Hi, I'm looking for an explanation of what's happening in this YouTube video.
Is this from the piezoelectric effect creating tiny sparks when the metal hits, from the crystals in the metal or coating? The drill bits are coated in titanium nitride but the un-coated ends hitting have the same effect.
