For all his obvious intelligence, knowledge, and skill ... his true talent is teaching. This is a subject most people only understand in the abstract. He explains it in a way my 8 year old can grasp. And does it in 9 minutes. Amazing. Thank You Professor.
The misconception about fire being a plasma is actually really common. It isn't plasma, but it isn't a solid, liquid or gas either. It's our visualisation of a chemical reaction. It might look like something, because it is constantly there. We can see it, we can feel the warmth, we can hear the crackling of whatever is burning and smell it too. But think about it, when the fuel is gone, so is the fire. You can't see what fuels the flamethrower, but it's not like you're creating fire out of nothing. Fire is just a prolonged case of combustion. A chemical reaction. Sorry if this is too long :)
@@samsawesomeminecraft well, yes. Though, fire isn't a type or subset of combustion, it's just combustion when it's happening for a longer period of time. And yes, it emits light and warmth.
It is been a while since the last time a see a really walk trought lecture about lab tools, Prof, David Ruzic your name should be highlited more on the video description, thanks!
Professor your videos are amazing. Very easy to understand and full of great knowledge. I wish I had you in my college, I would have gained better grades😉 Thanks for uploading
Public school science textbooks should use your explanation of electrons and an explanation for electron cloud distribution which it doesn't even mention which makes students believe somehow electrons just magically spin around atoms. Plus there's the Bill Nye video where iirc I think he claims electrons can be like miles away from its atom. Which perhaps is either outright wrong or only showing one specific scenario.
This Professor is really amazing . It is very easy understand each and every concept which he teaches. I request you to continue this as much as possible. Thank you!!!
All through highschool, I was excited to learn about plasma, but every time I asked about it they were like, "yeah we're not covering that." It's a blessing to have free, high quality education like this.
Those professors that i will forever remember from my academic world, are guys like this. They don't go (only) by formulas, by theorizing around things. That's easy for guys that have good memory. They go much deep into a world where they can keep things interesting for the students and make them think much by themselves about what they are explaining. I've found that this itself is a form of art. The art to teaching, that only a few can master. Sure you have so many teachers and professors and whatever. But for me the real ones, are guys like this. Congrats and keep up with this videos.
hi David, i thoight it was recognised that there were 5 states (or phases) of matter. going opposite tfrom the hot end down to the cold end you end up with the bose - einstien condensate. although admittedly the four you mentioned are regarded as natural states and the 5th is man made. regards richard.
Thank you for this excellent video, Prof. Ruzic. I'm left with 1 naive question: If a gas, as in your hydrogen or argon examples, is pushed into a plasma state (where the electron is ripped away) ... is that hydrogen still hydrogen? The argon still argon? Or does it become some sort of "matter soup" of electrons and nuclei floating about?
Isn’t it interesting that people like Brian Cox and NDT will wax lyrical for hours about dark matter, muons, leptons, quarks, etc. But will never even utter the word plasma. “Interstellar dust and gas…” No, it’s plasma. Thank you for this very clear introduction.
I hate to disagree with the great Professor, but it is not the 4th phase of matter. Because it is simply heated "gas", and Plasma is just that, and nothing else like Plasma - heated gas. Now he is correct saying 99% of the material in the universe is Plasma - stars, suns. In our solar system the sun makes up 99% of the material, the other planets 1%.But I loved how he was writing backwards on the clear board. Sorry, but I think it is cool. And I enjoyed the video.
I'm confused about something. If I understand correctly (and I may not) a plasma occurs when atoms are heated until electrons are ripped away from the nuclei. So, I think it's like you have a haze of electrons and nuclei. If so, is there a difference between plasma generated by heating hydrogen and plasma generated by heating oxygen? In both cases (again, assuming I'm right), the plasma would just be electrons and nuclei separated from each other. So, would there be a difference? If so, what would that difference be? Likewise, if you heat oxygen until it's a plasma and then cool it, does it go back to oxygen gas? Or do different atoms form?
I disagree! There is only one state of matter which transforms itself into various states. Plasma is the Higgs Field/Boson/Neutrino & Antineutrino! Simple explanations work best when describing how the universe works!
It is a bit more accurate to think of the Plasma as a dielectric of separated charge - the 'Solar Wind' is a Dielectric Wind from the Sun's surface. It also represents 'Charge Separation' in Space that the present cosmological model doesn't recognize, unfortunately for the reputation(s) of the scientist agreeing to such 'democratic science' ...
glass is a super cooled liquid since with time gravity will always make the glass window thicker at the bottom which is a liquid behaviour, same from ice. In a special note and through "particles eyes" there's no states only more or less connections strength depending on surrounding TPM, the perception of state is an illusion
this guy so cool. Always been a scientist but not in this field. Saw one the other day now i am hookt. And i've learned somethings. Such as radioactivity does not come from radioactive things or sources. He said neutrons cause radiation. And i blieve him. Why would he lie and since this is science easy enough to verify. Thank you for the knowledge from this and the other video you made.
Professor... how would you call the state of an ice water droplet that falls into a vast amount of dusty cement parking lot ? It’s not jelly 🤔 looks like an egg yolk 🍳
I weld for a living. with tig we mostly use argon to shield the plasma from the atmosphere. In my world, we call it the welding arc. When it comes to welding aluminum, we can adjust the focus of the arc by adjusting the hertz. When welding steel we adjust the focus using amperage and the distance between the electrodes.
Tesla intended to harvest energy from cosmic rays. He called this energy "radiant energy". "I will tell you in the most general way," he said. "The cosmic ray ionizes the air, setting free many charges-ions and electrons. These charges are captured in a condenser which is made to discharge through the circuit of the motor." --- "The attractive features of the Cosmic rays is their constancy. They shower down on us throughout the whole 24 hours, and if a plant is developed to use their power it will not require devices for storing energy as would be necessary with devices using wind, tide or sunlight." There is an ambiguity and confusion with the Wardenclyffe tower that was his intention of broadcasting electricity across the globe by ionizing the atmosphere. So in essence people would have gained access to "free electricity" everywhere around the globe, but that electricity would have been manufactured somewhere by conventional means and then just broadcasted.
@@ristopaasivirta9770 Unfortunately for Tesla, he came too early to see the research efforts of ppl like Heaviside who did research on the ionosphere ...
The video is mirrored horizontally. You can see the pocket on his jacket and his wrist watch change sides when he is in the lab or classroom as opposite to when writing on the glass.

So a Flamethrower is technically a plasma cannon.
Anything that reaches a certain temp is a plasma. Thats solid, liquid or gas.

@@Robin-234 so fire is just a combustion reaction that happens for a long time and emits visible light?

I had a chemistry teacher that said, “it’s rare and not that important.”
So far, the only man able to help me understand what exactly plasma is. Thank you 🙏

99.9% of all *_baryonic matter_* rather than *_mass_* is plasma. Just a tiny fault here but important note nonetheless imo.

To make fusion energy, we just need to tune it to the right radio station.

What software and hardware is in his presentations? I don't think it's simple glass, because the image would be reversed.

What is the difference between plasma and fire? This wasn't taught when I was in high school and it's not taught in my son's high school.
So is water the molecule becoming a plasma or is the hydrogen and oxygen becoming their own plasma states?
Page 898
plasma = plasm = blood plasme = protoplasm = cytoplasm
Actually, fire is not actual plasma :'), but that's a common misconception :D
Is everyone ignoring the fact tht he's writing backwards?
there are 5 states: Solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein
Im just amazed how well this guy can write everything mirrored and reversed
BSEE 1977 / UIUC. Good to see we still have great teaching profs!

There are 5 states of matter, with BE condensate, but you surely know that sir. BE condensate is just so rare we can neglect.
So nobody's gonna point out that this dude can write backwards??
Two thoughts on this.
1) How does he write backwards like that? That must take a lot of practice.
2) Why is blood plasma called plasma?
**facepalm** i was asking myself the same thing, like forever^^
Does the gas you use determine the color of the plasma and the different type of plasmas?
Thanks a lot. Great video. Great demos.
So you can heat an ice cube till it turns to gas, keep heating then it turns to invisible energy?
Nice sir
Star are made of Liquid Metallic Hydrogene.
Great video. Learned so much. Replace the marker.
just curious, is he writing from the back of the glass?
does magnets would affect fire (plasma)?
