Replicating Northern Lights Using Giant Plasma Globe!
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2020
- The Aurora Borealis, and the Aurora Australis, are the most incredible weather events on Earth. With a big enough Plasma globe, you can perfectly mimic the process, right on your kitchen table. In this video I demonstrate how a large plasma globe can be used to model the Northern Lights.
Here is where I got the wands and globes! auroraplasmadesign.com/ Aurora took the time to help me understand some of the science in this video, so they deserve some love!

Hey Plasma Fam, The wands and globes came from auroraplasmadesign.com and it's a cool company. This video involved a lot of research, which, they helped with . I spoke to the owners of two prestigious plasma globe companies, and read at least a dozen university studies on the topic. The EXACT science behind streamer formation and behavior inside of plasma globes is an evolving science, and we don't have all the answers yet. I tried my best to present information that is accurate - most - of the time for Plasma globe situations. In reality, changing pressure inside the globe can drastically change the colors seen, even if you dont change the gas type.
Great video Jay, you certainly did your research for that one. The Northern lights are beautiful, I’ve only seen them once in the U.K. on a cold clear January night; albeit not at the magnitude you’d see in northern Finland. Epic Plasma ball, everyone will want one now. P.S. my iron/nickel Meteorite collection is growing, thanks to you. Keep safe Jay. Rog. 👍😎💯
Can you make music just by touching the plasma sphere?
The King of Random did plasma globe experiments, using helium and argon iirc, inside a vacuum chamber a couple weeks ago. czcams.com/video/LD8699WUVFo/video.html
@@rogerhargreaves2272 I am wondering can I see Northern Light from Canada?
@@safinsarker3889 - The meteorological conditions have to be suitable and there need to be no light pollution. It also depends on you latitude.
On our flight back from South Korea I had the opportunity to watch the aurora from the airplane as we flew over Alaska. It was so bright it illuminated the clouds beneath us with a faint green light and it was bright enough to read through the window. I put my blanket up around me and over the window to block out all the cabin light and my wife and I watched the aurora for a good 2 hours.
What I wouln't give....to witness what you just described above.
My first question was how the colors were dividing in that way and you answered that very well.
Now, give us pink lightning Jay!
Turns out that what I explained is only the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much physics at work that even the experts don’t all agree with each other, I found out. Pink? Just need some Argon!
But it’s gonna look more girly and the plasma won’t look scary with that color anymore 😂
@@Deutz-fahr-101 Or maybe some Lithium to put on the breakoutpoint. I believe that would yield red sparks.
@@PlasmaChannel what ball do you have?
I lived in Anchorage AK until I was 10-11 years old. I used to love laying on my sled in the snow during the winter and watching the curtains of fire dancing above me. I miss that free, fascinating entertainment.
The Aurora Borealis. Localized entirely within my kitchen...
Now time for some steamed hams!
Can I see it?
@@Frogz1620 no
The best comment I ever seen
No mother it’s just the northern lights
This channel is amazing!
The editing, sound, visuals and everything is so professional.
You deserve 1M+ subscribers
Ah thanks! You can help, by sharing any videos you think are good!
@@PlasmaChannel by any chance do u have a discount code for the Aurora website??
@@rickrolledtruth5834 You know, I recommended to them they provide me a discount code. Let me ask them and get back to you. If I get a yes, I'll put it in the video description! Check back tomorrow or at least by Monday.
@@PlasmaChannel thank you sir... goin get for my children. They look sweet. And those plasma wands are also kool. Will be looking out in description box. Much ♡♡
yes
Thanks J , I have a dream to watch northern lights by my own so thanks for motivating me . 😊😊😊☺😊☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
I've had plasma globes and tubes for over 15 years. My 8" is a favorite of mine. Its blue with red tips. Thx for sharing newer and more powerful globes and the tech that explains how they work. I also have a 24"x2" vertical tube that has an undulating white plasma arc I bought at Spencer's back in the day pre-goth era.
I must say, every time you put out a new video, I am happy your channel exists. I’m glad that there are such passionate high voltage/plasma fans out there.
Thanks Pirate! I just want people to see the magic I see.
You never fail to surprise us. That aurora globe is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Really. That's so soothing watching those dancing filaments of light.
It's so mesmerising.
This channel is a hidden gem.
Perfect combination of knowledge and visualataions.
I've started recommending this to my friends already.
Thanks, that means a lot.
Best plasma globe ever...such a big size and that green colors look amazing....💯💯
I once saw the northern lights. The color was absolutely amazing, but the most indescribable thing was the size, it's HUGE! I like that you covered not only the gs mixture, but the electric field and the pressure effecting the colors. In gas lasers you can get various colors from gasses depending on these. This is why ion and other gas lasers can come in many wavelengths. An interesting experiment you can do is to view a simple neon lamp through a prism. As the current goes up you'll notice more and more colors start to form closer to the violet end of the spectrum. Understanding the way color comes from gasses is tricky and it wasn't until I got into gas lasers that I understood it I suggest that for reading material as it's incredibly informative.
gotta love plasma globes ..I worked as a PECVD engineer for years ..never tired of those glows.
Listening to you opens a brave new world w tremendous possibilities.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for this awesome video!! I have only seen the aurora one time in Alaska but it is so amazing! Very cool to show us how the plasma globe compares.
Inspiring ! I have a 10 inch globe with a dead power supply. Have not touched it in the last 30 years or more. It will be my weekend project to bring it back to life. Thanks !
That globe is awesome! I love that it has different colors, the green with the purples and pinks is beautiful.
This is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite channels! I only wish more of your videos were longer and/or more in depth! Give us more!
This channel is so good like I wish I could this good videos. Thanks a lot for all these amazing videos and keep going jay !! 👍
I watched this on my break at work yesterday at 2:30 in the morning. (Night crew) And this is just an amazing topic. The detail you put into the explanation such as the colors relating to the gases, energy levels and translating that to the upper atmosphere. Where we have elevation as a factor, and where you talk about the higher intensities such as the red colors.
The part where you showed your reaction when you got it is me whenever I get really really cool things in the mail or when I make something like a compressed air fusion chamber. (Made one before and it is so cool. Of course dangerous due to the radiation but safe conditions can be made when using radiation glass. Or yellow glass)
My questions I would have would be that I've seen blue and purple high voltage arcs as well as yellow or white high voltage arcs. At the elevation I'm at (5,600 feet from sea level) when using NST's, high voltage drivers or other high voltage transformers I see all of those colors. I think making a video on this phenomena would be awesome. I know it's due to temperature relating to the energy density of the plasma channel made, though I know a few people who wouldnt know this. I think making a video showing what you showed in this one and then showing that you can have different colors depending on the energy level as well would be an awesome idea.
I loved the video and how you gave detailed explanations. I also loved how you asked the question about why the colors changed in the plasma globe and then answered it. Great way to teach and even better way to learn. :) Keep it up, I know I saw this a lot, but I mean it.
Got tonight off of work so staying home and catching up on videos in my playlist. :)
i never ever seen a northen light before and i always wanted to see since i discover about northen lights thanks to you i can make the same project you made so i can simulate what it looks like thank you so much
I'm Casper the friendly Ghost 👻! Such a relief to cross paths with someone interested in plasma and electrical relations to gases...something about it is just so Supernatural! I love your video, can't wait to check out your channel. Thankyou for being you and true! Nice to see 👀 you and great job on your video, again.
Wow mate wouldn't be a far fetch to say you're truly underrated for the effort you put into each video and the quality of your content further manifests the same
Thank you for that. You're too kind. Now if I can just get ALL of my subs to watch new videos.......
Amazing video. I'm an electrical engineer because as a child I saw those plasma globes. Our high school had some of the low pressure noble gas tubes which I had the pleasure to play with, and I wanted to design a plasma globe but did not know how. Now I think that I know how to do it, only I don't have time :)).
Wow Plasma globe, I love it 🤩 Jay this video is made super high quality, Awesome 👍🏽 Jay you are amazing
Top notch, thanks.
Just a note: Canadian here. Northern lights are fairly common at 50 degrees ...not as common as 60 but still put on a great spectacle several times a year. The key is being away from any city glow.
Share this to electroboob,
And tell him to make a diy plasma globe.
Do it ❤️👍
"electroboob" ?
I thought electroboom
cant tell if that is a mistype of electronoob or electroboom
Sry it was may mistake it's- electroboom 😝
@@Tanjimkabirarek electric guitar, fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu
I love auroras. That big globe looks incredible! Want!
Wow, you absolutely have the best channel of its kind on CZcams. Keep the videos coming, they are great.
Tom, thanks a ton. Really appreciate your sentiment. If any of my videos are shareworthy, feel free to share. Helps the cause!
There is love then there is plasma...♥️
Alright after a few videos I'm hooked and subscribed. Always liked this type of stuff and you make it easy and fun.
Thanks man keep it up
Thank you, and welcome to my channel.
Great video. I love that big globe too. I used to have a 8 inch one but it shorted out inside after less than a year and was not on much at all.
Nice! Radio Shack used to sell a 10" plasma globe. It had a couple of adjustments for streamer characteristics.
I've even made a few plasma pickle jars many years ago. It doesn't take an expensive vacuum pump. I'd drill a small hole in the lid and place a strip of vinyl electrical tape loosely over the hole. I used a PVC end cap and rubber gasket to connect to the pump. I was surprised that the vacuum held for many months.
Really enjoyed this one mate! Informative and interesting!
Even I wanted to see the aurora since I was a child...
Btw, this video is perfectly beautiful... Needs more views.
I was fortunate enough to see the aurora once all the way down here at the 42nd parallel during some particularly strong solar storms 30-something years ago. It was bluish in color and was like nothing else I had ever seen.
This knowledge is valuable than anything for me Thank you sooo much ❤️👍
My pleasure, pretty crazy plasma glove, right?!
@@PlasmaChannel Thankyou for reply and yeah the glow was just mind blowing
This toy is great for the holidays 🎄
I love learning new things on your channel
you should have like 10 million subs your videos always make me smile and awe at the wonders of science
Thanks justin! That means a lot. You can help by sharing this video.
@@PlasmaChannel sure i am trying to make near silent blue lightning that looks like your see through coil experiment but everything oi try is too loud or not blue
Didn’t see the video come up in my recommended . Had to see your poll come up to know about it. Good video.
Thanks Brian. Are you notifications set to inform you of all uploads?
@@PlasmaChannel I’m not even sure how to do notifications, I just subscribe to people and hope it shows up in my recommended videos
I was real lucky as a kid. Back between '00 and '03 there was an aurora down here in the south. I was living in northern Mississippi at the time, and the sky had that reddish glow to it for a couple days.
I always wondered why the streamers varied in colour like this...very cool video. I hope you get the chance to witness the auroras yourself. They are truly amazing!
Thanks so much! Yeah... okay you got me bro. Now I’m jealous.
Great explanation, Jay, I was given a smaller globe for Christmas a few years back 👍
Watching it now that I know about it. Great video! 😊👍🏻
I had to use this video to explain the relation between a tesla coil, so I really appreciate this video so much
great video, not only for electronics but science too !
nice comeback i LOVE PLASMA awesome video
Nice video. I have a Masters in EE, Thesis was in High Voltage. Your videos remind me of the fun we had in our lab. LOL Thanks!
Michael, I really appreciate your input, especially as a person with a masters in EE. Glad my video brought a smile to you.
Again an amazing video Jay!
I want to someday see a Plasma Globe with two ball electrodes inside it placed at some distance with AC on electrodes operating 180 degrees out of phase to each other. Would like to see how the gases behave between the two electrodes under the influence of two sources of AC operating 180 degrees out of phase to each other. Would be even more interesting if the phase can be changed on the fly to 60, 90, 120, 180, etc. degrees on both electrodes.
Beautiful awesome video!!
Beautiful.
Wonderful! I hope you were in the Seattle area last night. What a show we had!
Aurora borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, In this part of the country, Localized entirely within your plasma ball!?
1st
SO NICE. Thank you for showing / teaching me!
It's my pleasure, friend.
Oh hey Kian!
@@theplasmaprince8651 Hey!
thanks man. i forgot how cool it was to see The Aurora Borealis.
where i live i can see it so i forgot. its nice to be reminded of the cool things you have near you
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah, ironically after I shot this video, an Aurora was supposed to be present for Seattle to see. Lies again. I went into the mountains and saw nothing.
@@PlasmaChannel lol sorry to hear that. it truly is breath taking on some nights. hope you can one day travel to somewhere that you can see it on a good night.
Wow, that is amazing toy. Technically gases stratify in the atmosphere. Heavier gas lower and lighter higher. The ionization penetration will be based on the intensity of the flares
Good job! Seeing arcs and auras never stops to amaze me! And I must note that both visual quality and content quality of Plasma Channel is really awesome!
An idea for experiment : We know that the arc finds the path with lowest resistance to form. I was wondering if it is possible to slightly change the direction of arc using electrical fields? In a simple scenario, imagine we have one positive side and two negative points. In normal conditions the arc will form between the positive and one(or both) of the negative(or ground) points. I was wondering if it is possible to direct the arc toward a specific ground point?
Your videos aren't just educational they are entertaining too.. *We enjoy them watching at our school*
I am honored your school uses my video
Best CZcams channel Ever I seen😍
You should check electroboom channel
@@Gingy_Highlights electro boom channel is also a very good channel but the plasma channel is most underrated CZcams channel ,J deserves more subscribers for his Hard work
@@Pavankumar-co9qv I appreciate that, thanks a ton. You can help spread the word of Plasma Channel by sharing any videos you think are awesome.
This is a ridiculously well made video
Watched all your videos j and all are so good and informative
Sir your teaching way excellent,
Easily understand
wow simply amazing !!
Wow! Very nice sir.
Oh! Coool! Wow! Nice!
Classy chad! Thanks for the christmas knowledge :)
I like your vid plasma channel!!!
I live under the northern lights, we see them sometimes and it’s really cool
Loved this video!
That is amazing
Wonderful video. I've only seen the red plasma globes before. Very cool.
Check out the company, link in description. Even if you dont get one, you'd be AMAZED at the options and globe effects that are possible.
Amazing dude
i had a small plasma ball since 7 years and i could not understand what a hell was going on it. thankz for a clear explanation. i think my plasma ball has mix of Xenon and Nitrogen.
Your videos are great.i am also interested in these type of science
I stayed 4 months on Svarbard and was able to see it a few times. It was a unique experience also because of the 3 months of total darkness.
Wonderful presentation 👏🏿👏🏿 I'm getting that large globe.
Glad you enjoyed it! If you contact Aurora Plasma design, Jerry can help you pick the right globe for your budget and for the effects you want! Tell them I sent you - I'm not getting paid if you mention my name, they just are friends of mine now.
Beautiful explanation , nice gadget
Thank you so much 🙂
I was expecting more, like freezing the plasma globe to make a funky haze or such, either way very informative and interesting.
Thankyou babeee
There are other aurora plasma, design-based gloves. I have different colors to mix with colors happen different lamps use different gases into different amounts, but they’re almost always noble gases in French and grinning place up to your eye for your plasma. Globe is nearby is ideal for analyzing its color spectrum
Hi Jay... I have 8" globe that has the centre electrode low down in the globe, it is actually in the neck of the globe which gives me the effect of your giant globe... I can get 8" streams from the electrode. I can see those variations of colour along the length of the streams.... It is very cool...... Thank you for another very cool video. I'll try to send a video sample to you.
Yeah on a clear night you can sometimes see the northern lights here in Scotland. They are beautiful and the scale of the flares are so immense. Photo's and video's don't do it any justice at all, you have to see them with your own eyes to appreciate it's beauty.
Scotland? Talk about a beautiful country. I've wanted to visit there for some time, and almost did a marathon there. Then....the Mexican beer wrecked planet Earth. It's my hope to make it there next year! What city are you in?
@@PlasmaChannel Thank you, yes it is a very beautiful country. I'm in Aberdeen (the granite city)
I love your videos!
Kyle, thanks so much! I really appreciate that. If there are any that you find are shareworthy, please feel free to share.
I saw one so clear and so low once when I was in the 10 grade I was about 15-16 years old to day I'm 29, it was awesome!
Cool vid and great explanation. I spent 3 days camping on Lake Superior few years ago and was graced with seeing the Aurora every night.
Someone needs to find a way to make Radon non-radioactive.
What I wouldnt give to do that!
thanks!
OMG! This video is super cool
So glad you enjoyed!
@@PlasmaChannel Can you make video about radio waves?
Oh so very jealous, been wanting an aurora genesis globe for years, but they don't ship to Australia.
Thanks for yet another great upload, very informative.
Cheers from a massive plasma nerd.
Honored that an Aussie commented. You live in the motherland, brother. Do you enjoy ‘how ridiculous’?
I used to run mine evenings next to my television while watching a movie, until I noticed that my sound systems would from time to time put out a nice very notable POP! that I quickly traced back to the plasma ball.
Good one !
Thanks ✌️
Man that globe is amazing! I have a bunch of smaller globes and i destroyed the electronics in some. Been looking for schematics for a plasma globe driver with a little more power with no luck. Maybe it's an idea to do a video about?
I'm saving up to get one of these. I also plan to make a corner for it and paint the corner as black as I can with regular paint and then apply Black 2.0 to make it absolutely pitch dark as an environment for this plasma globe. That should make the colors pop even more. Black 2.0 isn't cheap but it's not prohibitively expensive and I should get good coverage with even just one can if I fully prime it with regular matte black paint first...Should be worth it, but that's just me planning....haven't done it yet. :-)
At this stage in your life I would suggest a Scandinavian vacation. Especially with the long nights coming up in the winter season. You can watch The Aurora until you are exhausted.
Count me in!!!
1:31 So that is why despite the high current, lightning is still bright violet! I've always wondered that...
2:26 Hmmm all of them within the ionosphere...
3:20 Finally I know what's in my plasma globe!
3:29 Oh my haha.
5:28 Oh were you using a variac for this effect?
That is one angry plasma ball you have there, congrats on 150K!
Hey Prince, no the globe has a dimmer knob on it! Thanks for watching!
@@PlasmaChannel Oh so that's what that was! Man that company makes some nice globes!
I just got the 8" Genesis version. Beautiful. I avoided the toy ones for decades and with the money I saved I got this beautiful window to the etherial quantum realm. Everyone needs one of these. I'll use it to summon a few spirit-dragons, then try to deflea the cats with it.
i placed my tesla bifilar coil on top of mine and its capacitive coupling gave me a surprising surprise when i picked it back up
by the way... ALWAYS a huge fan of yours!!!
Thanks Nima!
Got your vote first than the video
I think something went wrong video is amazing
