Plasma Toroid WIP demo #3 - ✨😇

Inductively coupled xenon plasma toroid, work in progress demonstration.
Plasma excitation is via a ~12.5MHz self-oscillating high voltage "class E" MOSFET / LC-tank circuit, driving a printed circuitboard induction coil.

You got yours stable!!! So cool!

[@SuperWabo]

Jesus. My nerd-o-meter crashed. Looking forward to the full video.

extremely underrated

[@Hyzerwyzer]

This is so cool! I have the components to build it, but I just have to figure out how it all comes together. Great job! 🍻

Very cool! I'm wondering where you got your book of spells from. The mage I bartered with gave me a book of tricks instead of magic.

[@BenTheMagnifice]

Excellent work, beautiful result!

[@Versette]

Very interesting indeed, so stable!

[@ohnotagainplease]

Again, TH-cam is recommending mad scientist content.... and yet I do not complain.

[@thecosmicbee]

So cool.

[@RetroFutureRodent]

Stunning work! The constant, stable bright halo is impressive but I love the soothing pudding-wobble the most 🧋

[@OmGigaTron]

This is an excellent project. I thoroughly enjoyed your write-up. Keep on iterating this design.
I am also going to be building one of these soon, and if you would like to collaborate please reach out.

[@ayanned]

That's amazing man!

[@juststuff8128]

This is great

[@MrFeliks912]

Beautiful. Xenon globes cost $300 though, making this an unique, and expensive project. Will replicate it one day.

[@sky_guided]

I have a long-term goal of getting into my own plasma glassworking, but that's decidedly nontrivial both from an equipment and skill perspective.

[@timconnors]

How do you even search for them? "globe" means globe people! Not a bloody obnoxious blue coloured car light bulb!

[@MrFeliks912]

@@timconnors sphere, glass, capsule, ampule (there are tiny ones for 10s od dolars) etc

[@davidkain3555]

Amazing

[@ShcherbynaM]

Next step will be building Tokamak to power your house.

[@Brett-yq7pj]

Cool

[@DangDatsCrazy]

We have portable fusion reactor before gta 6

[@blinking_dodo]

Can i get the stable one?

[@Lucas_zanot]

Tutorial?

"Coming soon-ish"

[@soygemmer8555]

how do i buy this

[@sky_guided]

Aw, thanks! I may be able to offer a limited number of the electronics boards as a kit when the design is finalized, but you'll have to source your own xenon globe.

[@smsb5752]

Very kind of you! How hard are Xenon globes to soruce hehe 😅@@sky_guided

[@EverydayNormieMadafacka]

what kind of black magic bullshit is even tha!?

[@unethicaldesigns]

turn it into an audio visualizer
