewhere in half-life, i think.

some things we already know before going into the experiment, and similar things we can think about to develop a better hypothesis before going into the test stage:
>if i throw paper+gunpowder "bangers/poppers" into the computer fans they explode, and the paper spins with the fans via the actual fan hitting them, before ejecting via the other side of the fan (the blowing side"
>this is due to the leftover paper being light enough to be pushed by the fans/fan air
>therefore we know the gunpowder would explode to produce a bang, and paper would leave the fans upwards/to the right of their original entry point


so what do we think, boys?
any patterns you think will show up after studying the way electricity moves from doing this?
