Plasma Speaker - DREAM THEATER / LTE - Acid Rain

Here's an extract from LTE / Dream Theater's Acid Rain.

The arc is powered up slowly, to demonstrate that it is
indeed the plasma producing the music you can hear.

A few of you had mentioned you might like to hear a DT / LTE track - here it is :)

Anyone know of the bass potential of plasma?

[timetec]

@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. ;)

[DeathlyHall0w]

why is it always distorted in beginning, and then smooths out

[timetec]

@DeathlyHall0w read the description and you'll know ;)

[samvcool]

i wouldnt want this in headphones

[papcyrill]

@GrowlingVocals TESLA invented this actually and yes he was very smart ! the smartest i can say lol

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.

@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)

[kbr7ly1]

I don t know were do you live and what you use als information,Here in Holland many years ago they use to say the same .Did you look what i told you ? Ozone is not an oxidant .Doe s not help fire ,for example .And the ozone layer ? I jave experience with that more than 40 years.Yes can irritate but nothing more .Consultate the American Army antyany virus -bacteria-fongus apart of toxic gases etc .I saw the evolution of this in the media with the years.Look LOS ALAMOS OZONE -FINISH

@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"

[kbr7ly1]

@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)

[kbr7ly1]

IF YOUR DIVICE PRODUCE ALSO OZONE (LIKE SHOULD BE IF THAT IS REAL PLASMA) CONECTING THE TESLA C. TO AN AMP WHO IS REPRODUCING WHITE NOISE _THAT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MEDICINAL MACHINE .ONE FOR TO HAVE ALWAYS IN HOME .

[AudioFileZ]

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!

[JLowe2013]

What devilry is this?

[deeaks100]

@papcyrill William Duddell actually invented it, but you are correct about Tesla being very smart.

@Kanc1erz I made a half-bridge now. 1v on the gate!? wouldn't that make the MOSFET operate in the linear region?
