A plasma tube may not be particularly useful beyond educational purposes, but it does look very cool. We do enjoy a nice high-voltage project around these parts, after all.

The welder he’s working from in this project uses low-voltage alternating current to drive the welding process, but since a plasma cutter ionizes gas it needs high-voltage direct current.

Vargas et al. designed a collection of low-cost sensors and circuits for plasma experiments, providing easier access to ...

By using a plasma created by high voltage moving across a wing’s surface, researchers devised and tested a technique for deicing aircraft wings that doesn’t rely on diverted engine heat ...

The findings identified three different breakdown regimes that become important when high voltage is used to turn helium into plasma.

We've seen a number of strange stomps over the years, but nothing quite compares to the Plasma Pedal from Gamechanger Audio. This innovative fuzz box routes a guitar's signal through a gas-filled ...

Since testing a high-voltage plasma switch is slow and expensive, GE has turned to PPPL to model the switch to demonstrate how the high current affects the helium gas that the company is using ...

Embark on thrilling adventures with us as we explore some of the most mysterious, dangerous, and captivating locations around the world! From electric bike expeditions on Everest to surviving on ...

Conversely, the DC voltage cold plasma device simplifies creation of electrically safe system. “Our cold plasma technology offers a much simpler and cost-effective system compared to e-beams or gamma ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have developed a new device that uses cold plasma technology that could transform how medical tools are sterilized. The device generates cold ...
