A die electric is an insulating material that doesn’t conduct electricity. The “Die Electric” experiment makes use of this material to create products that ironically require you to plug them in. Examples are a power cord twisted to form a shelf, a plant potter that looks suspended when plugged in, and a toothbrush holder made from a wrapped cable.

isnt this dangerous or something?

it’s “dielectric”, not die electric. and these items are quite clearly not composed of dielectric materials. you guys should consult a physicist before you start naming your inane design projects.

At work I use dielectric grease because of its conductive properties.
