Tesla Coil Plasma Ball – Touch & Sound Activated Lightning Sphere

The plasma ball, also known as a plasma lamp, was invented by the renowned engineer Nikola Tesla during his experiments with high-frequency currents in vacuum glass tubes. Tesla originally referred to his invention as the “inert gas discharge tube,” which he later adapted for use in lighting, paving the way for modern fluorescent lights. The plasma ball comprises a sealed glass sphere filled with low-pressure inert gases. At its center is a high-voltage electrode connected to a power source. When powered on, the current ionizes the gas, creating a mesmerizing plasma display. The fascinating visual effects demonstrate the properties of plasma, the fourth state of matter.

Product Features:

• Interactive Touch Response: Touch the surface of the plasma ball to influence the patterns of plasma filaments.
• Sound Activation: (Sound Control Version only) The plasma ball responds to music and sound, flashing in sync with the rhythm.
• Variety of Sizes: Available in two sizes – 8CM (3 inches) and 13CM (5 inches) diameter.
• High-Quality Construction: Durable glass sphere with a sturdy base, designed for both educational and decorative use.
• Wide Voltage Compatibility: Operates on 100V-240V power supply.

Technical Specifications:

• Power Consumption: 6W-10W
• Colors Available: Red and Blue (Note: The blue version has a phosphor coating, making it appear semi-transparent when off)
• Light Source Type: Other/Custom
• Warranty: 1 year

Dimensions and Weight:

• 8CM Version: Ball Diameter: 8CM (3 inches)
• 13CM Version: Ball Diameter: 13CM (5 inches)

Operating Instructions:

1. Setup:

   • Place the plasma ball on a stable, flat surface.
   • Connect the power adapter to the base of the plasma ball.
   • Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet (100V-240V).

2. Touch Interaction:

   • Turn on the plasma ball using the switch on the base.
   • Touch the glass sphere to see the plasma filaments react to your fingertips, creating beautiful patterns.

3. Sound Activation (Sound Control Version):

   • Activate the sound control mode using the switch on the base.
   • Play music or create sounds to see the plasma ball respond and flash in sync with the rhythm.

4. Plasma Excitation:

   • Bring a non-powered plasma ball close to an active one to observe the ionization effect transferring, lighting up the nearby ball.

Safety Guidelines:

• Supervision: Always supervise children when using the plasma ball to prevent accidents.
• Heat: Avoid prolonged touch interaction as the glass can become warm.
• Placement: Do not place the plasma ball near sensitive electronic devices to avoid interference.
• Cleaning: Clean the glass sphere with a soft, dry cloth to maintain clarity and performance.

Tips for Optimal Use:

• Lighting: Use in a dimly lit room to fully appreciate the plasma effects.
• Music Sync: For the best sound activation experience, place the plasma ball near the sound source.
• Handling: Handle with care to avoid breaking the glass sphere.

Background on Nikola Tesla and the Tesla Coil:

Nikola Tesla, an extraordinary inventor and electrical engineer, developed the Tesla coil in the late 19th century. His work on high-frequency currents and wireless power transmission laid the groundwork for many modern technologies. Tesla’s experiments with high-voltage electricity in vacuum tubes led to the invention of devices like the plasma ball. The Tesla coil itself is a high-frequency transformer that uses electromagnetic induction and LC resonance to produce high-voltage, low-current electricity, capable of creating visible electrical arcs and other striking visual effects.

Applications:

• Educational Tool: Perfect for demonstrating electrical and plasma physics principles in classrooms and science fairs.
• Decorative Piece: Adds a captivating and dynamic visual element to any room or event.
• Interactive Entertainment: Provides a hands-on way to engage with the fascinating properties of plasma.

Note:

• Product Selection: We offer only the most aesthetically balanced sizes, avoiding extremes that compromise the visual appeal.
• Color Options: We do not offer the blue version due to its less appealing appearance when powered off.

Experience the wonder of high-voltage electricity and plasma with our Tesla Coil Plasma Ball. Whether for education, decoration, or sheer fascination, this device brings a piece of Nikola Tesla’s groundbreaking legacy into your home.
