Zipper-the most common thing, considerably facilitating our daily lives.

The main purpose of the zipper-the connection of any parts, from ordinary pockets on the children’s jacket and ending with the costumes of astronauts. But at all times there are people who are able to see in ordinary objects something new, to give them a completely different function. Of course, for those creative individuals lightning is no exception. Let’s see, what else can this “thing” in addition to their ordinary “calling”.
