  • You mean sodium illumination? Yes, when you electrocute a dill pickle it not only cooks but emits a yellow glow as well! You can read about it here: http://home.nycap.rr.com/useless/pickle/index.html and of course DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME Being wet and salty, pickles are good electrical conductors and contain a lot of sodium and chlorine. Being so juicy and pale makes them partly transparent to light as well. What makes it glow? The outer electrons of sodium gain a little energy from the electric current, then these excited electrons lose the energy again by emitting photons of yellow light.
  • the answer is probably a result of the differenernce between direct and indirect contact with the current. See the link below for more info: www.techna.nl/Energie/De%20Gloeilamp/augurk%20geeft%20licht.pdf -
