Forces from sparks and Newton laws...

Hi.

Another video 😉 but short and no need to see it all;  just time stamp 0:30 shows the spheres shaking.  How is the spark producing forces ?  I could imagine if they where suspended, the motion would show greater.

Here that crack noise from the spark?  I assume that pressure wave is what is making the spheres move.

Thanks. 

Seems then the sudden heating of air from the spark expands the air and the 'crack' sound wave produces the shaking of the spheres.  Acoustic motor 🙄 like windows in  thunder.
