Plasma globe
Plasma globe. Streamers of light inside a plasma globe. This device comprises a glass sphere filled with gas at low pressure. At its centre is a metal ball (centre) which is charged with electricity. When the voltage is high enough, the electricity discharges across the sphere to the glass wall. This ionises the gas along the path the discharge follows, causing it to emit light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a plasma globe. The image captures the intricate streamers of light dancing inside the glass sphere, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. This remarkable device is a testament to the wonders of technology and electrical engineering. At its core, this plasma globe consists of a glass sphere filled with gas at low pressure. Positioned in the center is a metal ball that carries an electric charge. When the voltage reaches a certain level, electricity discharges across the sphere towards its glass walls. As this discharge occurs, it ionizes the gas along its path, resulting in an awe-inspiring emission of vibrant light. The photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal but also emphasizes how energy and industry intersect with physics in this innovative creation. It serves as a reminder of our continuous exploration into harnessing electrical power for various applications. Capturing both science and artistry, this image from Science Photo Library encapsulates the dynamic nature of plasma globes and their ability to captivate viewers with their ethereal glow. Whether used for educational purposes or simply admired for their visual allure, these devices are truly fascinating examples of human ingenuity at work in unlocking new frontiers within technology and energy research.
