High Temperature Plasma Shield

[Bloodstream8]

That isn't a force field. That's just ionised air.

[DistinctLamb]

Now strap it on to your chest,and you shall be,Iron Man.

[Aedazan]

I have made a post on my main channel page. It is about whether or not I should make a video on how to make the 'shield' device!! So if you want to impress your friends with your plasma 'shield' or (maybe) kill yourself in the process go to my main channel and like the post!

[firebomber39]

@Aedazan I'm guessing you're using the magnet from a computer's HDD to hold the rest in place and perhaps attract the plasma (still learning about it). and you said a TV too so are you just using the transformer from a TV to shoot a spark hot enough across the gap to the other metal surface to ionize the air and make plasma? I really wanna make one of my own as i have a few ideas for plasma forcefields and thrusters >:D

[Aedazan]

@firebomber39 Indeed, I am using the fly-back transformer from a cathode ray television (circa 1970) to output the required voltage. I would highly suggest that you do first year university electrical engineering, might be useful if you haven't done it already :P. I have since refined the design of this device (haven't uploaded it) and am running it off a rectified output fly-back from a 2003 model computer monitor :)

[Amazingmandan333]

2 requests:

1) Make it bigger.

2) Make a tutorial.

=)

[riff42]

How is this a forceshield again?

[iEugene1994]

Looooot of power ... 12W supply will be enouth ...

[straitvodka]

Hello are you still working with plasma? I see this video is 2 years old? What sort of power are you putting into it. How is the plasma made in thin air, what would happen if you ran it into a vacuum gas tube instead?

[LUVB6CPPgmodcsscoder]

flyback :)

[MDSVes]

this is cool but the hoverboard vids are still fake.

[CakeRocket9]

I recommend you add an HD setting to this video

[kojirodudeman]

This needs a more energy efficient way to be made. Or an alternative power source, have you tried a nuclear fission battery?

[radioflyer68911]

What is it Shielding? The point of a shield is to protect something from something else. All I can see is that it's protecting the epicenter from being poked with a finger. That could be achieved with a simple flame.

[Ponder1ng]

@radioflyer68911 he's calling it a "plasma shield" because in industrial use, these things can maintain a vacuum against 9atmospheres of pressure. In science fiction terms, that means that while admittedly you cant protect your fantasy warp 9 spaceship against your antagonists' torpedos and such, you could, with enough power, have one of those fancy hanger doors that allows ships to enter and exit, while keeping the air tight inside. It could also protect against electrolasers..

[Tarinob]

lol that Iron-Thing ist es part of harddrive^^

[TheCort1971]

is that based on an open ended vacuum?



[raptor731]

fun

[0RPH3U5the666r3ml1n]

"i recommend watching this video in HD"

*only puts it in 480p*

"...problem? ;)"

[garrysurrey]

drop a fly or another unsuspecting bug in the shield!!

[Angularocillation]

last time i electrocuted a magnet, it was with 1 or 2 thousand volts from a microwave transformer and it did not do that, it killed the magnet. that metal ring might be whats preventing direct conduction though. pretty cool.

[rcee86]

That silver base is a magnet that came out of a hard drive..

[staticbb]

now shoot space dust into it. 

[alek4ever91]

''I reccomend watching this video in HD'' oh ok *klicks button to turn it to 720p+ and notices it has 480 max* FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!­! Y U ONLY HAVE 480 WHEN U SAY U HAVE HD!

[eilselyiu8]

well, then thats just a force feild against certain waves around u,

[robotsourus4]

Can it deflect bullets yet?

[Omegax9000]

Very good start.

[smatteringofapplause]

Increase the oscillation speed, amp up the power and find a way to do it from only one side and you've got a workable shield!

[jaws99099]

Some of the comments are so ignorant. Nice Vid tho..

[VorVZakonie]

dude,isn't that a tesla coil ?

[healer378]

Can it repel a bullet? If force gets intensified, it can repel even a tank shell. Good case for a defense contract. Keep up the good job.

[raptor731]

@healer378 uh you do realize this isnt a real force shield, right, just plasma controlled by a magnetic field? if it were a force shield, I would already be taking over the world LOL

[darksahdowofthewolf]

@raptor731 plasma shield in princible is very possible, plasma windows / valves area already in use to allow for a separation of gases and a vacuum.

The issue is, if you wanted something that would be useful as a defensive technology then you run into very real hard energy limits. we are talking about 8 kW/cm it likely much for if you want it to stop something like say a bullet. soo we are talking tW ranges of power.

[KawallaBair]

@darksahdowofthewolf The bigger issue would be the burns you get on the inside of the shield. I would rather be outside it than in it.

[umum80]

This is why aliens obduct people, they steal thier ideas, better get thousands of car batteries my friend cuz you gunna need a forcefield around yo house!

[tmar23]

You recommend watching in HD yet you didn't upload it in HD...

Shield? Force field? So it's a barrier against something, OK. What exactly does it prevent from penetrating it. Don't call it something it isn't. It's only an electrical ark manipulated by a magnet.

[GamerPheonix01]

whoa whoa wait isnt that illegal?

[Aedazan]

@GamerPheonix01 Just as illegal as it is to own a TV and a Computer, its made out of their parts all functioning as 'intended' just in a different configuration.

[aradioactivedonut]

@Aedazan Haven't you heard "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling."?

[chadbaker666999]

@Aedazan Maike a Railgun....Me and my friends are and where 18....

[sukaii]

@GamerPheonix01

Say what? why in the world would this be illigal? and were?

[iNekoNaru]

@GamerPheonix01 Why would it be illegal?

[xadam2dudex]

shoot a phaser at it and see if it will absorb the energy if it does u got something there it can be used on the next generation of starships

[Chewsiffer]

I've been trying to figure out how to create plasma like you've done for awhile, i really want to do it as an experiment.  Could someone help me by telling me what I need and how to set it up?

[DanFrederiksen]

looks dangerous : )

[OverseerJames]

If we could place little blotches of this on power armor we could have shielded armor like in Halo. Or we could put i shield like this around cites it could even vaporize radiation.

[Aedazan]

Just normal air

[CanadianStoner1001]

I think you could make a netted material or fabric that you could run plasma over with ease, since AC current like to travel over a surface rather than through it, then it could be possible to make cloaks, lightsabers, aerodynamic coverings, etc.

[rmourita]

Hey there, what do you have there?

Are those 2 car batteries and 2 step-up transformers and a big ass magnet to "drive" the plasma?

Is it "really" all you need?

I have a 60kilo neod. magnet... this could be fun, i also have 2 batteries... well... all i'm missing is the transformer :(

Do you use capacitors?

[cowsrock94]

How did you make this?

[monumentalbasser]

first sentence in video: I recommend watching this video in HD

go for HD option... there is none... and no link to HD version

video loses all credibility within first second, nice

[danielkennedy91]

its a plasma arc, it spins fast to make it appear solid

[kaliapoo]

basicly its not a stable beam that lasts long enough to make a full 360 degree rotation it just beams at one side then beams the other side so fast that your eye cannot keep up so it looks as if it was spinning

[SmashMaterFlex]

go on....touch it.

[Kanteification]

Can you show it stopping something going through it?... I want to see the shield part of it

[silentknight2112]

@Kanteification if you pass a peice of metal through it it will melt it.... like a plasma cutter

[Kanteification]

@silentknight2112 AH YES! thats good... means you won't get hit by a lump of metal.. uh.. you just get hit with a lump of melted... metal... still bad?

[knightmare117]

can probably make a lightsaber out of this!

[trav42073]

your just playing with plasma cutter parts

[Aedazan]

@trav42073 actually they are microwave and TV parts..

[MultiIPwnage]

@Aedazan I have spare microwaves and tvs I want to do this how!!!

[baronofcheese]

@Aedazan Just heat up the air with microwaves. Fun stuff.

[1NX9]

@Aedazan

Do you have to use some kind of special gas to do this Aedazan??

Exciting stuff your doing! ^_^

[PersianPaladin]

How hot is it?

[roxasfalen]

is it spinning?

[Aedazan]

@roxasfalen not really, its creating a beam of plasma that is moving in a circle really fast

[roxasfalen]

@Aedazan .......so its spinning

[Aedazan]

@roxasfalen no, there is nothing that spins..

[roxasfalen]

@Aedazan u said it moves in a circle really fast in my books thats spinning

[silentknight2112]

@Aedazan except for the plasma? :) jk i had to say it

[baronofcheese]

@Aedazan Except Ionized gas.

[Youngsmurf98]

@Aedazan If the beam moves in circles, that means it spins, am I wrong

[azdgariarada]

@Youngsmurf98 See this clip...

/watch?v=uQl5aYhkF3E

"you're not wrong, you're just an asshole"

[Rayden440]

Does this shield just incinerate anything that touches it or repels them?

[DeathM10]

@Rayden440 Well.. Its a high temperature shield so.. it will probably melt the things that touch it. (Depend on what thing your using to touch the shield)

[FelipeZucchetti]

HOW MUCH ºC?? NICE EXPERIMENT...:S

[Aedazan]

@FelipeZucchetti Honestly i do not know. Ive turned tungsten into dust with it very easily and it melts various metals such as aluminum iron and copper. Recently i used it to make sodium :D

[4515jonny]

Look like the future is near

[lycanzer]

do u think that a highly powerful plasma shield can withstand the force of a thousand hydrogen bombs ??

[Aedazan]

@lycanzer a huge shield could if it had a big enough power source. It could stop the explosion and the alpha/beta radiation but the gamma and neutron radiation would still easily penetrate the shield

[1FutureMarine1]

Very cool. I'm not exactly bright when it comes to scientific mumbo jumbo but as an apprentice gun smith/metal worker, would this be an effective way to smelt metals in stead of a forge? Also you say "plasma shield" did you call it that because it can "reflect" objects away? Or did you call it that because it melts things fast?

[MrPeterman564]

so, what if u touched it, or threw somn at it?

[FROSTYDEAN15]

so a lightsaber can be made then

when do you think you could start building one you kno who ever does will be ritch right?

[FROSTYDEAN15]

so could a lightsaber be made using this?

[Aedazan]

@FROSTYDEAN15 You know, i had the same idea. If you were able to increase the voltage and repel the discharge away from the body of the 'beam' i suppose it could be possible. Ill give it some thought.

[FROSTYDEAN15]

@Aedazan if it could be done then that would be awsorme

when do you think if ever it could be made?

[fastweirdo]

@Aedazan

Wouldn't you need to have something to "catch" the beam if you were to try to make a lightsaber?

[bioniclemastermandud]

@fastweirdo yes unless you want it to melt ur home XD

[ghostrider655]

@FROSTYDEAN15 Actually, A lightsaber can be made using a flashlight, some gems, and a lot of duct tape! :)

[cowsrock94]

@FROSTYDEAN15 Theoretically, if you could bend magnetic fields to the shape of a lightsaber, then fill that field with high density plasma. it would require a ton of electricity though.

[benspreen]

@FROSTYDEAN15 theoreticaly yes

but it would be less awesome because the plasma is kinda like a line between 2 points so it would mostlikley have to be single sided and would only cut one way, also youd need a 50+lb. back pack full of powersupply

[princeofexcess]

@FROSTYDEAN15 answer yes. :)

[MEGA93M]

@FROSTYDEAN15 no



[Annile12]

@FROSTYDEAN15 Not with today's technology, but plasma can be manipulated by magnetic fields, so it is theoretically possible.

[jjtheslayer69]

@FROSTYDEAN15 im a scientist and thats a big yes

[ultimumpower]

@FROSTYDEAN15 fuck lightsabers, how about we go on and make some plasma grenades

[fromstart2finish]

@ultimumpower

No, we need plasma shields first so bullets and rpgs would be useless.

[TheQuantumExplorer]

and when are you gonna tell me how to make one? looks simple, yet fun!

[ldragonheart]

hdd magnet

[secretring97]

soooo how are those lightsabers coming along? XD

[Aedazan]

@secretring97 As soon as they make a portable and affordable fusion battery, ill get started on making one.

[PERZN4LIFE]

one question......is this physics or is this chemistry?

[panzuman]

@PERZN4LIFE physics

[relaxedchong]

what does this shield do? sorry

[PsionNinja]

Ever consider doing this in a vacuum? what do you think it'd do? Perhaps require less power?

[Aedazan]

If it was in a vacuum there would be far less resistance between the two conductive plates and thus the size of the shield could be drastically increased.

[bucketfan1012]

and isn't that magnet from a computer??? Just wondering as I have like 10 of this just sitting in the other room

[Aedazan]

Yes

[bucketfan1012]

You could always use something like 2 or 3 stun gun batteries to power it, like the 500,000 volt batteries, it would probably power it, and hold a charge for quite a while. Its just a theory, never tested it myself, but plan to one day

[Aedazan]

Im not sure that that would work, the frequency might not be high enough.

[bucketfan1012]

If you could somehow adjust the output it could work, i'm still trying to work out the kinks in my theory before I try to test anything for fear of blowing myself up or something similar

[Aedazan]

True. if you had a high voltage capacitor and a high voltage transistor (do they exsist?) you could charge the capacitor and pulse the output from the capacitor at whatever frequency you wanted.

[doodman325]

can u post a video on how you made it?

[QuantumCarl]

That object looks familiar.

Like a brake caliper or a... damn it, it looks so damn familiar...

[T3XProductions]

Does it repel objects?

[Aedazan]

It does but not much, it mainly burns everything to a crisp.

[T3XProductions]

oh well haha
