| | Description | The Plasma Globe offers you a safe, fascinating way to demonstrate how lightning works as well as explain the concepts of potential differences and electron orbital jumping. A small Tesla coil produces a large potential difference between it and the glass of the surrounding globe, similar to a cloud and its potential difference with the ground. This potential difference uses inert gases inside the globe to complete a circuit and release its potential to the outer glass, just as a cloud releases its potential to the ground. The result? Bright, harmless, violet lightning bolts that respond to touch and sound. The height of the product is 10.2". The globe is 7" diameter and the base is 4" in width. | |

 Plasma Globe Jan 21, 2011
By Linda Lawson
This is the second plasma globe I have ordered. This globe is just what I was expecting. It arrived in a reasonable time frame and in a well packaged box, unlike my previous order - which was from another vendor and poorly packaged. This plasma globe worked right out of the box and is working well today, 1 month later. Very happy with the product and vendor.

 Tesla Coil Lighting Dec 20, 2011
By Edward
Want something a little off the wall. I got this to give my daughter as a gift. It was more or less a joke because her room often looks like Frankenstein's lab after an explosion. She loves it. It does not glow a complete purple like in the photo but the electric arcs are a blue purple color and in a dark room it puts out a cool glow. Hold your hands up to it and excite the electrons. Seems well made, uses an external transformer plug. The switch is very small and located on bottom of one side - can be a little difficult to turn on and off.

Its a great science item for the grand kids, they are just amazed. Works well,should hold up well. was concerned that it might be too fragil for the youngsters but they can touch and experience the changes safely.

From the 1960's to the present the word has changed but the meaning remains the same. Bitchin', Groovy, Psychedelic, Out of Sight, Funky, Awesome, Cool, Sweet!
