Eureka, Noah Drummer Crystallized Hydrogen

original movie prop

If my 'ornament' isn't handled carefully, bad things could happen.

In fourth season Christmas episode O Little Town, comedian Chris Parnell guest stars as Dr. Noah Drummer, a condensed matter physicist with a twinkle in his eye and an odd but comforting familiarity with all the town's residents.  Dr. Drummer is working on perfecting an impossible process: the crystallization of hydrogen at ambient temperature and pressure, representing a giant step toward limitless clean energy and peace on earth.  Left unattended, Drummer's softball-size hydrogen crystal suddenly starts to expand uncontrollably, threatening to tear Global Dynamics apart from the inside out. The real problem, though, is actually much bigger (or smaller, depending on your perspective.)

Hollow soft rubber sphere, simulating a rough white crystal formation. Illuminated by a still-functional white Lightcube placed inside from the bottom. With triangular metal and acrylic base/projector, as also seen onscreen.
