John E. Straub developed an educational demonstration linking dissolved ions with electrical conductance. Comparing water and a sodium chloride solution illustrates the role of mobile charge carriers; the account also records a weak filament glow for sucrose, so the demonstration is interpreted through its observed signal rather than an ideal zero-current claim.[ref]
