When the royal institute did a short video on the torroid and never mentioned you and after a bunch of people called them out they finally added a link to your channel in the description if that makes you feel better
You started this man. Freaking congrats. You showed a LOT of people how cool this niche little thing could be and now people are selling them. Way cool.
It's insane how fast the plasma toroids went from a niche little hv hobbyist project to a fully commercialized almost viral product. Definitely was interesting to see how you along with all the other hobbyists popularized it!
12:08 I just bought a xenon glass bulb from here. I can’t wait! I’m making the circuit myself after reading your google doc tutorial about it with a friend.
Nice timing! I bought Simon Liu's music generator one and it's arriving today! I've been bouncing off the walls waiting for it :D I'm so glad I randomly found this channel last year.
Hey BackMacSci! Thanks so much for featuring our product! I'll apologize first. Not crediting you was a genuine mistake, and I’m really sorry about that. We’re going to fix it right away. We did mention you on Instagram and other platforms, but we missed it on the Kickstarter page. I’m really sorry again
6:09 😂 I actually found that myself before watching this video and my reaction was the exact same… that’s probably the most obscure use someone could come up with. They, probably already happened to use those types of oils prior and just decided to drop some on top of the glass and call it a feature. It gave me a bit of a laugh. Imagine buying a $650 plasma tortoid to drop oils on top of it.
The aliexpress ones started popping up right around the same time as i was finishing the edit on my plasma toroid video, and I definitely had moments of bring amazed at how quickly this project has been commoditized. I do have some mixed feelings about safety re: selling these mass-market. I saw my device interfering with various capacitive touchscreens/touch-buttons from meters away on multiple occasions. Within a meter of the device I measured >1-watt power received by a 100Mhz+ wideband (but still very mis-tuned) antenna, so physical damage to electronics might even be possible in some rare cases. Those field effects are inherent to mechanism of operation so they can't be engineered away, short of enclosing the entire device in a faraday cage. Products for sale in the US are also generally required to be tested/certified against maximum EMI limits. The rules are not often enforced (especially on random aliexpress imports), but i don't think there's any way a plasma toroid can be legally compliant -- and that's a big reason I didn't leap to start selling my version.
I think people are too hung up on being "first". The people who are remembered best are the ones who make the best "mouse traps", not the first to market.
same with everything, of course nobody remembers things like the demon core or marie curie, everyone just knows the people who created the biggest nuclear bomb
Great video! Its wild to think how quickly this transitioned from niche hobby to commercial product. Ill have to avoid the purchase and try my best to make my own. Currently taking a plasma physics course so Im so deeply invested!
Cool, thanks for the reviews. What does it take to add "wave mode" and "spin mode" to the display, as in the ALOH product? You mentioned that you have those modes on your plasma toroids too, but I haven't seen it described or explained in your other videos or published circuits before. Is there an extra circuit or extra coils or something else to make it display those modes on command?
5:10 "It doesn't mention BackMacSci, not that it needs to" Bro! It's your content! Of course they should credit you, especially when they are using images from your video to sell a product. You have every right to request that they properly attribute the photos.
Not exactly, but some people hypothesize that the sticking has to do with too high of a ratio of electric field to magnetic field created by the coil so that might attract the ring more.
They literally currently are used in Tokamak style fusion reactors. They haven't been able to pass the breakeven point for energy input vs energy output with them yet though (as with basically every other fusion reactor so far). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak
I've also recently been fed the ads for these and found a ton of them on Ebay with your TH-cam channel linked, I was incredibly disappointed it wasn't you behind them. The circuit is simple but lacking considerable safety features for CC and overheating and I don't trust any of these products to have properly implemented them. For reference people, you can build a driver circuit with a custom PCB for less than $20. -Edit: Pretty sure ALOH is faking some of those images/videos. The toroid always sits within the magnetic field of the secondary coil, they've embedded the coil below the flask and yet show the toroid sitting directly in the center.-
I like heavily involve myself with witchcraft, and alchemy, and some other things, on a religious or cultural basis... So my technologies are always intertwined with esoteric principles. You can do a lot of the same things without intertwining mysticism into technologies... But, to me, these ritualistic intentions, serve a physical purpose, and are therefore inherently a part of my products.

That time but I panic-texted you and told you some guys stole your idea! I admire how supportive you are of your community
Would like to someday see toroid take shape of a galaxy like Winston H. Bostick did.
I'm trying to find exactly what you mean but can't find it. I can visualize the toroid plasma galaxy, but who is Winston Bostick and what did they do?

I hope you get recognized more, you revolutionized this.
Thank you! I’m hoping to continue doing revolutionary projects

🙌thanks John!
I would have thought out of curiosity that would have sent you a sample & credited you in the advertising.
You got it started ..

Bro! It's your content! Of course they should credit you, especially when they are using images from your video to sell a product. You have every right to request that they properly attribute the photos.
I admit this is my mistake. I added a mention. Sorry.
Did you ever figure out why the toroid sometimes sticks to the coil and doesn't float horizontal?
Not exactly, but some people hypothesize that the sticking has to do with too high of a ratio of electric field to magnetic field created by the coil so that might attract the ring more.
1 question can we make these torroid in mid air somehow....love from india
It is a great achievement for you as a science communicator. Do you want to bring to market your own product?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :ø)
Aside from those Russians. You’re practically the founder of modern era Plasma Torroids.
Thanks man! Zerg, the founder of BagelGen, calls me the plasma toroid ambassador LOL
Does he get any royalties?
Heeeeeey
5:38 please excuse me while i turn my soldering iron to 500*C and hold it like a pencil
How else you gonna hold it?
I wonder if plasma toroids will be used in nuclear fusion generators

when is the 3d printed tesla coil going to be finished?
Let’s say two months? I put it on the back burner

ALOH isn’t faking I believe, all the photos and videos they took look real to me. But yeah, this project has blown up.
Hi! There are no fakes in our videos and photos. I swear.
CAN U USE A PLASMA GLOBE INSTEAD OF A XEON Ball
We all know who really started the popularity of this phenomenon it was you
Damn Bro you should make the legit one with your name on it
❤
5:05. That’s really lame he didn’t mention you
My mistake. I added a mention. Sorry
@HALO_LAMP thanks🙏
All hail the creator himself
Praise God indeed🙏
they should send ya one for free so you can compare them all :)
Is the plasma toroid making your blood brain barrier degraded? It's making you age for sure.
bro, I am not knockin your style, you have a good look. But, has anyone ever said, Jimmy neutron?
Yes they have!
