Can Electric Sparks Happen In a Vacuum? Putting an Open Plasma Ball In a Vacuum Chamber
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- In this video I crack open a plasma ball and see if it can spark in a vacuum chamber. The plasma ball is essentially a tesla coil encased in glass. Actually it was invented by Nikola Tesla. So I wanted to test a few things in this video. I wanted to test if sparks can happen in a vacuum, or do they happen even better in a vacuum? Theory tells us that sparks should happen easier in a vacuum, but I have gotten a lot of requests to try sparks in a vacuum. I talk about why sparks should happen better in a vacuum and why they should still happen even at really low vacuum.

Try getting rid of the globe altogether, inside the base you'll find a flyback transformer similar to that of an old TV, with one side of the secondary going into the globe, and the other either grounded in the circuit board or left disconnected.
Get leads attached to both sides of the secondary, and you could then try making a Jacob's ladder in your vacuum chamber.
smart but only some p-bulbs dont and they use a convrter
You can't make ionizing radiation in a discharge tube, dummy. You can make X-rays though, but that will take a much higher vacuum, and a much higher voltage.
All plasma balls I've taken apart use a flyback transformer, and the bulb does require high voltage, high frequency AC to operate, thus I find it highly unlikely or even impossible for a plasma ball to work properly without some sort of step-up transformer, such as using a voltage multiplier.
^ They're right. hundred of thousands of volts are required.

SHUT UP NERD
I love how you always sound so happy because it makes me happy to :)
Noah Lövkvist to bad you can't see or hear hin

this channel never gets boring, love the vids bro.
Yes I love this channel
You had me at "open plasma ball". I clicked before I even saw who's channel. Of course ot would be you. You are as reliable as Daily Dose of Internet. High praise.
add a strong magnet to situation
vacuum cleaner in a vacuum?
Will Parry why not computer playing a vacuum chamber video in a vacuum chamber in a vacuum chamber in a vacuum chamber.
When you clean a vacuum cleaner, you become a vacuum cleaner
He has done it!!!!!yesssss
It is called vacuum inception
Great video😁, thank you for making.
It would do nothing
Man I LOVE your experiments, this experiment I studied it this year and now I had the chance to see it with my eyes not only in the books... way to go man! Big Love
+Mike Mallouhi awesome! Thanks!
Do you know the Antigravity Lifter? Someone claims that it's not truly anigravity , its levitation is because the air pushing it from the bottom. But I think it's still interesting to see it in the vacuum. I hope you can make this experiment. Thanks.
Hey i've heard that if you put any glow in the dark thing inside a vacuum it glows like crazy could you please try this and share the result.
Plz like so he sees this
If by "glow in the dark thing" you mean phosphorescent plastics, then no. It has no effect and it can't have any effect.
Did anything happen to the batteries, capacitors, or other components that were inside the globe?
+Robert Coulthard no I've never seen any issues with batteries or capacitors in a vacuum
he should've put a magnet near the plasma and watched it dance

Mercury in vacuum
Hey HPA, if ypu see this one, you should probably do it outside. You don't wanna pump vapors into your room.
Aryaman Mishra people keep asking for mercury. It's too dangerous. go ask cody to do it he has no regard for his own life.
Aryaman Mishra Freddy ?... Sorry for this very bad joke :(
Oh really? and how exactly "must" I be pretty retarded? To begin with, you can't even fucking spell, so I'm clearly smarter than you(which you calling me retarded must make you some special kinda stupid) so please do tell me how I'm retarded for stating a scientific fact? Mercury vapor is really fucking dangerous and mercury in general is not some toy to be played around with. I'm begging you, tell me how I'm retarded for saying a dangerous substance is dangerous?
Timothy Rodowicz I was talking about you saying Cody has no regard for his own life
You need to put s Tesla coil in there. The plasma will actually flow and connect to you much like the plasma ball before you cut the hole
+RGHxFTW a plasma ball is a tesla coil with glass around it. Less voltage though I believe that's why it needed to be under vacuum to work.
RGHxFTW electroBOOM already did that, unless that's what you are referring to
Aww someone else did it? I used to take small Spark gap Tesla coils and pass them through vacuums and watch how the plasma changes from in sit through the vacuum and to me or ground
RGHxFTW just look up electroBOOM on UA-cam it's one of his most latest vids, it's pretty cool actually, I wanna see somebody do an arc with a microwave transformer in a vacuum though, that would be cool
ScreenNurd lol he does that quite a bit
Try simply breaking the bulb all the way and also breaking the glass at the top of the central column, put it back in the vacuum chamber, and see what it does.
Bonus points if you can get a thin wire in the vacuum chamber mounted two or three inches from the plasma globe's central column and terminating outside the vacuum chamber in such a manner that you can touch it (or perhaps have the wire connected in such a way that you can bring it to earth ground; e.g., connected to a water faucet, the ground screw on an AC receptacle, or whatever's handy for you).
Thank you for taking the time to publish these wonderful videos! :-)
telephony y
The problem you're having, is that you're also evacuating the neck of the bulb, allowing the arc to flash between the electrode, and the ground plane of the power supply. If it were possible to seal the base of the globe, and only evacuate the globe itself, keeping the inside of the neck at atmospheric pressure, you would get a plasma more similar to original, except, a different color, and maybe a little more diffused.
I'm impressed, that your Robinair refrigeration evacuation pump can pull a strong enough vacuum, for any of this to happen. Great video!
Been commenting on grant's videos to do this for weeks. Finally someone did it
is there anything that compresses under vacuum or expands under pressure?
So here's my question for you, and I would love to see you make a video of this. If liquid boils in a vacuum chamber, would Vape juice steep? Get a bottle of the clearest Vape juice you can find and put it in a vacuum chamber. If the juice gets darker, its steeping. Please make this happen! -From Drip or Die Vaporium in Knoxville Tennessee
I did a plasma in a vacuum chamber also (it is on my channel), if you want it to work better use 15kV DC, with the negative electrode inside the chamber and the positive grounded to your vacuum chamber (if it has metal on it).
Thank You for this educational information. I liked this video.
In a pure vacuum it will just be a stream of electrons. However, they will start to emit light up to x-rays as they are accelerated and so it may start to look something like an arc.
What if you put bubblewrap in it?
Girl With The Tiny Body explode
Even the 5 year old vids are still great! Love to see this re-made in a "NASA grade" research lab setup, with different gasses.
that was pretty cool I did not think it would work but those where some really vibrant colors. Nice video 👍
I love your videos so much i sit through your singular question-like inflection! Im just raggin ya tho! Keep it up!
That was actually pretty cool, I didn't think that would actually work since there were no longer any gasses in there to conduct trough. Now we know!
Hi.
I love your videos. I'm glad you've taken the time to create these.
I would be interested in having you pump down your box, backfill with pure argon, draw down again, backfill with argon, pull down once more and backfill with pure argon *and* helium. Argon likes to ionize and you will get beautiful streamers, the He will add color. good luck!
Isn't amazing how much we have learned from the internet? We didn't know about germs, uranium, that planes can fly, that water is H2O, that stars are just another solar system, that sticking a paper clip into a wall socket, DAMN, SHIT, I just learned something new !
wow waY COOL! loved it
Awesome. Started watching your presentations.
Interesting experiment!
But I would have worried about the batteries inside the plasma ball. Since most batteries are sealed, I guess, they might have been exploded. But why didn't they?
now it's *R A D I O A C T I V E*
Jonathan Brittain hey did you see *Robbie rotten*
damn thats A E S T H E T I C
No, you're doing it wrong.
It's like ｔｈｉｓ

I'm surprised it worked without being plugged in... did it have a battery or something?
Yes it's battery
Great video. You make it so much more than just a global in a microwave. You’re very good at explaining what is happening. Thank you sir.👍🏽
It feels like the word "equilibrate" is not a real word... I don't know why...
Interesting to see the concept visualized!
nice experiment bruh...
you should try the candle flame experiment in vaccum.😊😊
Put a fidget spinner in the vacuum chamber and see how long it spins for. Please?
The science behind the vid was really interesting to me. Thank you
* watches the video * oooh daaaaaamn such science
much brain crushing
you have always good points. It will be insteresting if we can measure with coils or inside electrodes the power out, seems greater then the power in. Regardes
You should look into adding an ion pump to your setup.
Because the power levels are not changing, you get a stronger reaction. The frequency of light goes up because the resistance is dropping. Satellites have this problem, they get a radio frequency to talk it but the antenna in space changes the frequency to a higher signal, making it so they have to go to a higher frequency in order to talk to the satellite than it would be on the ground.
Testing the theory! Yay for science.
When you said very high voltage, that is incorrect actually, plasma globes have to be low voltage because of experiments that happen with plasma globes, so businesses sell it with low voltage to get better ratings, for example, if you put aluminum foil on top of it, and ark can escape by the power of your hand or some metal, it barely even stings though..
Actually, the voltage is VERY high: The current is extremely low, less than a static spark when you touch a doorknob. By varying the frequency of the oscillator, you can make the plasma arcs fat and faint, or skinny (focused) and rather bright. Some globes even have a knob to allow you to adjust that.
I really appreciate your videos , they are pretty well made. I love the explanation.
can you please try a modeling clay on a vacuum chamber?
Jason Lopena that would be cool
Jason Lopena Nothing will happen as modeling clay can't contain a whole lot of air.
Jason Lopena But it contains water, so that water should evaporate faster which should result in a faster hardening process. Perhaps we could see some bubbles on the surface due to the boiling water.
Doi
Jason Lopena is STUPID
Try different pen in vacuum. How the ink inside reacts in vacuum could be interest to see... are they still in the tube or getting out.?
That's actually a neat idea - I'd heard that NASA had to spend a great deal of money to develop a custom ink pen that would function in space, and one has to assume that an ordinary ink pen under conditions of extreme low pressure is likely to have a difficult time!
www.spacepen.com/about-us.aspx
try to connect a nail or a wire to the tip. Cause of the sharp edges, there should be a lot more arcs
If you had a diffusion pump and a good enough seal you would eventually be able to quench the plasma.
Try to use a radio transmitter, let's see if you can transmit radio waves. Have the receiver inside and then outside the chamber.
Cool experiment. Continue with the high voltage in a vacuum experiments. Tesla coil!!!!!
Would you be able to pressurize the chamber with a similar noble gas and effectively create a chamber-sized plasma device then?
Hey! Very cool video. What about changing the atmosphere by CO2 or other gases and remove them almost?
That was a very interesting experiment. Thanks!!
In another video you said, if the pressure is too, low it is less conductive, but in this video it doesnt do that, why?
You should have put your finger on the vacuum chamber while the plasma was extending beyond the sphere, to see if it would go towards your finger. Other than that, this was an interesting experiment.
Interstellar space is plasma.
Plasma is conductive.
It is superconductive, because plasma is composted of ions and not "diatomic" gases
Those things always give me headaches, it deserves this ☺
We can see massive, billion of light year long lightning bolts going through space. Plasma and lighting have no problems in any enviornment. But it does change dromaticly in appearance.
Interesting experiment, the arcs
expression is thus reduced in an
unnatural artificial vacuum
Would love an explanation for why it turned out the way it did.
Hi. I saw another youtuber showed and explained that sound travels 3 times faster in helium because it is a lighter gas than air. How about vaccum or near vaccum. Where is the limit, sound should not travel in vaccum or does it?
Thanks for good content
Do a diamond crushed by the hydraulic press video!
So, which type of mcb is preferred to stop lightning strikes attacks on electrical appliances?
Says one bacteria to another, '' I can't breathe ''
'' Is he playing with his vacuum chamber again? ''
Plasma is ELECTRONS.
Yes, but the electrons come from somewhere; they are normally hanging out with protons and neutrons as part of an atom, and a plasma is free ELECTRONS, and also positive IONS. The textbook definition: "Plasma is an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions resulting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures (as in the upper atmosphere and in fluorescent lamps) or at very high temperatures (as in stars and nuclear fusion reactors)."
I want to see the BIEFELD BROWN EFFECT with a lifter in the vacuum
would there be a different outcome if you removed the glass globe entirely and grounded one of the metal bits on the lid?
what is required for creating a spark in a small gap? High Voltage and low current?
Heres one inject argon or some other gas thru your air realease i bet u could acheive a neon glow just a thought though
I thought much the same thing... I'm betting helium would be easily available and should work fine for this purpose. The other noble gases, in addition to argon and helium, are xenon, argon, radon, and of course neon.
Have you tried sealing the plasma ball before vacume, so the air inside the plasma ball doesnt scape ?
Can you show how the plasma comes out of the hole, when the lights are on?
Actually, at low vacuum the electrons simply fly off of the electrode, owing to thermionic emissions
he's always so calm on these videos haha
can you explain in perfect vaccum there should not be any air molecules then how plasma formed?
you should have put your finger on the side of the vacuum to see if it would arc like when you touch the ball before you cut it open.
Ok this is an old video... But what does a plasma ball do in a vacuum when the ball isn't broken??
Nothing it does what it has done before
I thought that electrons traveled at the speed of light? How could they then speed up like you said? maybe I'm mistaken.
+Nevdar nope, that would be photons. In fact it is literally impossible for an electron to travel at the speed of light because it has mass
Try filling the chamber with a noble gas first. Then at reduced pressure the remaining isn't n2 o2.
You can touch the center without getting a shock
JiBiC ooo
vakuum & high voltages = xrays. do u have a geiger counter?
Good point.
Can you crush somthing with your hydraulic press because you haven't crushed anything in a long time
you should do this without the globe. see if the plasma would extend to the edges of the vacuum chamber
Was there any concern with the battery in the vacuum?
It looks beautiful
Be careful, that can produce a considerable amount of x-rays.
gabrielbenitosobrino sacred geometry can make it beneficial to health
:D
According to MisterTalkingMachine's comment thread here, that's not true. You'd need much higher voltages and a better vacuum.
Not enough power, not enough voltage, and the frequency is too low to be ionizing. It's perfectly safe to run these, or play with them.
@@vincentrobinette1507 I saw somewhere that just the static electricity produced by an adhesive tape when stretched in a vacuum already produces X-rays, in fact they made an X-ray with them, but I imagine that it is such a small amount that it is not harmful. The cathode ray tubes of TVs do produce them, but as far as I know they don't do any harm unless you stand very close and for a long time.
you should have put your hand on the pressure valve to see if it made the plasma jump further
before I watch it, you just said that it wouldn't work, but if it is the most common thing in the universe, (space is a vacuum), it should work.
why dosent plasma burn the bulb wall down? isn't plasma obtained at extremely high temperatures?
how to make that awesome sphere of sparks?
S-Y 007 You can buy it
Could he still talk with his head in a vacume?
Would the tones change perhaps...
Have you tried Newton balls or cradle or what ever brands call it
Makes sense that it works. Cathode rays work under vacuums.
Put the plasma globe in a high pressure chamber
when you touch you disturbed electric field so that voltage... and higher current flow towards your finger.......
The current remains constant, it merely concentrates at the point of touch, as electricity naturally looks for the path of least resistance. You see one bright arc, rather than seeing many faint arcs.
use this set up to take x ray images
what's the name of that back round music cause I like it
The song thats playing what song is it because I know another UA-camr that uses this song a lot I thought it was his
