Connect a piece of foil to the ground an a unmade paperclip to the +12 volts.
Let's Have Some Fun!

Now, just just need to touch the edge of the foil with the paperclip and watch small plasma-arcs forming at the contact point. And if you need to cut a precisely shaped hole in a sheet of foil, this thing can even be useful! :D
