First thoughts after watching this -- instead of etches in plastic, one should be able to reproduce this using any anisotropic material, such as bent shiny wires or even hair. Next step would be a computer program that takes a 3D model and solves for the locations of scratches or wires.
Ok, now someone go do it.

Yes, Bill Beaty is awesome. Unwise Microwave Oven Experiments is a good place to start.
I was pleased, the other day, to find I'd written about something he thought was too dangerous to mention on his site!

Ah, this is a blast from the past! The video I haven't seen, but the rest of the stuff on the page was online in 1995, it was one of the early cool things to find on the Internet.

Be sure to check out the guy's whole Youtube page, he messes around with all kinds of awesome stuff (and not just with beer bottles).
