Plasma effects

Plasma balls

Thrilled by the magic when the bluish flashes follow the hand movements on the glass surface, plasma effects captivate young and old. Behind the impressive colorful effects lies pure science. The plasma ball allows visitors to experience electrical phenomena on their own bodies. This sphere was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1892. He called it the noble gas discharge tube. While the plasma ball served scientific purposes at that time, today it is mainly used for entertainment, because the colorful lightning effects always cause fascination. The sphere contains a mixture of noble gases, mainly neon and xenon. There is also some argon mixed in. Nitrogen and oxygen in very small quantities influence the shapes of the flashes.

For whom are plasma spheres suitable?

The popular effect lamps are especially suitable for technology enthusiasts and young at heart. Plasma effects are a popular decorative element in living rooms, children's rooms, bedrooms or offices. In addition, plasma spheres are an ideal gift for children over 12 years old. Especially for children, the spheres arouse interest in physics, nature and technology. Physical laws can be taught in a playful way. Beyond the physics behind the plasma balls, the lamps with their colorful flashes provide enthusiasm on all sides.

What to look for when buying?

To enjoy your plasma ball for a long time, you should pay attention to a few things.

Stability: Make sure that the ball is mounted on a stable base. After all, the effect only really works when you touch the ball - a firm stand is essential for this.

Safe power supply: To ensure a safe power supply, make sure that the power supply is CE certified.

Crystal clear: To admire the colorful effects, it is important that the ball is clean. Only then can you enjoy the colorful discharges.

Special forms

Plasma effects come in different colors, but mostly they are green or blue. The lamps also vary in size. The smallest have a diameter of 7 cm and can be worn on the waistband. The largest plasma ball in the world has a diameter of 1 meter. It is located in Switzerland and can be admired in the Swiss Science Center Technorama. Plasma effects do not necessarily have to take place in spheres. In our store we also have other shapes ready for you:

The plasma tube: The principle of this lamp are exactly like the plasma ball. However, the structure is cylindrical in an elongated tube. Especially in dark corners, the colorful effect of this lamp comes out very nicely. As party lighting, a plasma tube is a real eye-catcher and enhances the play of light at any party.

Plasma disk: Here, too, exactly the same technology as with the plasma ball provides for fascination. The disc can be easily attached to the wall and provides futuristic lighting effects in the party cellar, club or living room. The plasma disk got cult status through the Star Trek series. Both Star Trek TNG and Star Trek Voyager used the plasma effects in the Borg cube.
