Miya’s Shocking Super Powers!
Early into my Miya fandom, I came across the picture below on the JPHiP forum, and I thought “Cool fanart!! But… Why in the world would someone draw Miya with energy balls in her hands?”
Well, after looking around a little more, I found out that the fanart was inspired by an appearance Berryz Koubou made on Music Fighter on December 15, 2006. BK’s entire segment was pretty hilarious. They participated in a contest: Berryz Koubou versus 2 of the hosts (the 3rd host was the judge). Basicially, the game is like the basketball game HORSE. It’s one on one, and one of the people chooses something to do (basically something they’re good at or a talent that they have). Their opponent then has to copy what the first person did. If both people do the task, no points are awarded, but if the challenger is unable to do the task, the the other team gets a point.
Well, lets just say that when Miyabi went up for her turn, she showcased a special and uncanny ability… XD Listen closely!
Like really now… How the heck did she do that? I really want to make a Superman reference here (but she’d obviously be SuperMiya!!) however, actually typing it out would be against my Miya fandom for I know that some people *cough*my brother*cough* would crack up and start making inappropriate comments… If anyone knows that I’m referring to, I don’t know if I should be happy or sad… ‘Cause it is funny… It’s just upsetting (in a joking way of course) to me as a Miya fan. If you don’t know what I’m talking about… I <3 you!

This looks like an inductance phenomenon, where Miya’s hands act as an inductor, turning a change in magnetic flux into an induced current that builds up charge across the capacitative surfaces of Miya’s fingertips.
This is the same phenomenon as hooking up a coil of wire and a light bulb. If you pass a magnet through the coil, the resulting change in magnetic flux produces an electromotive force in the opposite direction (Faraday’s law of induction). This translates into a current in the presence of other circuit elements in a closed circuit. So the light bulb, a resistor, gets an opposite and equal voltage difference to balance the inductor’s electromotive force (Kirchhoff’s voltage law). A voltage difference across a resistor means there is a current across it (Ohm’s law), and the light bulb lights up accordingly.
You can replace the bulb with a capacitor, which instead of dissipating energy, builds up charge across two opposing but non-touching surfaces. This is the case with Miya’s fingertips. When they’re close enough, they act as opposing surfaces holding opposite charges. If they’re brought too close, the charge can leap across the gap due to the low relative static permittivity of air.
As to how Miya actually manages to do this, I don’t have a satisfactory answer, but this is a result of her amazing ability to manipulate magnetic properties … the same ones that let you levitate frogs, for example.

Wow that’s just… incredible! I’m impressed. :O

@Kirarin☆Snow: @_@
Physics makes me go stupid… XD Formulas like those aren’t my friends.
@Andra: I agree! When I first saw this clip, I was dumbfounded and tried to do it myself… Needless to say, I had the same results as the host… XD
