Serenity is nice, but other times we like to go out to see a fireworks display or a laser lightshow. This is another sample of what I call "lightning in a bottle"--a basketball-sized plasma globe fired up for long plasma arcs and high speed motion. It is the same plasma globe that shows the bright blue octopus effect seen in another video of mine, but this time it's running on a higher control frequency. This is also a "Modern Frequencies" Light Sculpture by Bill Parker.

  • Where can I get one?

  • @mikeelizalde Try Information Unlimited (online supplier) or Wayne Strattman with Strattman Studios (online) in Boston. Bill Parker is still in Stamford, CT and this mixture/image is published by him as "Modern Frequencies"

  • what gas is in this globe

  • It's mostly xenon. There may be a trace amount of color enhancer but Parker has never revealed exactly what additive he uses with xenon to enhance the blue color.

  • FORMIDABLE!

  • Thanks. Nothing else moves quite as fast ( or looks as intimidating) as ionized xenon.

  • Thanks for the supplier info StandingWulf!

  • @StandingWulf Damn. Parker is a freaking genius.

  • Nope. Quite comfortable to the touch. There is a mild buzzing sensation, like holding a fly in your cupped hand when you place your hand near the glass but not quite touching. These things were made to be interactive sculptures

  • It hurts (?)
