This line looks like and eater

I won't waste your time. Picture a baggy (tm unknown) with a patch on each
side aluminized. This baggy is a ziplock (tm unknown) variety... Anyway, a
potent electric charge of the same polarity is placed on the respective 
patches of aluminum on each side. Like charges repell (no sh**) and the
baggy halves are forced apart as if the baggy contained a gas.  If there is
one thing with less density than hydrogen, its nothing at all, Need I say more?
The baggy hits the roof, and with a spark the experiment is over.
