THE THAMES & KOSMOS PLASMA BALL
ESSENTIAL
STEM TOOLS
Marvel at the wonders of the universe with this mesmerising electric
light show. The plasma ball creates a fascinating display of glowing
electric tentacles, like lightning flowing from your fingertips.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter. Neither solid, liquid, or gas, it is a
super-charged ionised gas found in every star. The plasma ball works
by sending a high-voltage, alternating current from a Tesla coil at its
core, through a noble gas, to the inner surface of the glass sphere.
Escaping electrons cause the inert gas inside the sphere to light up,
creating the amazing effects.
You can actually see electricity
in the palm of your hand with
this incredible device.
The plasma ball design allows
you to display it on a tabletop or
hang it on a wall like a sconce.
It can be powered via a USB-C
cable or batteries. Turn on the
sound-activated mode and
watch the plasma arcs dance to
the beat of your favourite song.
