DIY: How to Create a Plasma Globe
A touch sensitive plasma globe is not only fun to play around with, it also makes an interesting conversation piece or school project idea. Depending on the shape, a plasma globe goes by other names that include a plasma lamp, orb, sphere, or tube. Although the design of such a piece may look intricate, a plasma globe is not hard to create is you have the right parts and equipment. Undertaking a do-it-yourself plasma globe project is rewarding when you know what steps to take. You can find all the supplies you need on eBay in new and pre-loved condition to create your own stunning plasma globe and impress your friends in just a few short hours.
Gathering Supplies
One of the first steps that needs done in any do-it-yourself project is to make sure you have all the right tools and parts before diving in. The table below lists the supplies you need along with some notable characteristic of each item. Bear in mind that this globe is a high voltage device and children should have adult supervision before beginning such a project.
Supplies
Notable Characteristics
Alternating Current Generator
Generator needs to create 35 kHz frequencies
Noble Gas
Gas should be low pressure Noble gas of Argon variety
Glass Globe
Clear glass that comes with one small opening or ability to make opening
Ignition Coil
Tesla coil wire or other small metal pole for use as electrode
Used in many light bulbs, low powered Argon gas aids in making sure that the interior
There are three main parts to this project: the power supply, function generator, and oscilloscope. There are a few hardware and software requirements for these components. The power supply will require two wall wart power supplies connected to two potentiometers to control the variable voltage and display it on the LCD. Then it will connect to the student's circuits. The function generator can be completed in two ways. One method is to assemble it through hardware. This would have little involvement with the 68HC12, but would allow a more hands on approach. The other technique is to generate it through software. This would allow it to be more portable, but creates more use of the computer instead of circuits. The function
For my egg project my partner and I cut out 4 pieces of cardboard. We used the cardboard to make a box. Second, we cut out the top of a water bottle to protect the egg. Next, we blew up balloons to help it not land hard. We had to hot glue the balloons to the box. Then, we cut a garbage bag for the parachute. We used yarn to tie the garbage to the box for the parachute.
commonly used to amplify current. A small current at its base controls a larger current at
Meridian has been manufacturing fine telescopes for 80 years and has developed a well-earned reputation for quality craftsmanship. The company itself produces and sells two distinct lines of telescopes, which are produced in its 200,000 square feet facility. Furthermore, both lines have been developed to appeal to distinct target audiences who have an interest in the company’s products. The older line, for which there has been steady demand, consists of small professional telescopes that ultimately have laid the foundation for Meridian’s strong reputation. Following the success of
In the late 1800s many locomotive companies began using electric headlamps instead of oil lamps. There were multiple problems that came with using the electric lights instead of oil. It was very difficult to “supply electric power when the train was in a station”(Presentation Magazine). The light was extremely bright and made it hard for the drivers of others trains to see when they were arriving at the station. In the early 1900’s the arc lamp was invented and made it much easier for other train drivers to see and it allowed people to safely cross. The headlamp shown in class was made using black metal, possibly iron, with a glass plate in the front which allows the light to pass through it. The glass is on a hinge so it could be opened and closed. The artifact relates to what we are learning because the locomotive industry became one of the largest and most important industries in America for a long time during and after the civil war. The trains were used to transport supplies to the troops all throughout the war, and after the war they were used as transportation for people. There were many investors in the trains that made huge amounts of
Argon is oftentimes utilized when an inert atmosphere is necessary. An inert atmosphere is needed when oxygen can not be present and cannot consist of reactive gases. Circumstances where an inert atmosphere is needed, for example, is in light bulbs, filling the fluorescent bulbs to forestall the corrosion of the hot filament, and is also used to create inert atmospheres for arc welding, growing semiconductor crystals, and any other processes that necessitate safeguarding from other atmospheric gases. Although Argon is not directly related to carbon dioxide in the air, it is directly related to oxygen, and it is very common knowledge of how oxygen and carbon dioxide are in correlation with each
Before I began my research, I listed the components I would need from a Citizens Science Project because there are so many active projects around the world. To begin, I needed something that would not
1-14 Bellringer 2: Incandescent bulbs give off a warm glow. The researchers created a bulb that still had filament in the center, but was surrounded with a new kind of filter that sits around the filament.
It is an unscented, drab and non-harmful gas which has nature of expelling fire-causing components from the flares bringing about wearing out blazes inside couple of seconds. You more likely than not seen numerous reasons said once the fire happens in various parts of manufacturing plants however grieving a while later is of no utilization. The fire broke out in any bit of the factor isn't just financially destructive yet can acquire unforeseen defer organizations
First thing you will need is your materials which is: An egg, clear glass, vinegar, highlighters, and a blacklight.
For my Fertile Crescent project I made a battering ram. A battering ram was a type of cart that carried a ram in it to destroy walls in wars. To create my battering ram I looked and followed a picture on google that I found and made a list what I needed to make my battering ram. I knew that first I needed wood to build it, then I listed the other supplies to make it, brown paint, nails, rope, circular pieces of wood, and round thin pieces of wood. Once I made the list I bought the materials at Home Depot.
Since the purpose of my experiment was to find out what amount of water made an air-pumped bottle rocket go higher, I had to first learn how to build an air-pumped bottle rocket. After searching on the internet for about 5 minutes I learned how to build one. I spent about 20 minutes building a bottle rocket with a cone and fins.
To assemble the respirometers, obtain 6 vials, and 6 stoppers with pipettes on the end.. Make sure that the
First get your 4 pictures. We found these at www.exploratorium.edu. Then you will need a pink and green see through clipboard that is 8.5 by 11 inches. Before you start the experiment you need to have a clean room. Next find four twelve year olds, two boys, two girls. Then you need to collect the rest of the materials.
SCM Globe is a supply chain game designed to teach concepts in supply chain design, demand forecasting, resource allocation, and production planning by the use of illustrating how different supply chain designs produce different operating results and explore how to manage those results. The game is performed in a real-time setting that allows for helping to create a supply chain that meet customer demands for products with the lowest operating costs and lowest inventory levels. The simulation gives students an opportunity to design and manage the supply chain of stores that sell Crunch Candy and Just Born Candy. During the simulation experience, students create products, facilities, vehicles and routes while
