Plasma Ball



I'm sure you've all seen one. You can see really big ones at museums, or tiny ones that you can buy. That up there is an actual picture of one. Want to see mine?
Ha! Avert your eyes from the glory that is plasmaball1.JPG! Now, did you know...

That if you cover the ball in tinfoil and touch it, it'll shock you? It really hurts too. It like leaves a little black spot and everything. It's good for waking people up, apparently. And shocking freakishly large moths. Lotta backstory there.


Now, it turns out that you can actually amplify the shock-power if you take a little cable or cord or something (USB cable works, who knew?) and attach one end to the plasma ball, then put the other end in a cup of water. Like demonstrated in the beautiful piece over there -->


Now for some fun ideas with the plasma ball...
