How Do You Make A Plasma Lamp?
Plasma lamps are interesting devices that create a small plasma field, resembling lightning, inside a ball of rare gases. This is how to build one. • You will need an alternating current generator that produces the frequencies of about 35 kHz. • Next, buy the rare and precious gas called Argon. This rare trace element in our air glows blue when charged. • Make a glass ball with a hole in the bottom to connect the AC generator. Be sure to keep all air out of this ball at all times because oxygen and nitrogen interfere with the blue glow. • Buy a small metal pole to use as the electrode. Connect the pole into the glass and seal it. Then connect the electrode to the AC generator. • Make a small hole in the glass and insert the argon. Seal the hole by melting it shut. • Connect the AC generator to an electrical source. You have a plasma lamp!
