    Asking out of pure scientific curiosity, is it possible to electrify a field of very fine metallic chaff?

    Wait what am I thinking, water is the obvious low tech answer here

      water loaded with dissolved ions for conductivity, I.E. saltwater

      EDIT: in all likelihood these will be built to pretty good IP water resistance ratings so don’t count on breaking them by simply splashing them. a pool of electrified conductive water might work though.
