@kbr7ly1 are you insane? ozone is a serious oxidant.
"Even very low concentrations of ozone can be harmful to the upper respiratory tract and the lungs. The severity of injury depends on both by the concentration of ozone and the duration of exposure. Severe and permanent lung injury or death could result from even a very short-term exposure to relatively low concentrations"
Does the plasma arc cause ionization of the air that would cause health problems if not used in a highly vented environment? You can't beat the speed of sound reproduced without any moving diaphragms...Plasma rules as far as reproduction of mid-range to high frequency bands!
@AudioFileZ WHAT YOU SAID DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUN SENSE .OZONE IS PRODUCE IT FOR THE LIGHTINGS OLSO .FOR TO CREATE THE OZONE LAYER...IS INCREDIBLE YOU DONT REMEMBER A TWETER (IN THE MEDICINAL CASE ARE IMPORTANT THE SUPERIOR ARMONICS)AND IN YOUR CASE ARE IMPORTANT THE INFERIOR ARMONICS.(LOW FRECUENCIES)
@AudioFileZ YOU ARE A DELIRANT ! WE ARE NOT TALKING OF SOUND ANY MORE HERE - ARE FRECUENCYS IN THE SPACE AROUND THE DIVICE .THE FRECUENCYS ARE SO HIGH .SO SMALL BAND ,THEY CAN INTERACT WITH THE MICROCOSMOS (VIRUS-GAS MOLECULS ETC)
@Alex1M6 - Get stronger MOSFET's or tone down your power a tad. You can also make these with a PWM IC, but you use MOSFET's as well, but might not kill them as easily.
@yanasitta You can't. Well, you can, but it's unfeasible. You *want* mass with a subwoofer, to drive the air. This is massless; the air is itself driven by ionised air. That means it has incredibly high damping and low response time, but can't move a huge amount of air. It doesn't need to, because high frequency sounds carry more energy. But low frequency would be pretty well impossible.
Oh.. I can't get enough for seeing the beat in the plasma. Most other guys contraptions in youtube don't give much bass as this does. :)
I have an suggestion: I know the circuit has some base frequency at rate it's firing the arc. Instead of modulating the plasma frequency - what about modulating the intensity of the arc?
i made a flyback plasma speaker too, but i added a musicall interrupter that i created, it gives a really amazing effect, pulsing with the square wave song input, giving a really loud distortion! really similar as drsstc (like arcattack tesla coils), here it is playing dr who's theme: /watch?v=H5z4xEy1NQc
@timetec How is volume modulated? Through current levels? Along the same lines, what is the "top end" for volume? I'm assuming that there wouldn't be the natural distortion/sound breakup that you get with standard speakers when you overdrive them
@Theoatob a plasma subwoofer ? - yes, in theory possible, but would require masses amounts of power to obtain a very long, high current arc. ie very unstable and difficult to control. This has decent bass down to below 200Hz as you can hear. ;)
@timetec Ahh i see. Well lets hope too see them I imagine that it has the potential to produce sound of better clarity than conventional speakers. I look forward to the day when rigs have plasma bass bins :D
@timetec I know it's late. But Plasma has too little particles to make a bass sound. It can not move air in that mass. So it can't generate the bass frequency.
@timetec couldn't we use some sort of sheiling, possibly something of the same polarity surrounding the arc 360 degrees around to keep it in line and controlled?
@benjwgarner I think you read this on wiki, well this one is different. The arc is cool because of the low amperage, but still efficiency is very low, about 0,5-1%, arcs just don't move air very well =)
@3029dz The frequency response changes as the gap becomes larger. But with that comes a decrease in volume as well. You'd need higher voltages to drive a large gap at the same volume as a smaller gap.
@Jerberspace99 I can see that working.you would need it to be powered by some carrier, obviously. But then bring it into some sort of differential amplfier, take a signal and that to the preamp. something like this, I can see it working. the main problem would of course be low frequencies. this arc acts as a sort of high pass filter...but the theory would be sweet
@Jerberspace99 I dont think so. Plasma cannot be created and held in place without giving off some frequency via the expansion of air around it, whereas speakers can be held with no effect on the sound around them. In other words, it'd be a really noisy microphone. The sound waves hitting the plasma (for lack of a better wording) would not change the heat intensity of the plasma, so no sound would be created.
@ElMuerte69 Sadly, Plasma Speakers don't have much of a future...They need a constant steady flow of ionizable gas, helium is a good example...also, Plasma Speakers give off ozone, which can kill you if you're in a closed environment. but still, they are great novelties, something just to have, but I seriously don't recommend playing them 24/7, if the cost of buying ionizable gas doesn't hurt you, then the ozone will...
The light is light, but the 'waste' (in photons) of the electromechanical effect, so I see it. Plasma is a good example of a high state of energy. Like water, we have ice (slowest atomic movement), then liquid water (a workable yet slow state of atoms), then steam (a more agitaged, more excited form of water), then plasma (which is the highest form of energy level water can get to). At the plasma, all molecules around the 'field' are prone to influence by another input, maybe a 'third wave'.
PLASMA.:THERE ARE 2 SORTS :SUN PLASMA (ORANGE),SO HOT ,SO HOT ,THAT ONLY CAN BE CONTAINED INTO MAGNETIC FIELDS (IN LAB CONDITIONS) .THE OTHER IS THE ONE PRODUCED WITH HIGH TENSION ;IS CELEST (LIKE THE SKY) AND COLD .IN THE TVs ,THE TESLA COIL IS CALL FLY-BACK.NOTHING TO BE PLAYING WITH.!! THIS COIL WORKS WITH ALMOST 17.000HZ .LATER WITH A DIODE THEY GET THE DC FOR THE ACELERATORS. AND EVENTUALY AN OZONE GENERATOR .THIS GAS IS VERY ANESTABLE, CHANGE TO OXIGENO FAST.
Modulating the voltage/current proportionally modulates the diameter and temperature of the plasma arc. This process effectively modulates air pressure via heating/cooling - which is what we know as sound. To input on the confusion there seemed to be earlier. Touching it would not be advised - severe burns accompanying coronal discharge, nerve damage, and other symptoms conducive to death. Just be sure to say "Hey guys, watch this!" before you do.
@PHXMASTER@Ocelot93090 this works on the same concept as lightning creating thunder, this is done by the arc changing the air pressure to create sound
This is so wierd, I had a dream about speakers like this a long time ago, using an arc to produce sound, but after I woke up I didn't think it could actually work. But now many years later I see it is possible. The sound quality is very much like how it was in my dream too.
Blood plasma is the biological liquid medium that carries all the shit you see in blood, plasma is also a state of matter where the all of an atom's electrons have been ripped away due to high energy input.
Looks to me like the only thing that could even potentially be detrimental to the sound is the wandering of the arc... Any plans on how to restrict that?
The reality of Science Fiction is that, if they ever do produce space ships like they have in most science fiction, energy will be transfered in this form. With epic music plasma.
This kind of design (Ionic discharge) dates back to the 1950s in commercially successful products like the original Ionovac tweeters used in such vintage systems as B&W P2s.
This type of design being massless (or almost massless) is theoretically the perfect tweeter. Attempts at making a wide or full range version were unsuccessful and impractical---requiring thousands of watts of power them and toxic ozone emissions as a nasty side effect.
Hello I have just uploaded a couple videos of my first plasma speaker and I'm looking for some feedback pls check out my page and thanks btw you're setup is nice
Hello! First of all I'd like to say that this video has been an inspiration for all sorts of creative thinking, as well as a great show-n-tell video at parties. I'm wondering if you can perhaps share diagrams or a summery of equipment used to create this awesome machine. It's my hope to build one as a project for school, and to experiment w/ it's design. My project is to create a machine that is *uniquely* capable of transmitting light or sound that is perceptible to a human audience. TY u ROCK!
If I understand correctly, biologic plasma is to your blood/blood vessels what the cytoplasm is to a cell. It's the liquidy substance filled with nutrients, chemicals, and waste products in which red blood cells float. Aka that clear, crusty, yellow stuff that oozes out of scrapes
The other kind of plasma though is what happens to a substance when it is heated beyond gas, and it is apparently considered the 4th state of matter. Plasma is... I'm not sure if superconductive is the right word, but it has a very interesting relationship with electricity.
is you touc it you wont get burned it probably wont even hurt but you could suffer internal muscle damage that could take months to heal or just die if the current passes thru your heart :P
i think you might be able to by adding more energy to the arc,hightening the frequency or makeing the arc longer by mokeing the two rods used to make the arc farther apart.
Normal tweeters and such have a hard time with very high sounds because of the nature of how it works. A medium makes the actual sound waves, and has to return to a neutral position after every sound. The dancing arc has no medium to travel through so you get amazing high end sounds. But poor low end sounds because you'd need a much larger arc to generate the longer sound waves of low pitches.

@monstercameron it doesn't but plasma speakers can work pretty well as tweeters.

@monstercameron it would require huge voltage and amperage to "feel" the bass

hey...does this emmit a bunch of UV Rad.? cause i know you can get flash burned by arc welding....not a fun process, trust me I know.

Dude Gratz, your setup has one of the best sounds on youtube, or you have a quality mic to record it....:)

If you had enough voltage/ amperage, do you think you build stereo Plasma speaker?

1. I thought plasma was coagulated blood, what the hell is plasma then?? fire, electricity, super heated gas?! 2. what if you touch it? XD

@Thewaterofthepool originally plasma was something akin to "ether" it was just "shit in between"

If I understand correctly, biologic plasma is to your blood/blood vessels what the cytoplasm is to a cell. It's the liquidy substance filled with nutrients, chemicals, and waste products in which red blood cells float. Aka that clear, crusty, yellow stuff that oozes out of scrapes

The other kind of plasma though is what happens to a substance when it is heated beyond gas, and it is apparently considered the 4th state of matter. Plasma is... I'm not sure if superconductive is the right word, but it has a very interesting relationship with electricity.
I hope that helps you get oriented. :)

@Thewaterofthepool plasma is a state of mater (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) when the mater is hot enough it's plasma

@Thewaterofthepool super heated gas. It's a fourth stage of matter, where the electrons are going haywire. If you touch it you'll get a nice burn.

is you touc it you wont get burned it probably wont even hurt but you could suffer internal muscle damage that could take months to heal or just die if the current passes thru your heart :P

@Thewaterofthepool plasma is either blood, electricity or a fourth state of matter.

@Thewaterofthepool depends if you're talking to a biologist or a physicist- but you're right on both accounts.

@Thewaterofthepool thats a different plasma. plasma from blood has nothing to do with this

can you turn the volume up or down? or does it have to stay the same because of the arc?
blainegoodrich 1 year ago
i think you might be able to by adding more energy to the arc,hightening the frequency or makeing the arc longer by mokeing the two rods used to make the arc farther apart.

Normal tweeters and such have a hard time with very high sounds because of the nature of how it works. A medium makes the actual sound waves, and has to return to a neutral position after every sound. The dancing arc has no medium to travel through so you get amazing high end sounds. But poor low end sounds because you'd need a much larger arc to generate the longer sound waves of low pitches.
