A plasma ball with filaments extending between the inner and outer spheres. A plasma ball, plasma globe, or plasma lamp is a clear glass container filled with noble gases, usually a mixture of neon, krypton, and xenon, that has a high-voltage electrode in the center of the container.
The first commercial plasma lamp was an ultraviolet curing lamp with a bulb filled with argon and mercury vapor developed by Fusion UV. That lamp led Fusion Lighting to the development of the sulfur lamp, a bulb filled with argon and sulfur that is bombarded with microwaves through a hollow waveguide. The bulb had to be spun rapidly to prevent ...
William P. Parker is an American artist, scientist, and entrepreneur, best known for inventing the modern design of the plasma globe. [1] The invention occurred in 1971, when Parker was working as a student in a physics laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and accidentally filled a test chamber to a greater-than-usual pressure with ionized neon and argon.

A small battery powered Luminglas device, turned on. A small battery powered Luminglas device, turned off. A crackle tube is a type of plasma lamp that is used most commonly in museums, night clubs, movie sets, and other applications where its appearance may be appealing for entertainment.
A balanced-arm lamp has a base, a stand or body, (in most cases) two connected arms (in many cases fitted with springs), and a lamp-head. The lamp can be moved into almost any position, and the balancing device will maintain the position until moved again. The same overall mechanism can be employed in other devices with similar requirements ...
A plasma torch (also known as a plasma arc, plasma gun, plasma cutter, or plasmatron) is a device for generating a directed flow of plasma. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The plasma jet can be used for applications including plasma cutting , plasma arc welding , plasma spraying , and plasma gasification for waste disposal.
The blowtorch is commonly used where a diffuse (wide spread) high temperature naked flame heat is required but not so hot as to cause combustion or welding.Temperature applications are soldering, brazing, softening paint for removal, melting roof tar, or pre-heating large castings before welding such as for repairing.
