Plasma Globes for Museums, Movies & Specail Effects

Plasma Globes for Museums, Movies & Specail Effects

22nd Mar 2016

Museums across the world have featured huge Plasma Globes to explain the principals of electricity, amazing visitors with their glowing spectacles of multicolored lightning. These beautiful, ever-changing light sculptures can reach 36 inches in diameter.

Plasma globes are filled with rare gases, which react with electricity from the central electrode to produce “plasma lightning,” which emanates outward in tendrils of red, pink, violet, or other colors, depending on the mix of gases inside. When you place your hand on the glass, the lightning focuses on your hand to produce a concentrated stream of colored plasma. By using the power control on the globe, you can change the effect from a subtle light dance to a full blown galactic sun-storm! These effects are bright enough to be seen in a lighted room, and are spectacular in a darkened room!

Our globes are constructed from 5 pieces of solid hardwood, stained with a beautiful rose-wood color, and hand-polished to a low-sheen finish. The polished wood gives the globes an elegant look, making them suitable for display in any environment. Our new bases incorporate a hidden cooling system, and have been updated with modular electronics, enabling the globe to be more easily repaired in the case that warranty service is required.

Our plasma globes are made from temperature-hardened, laboratory-strength glass. The glass is also very thick, about 1/2 a centimeter (3/16 of an inch). Because glass is porous, cheaper globes with thinner glass have issues with the the rare gasses slowly escaping through the glass over time. The glass in our globes is several times as thick as what you find in a regular consumer globe, ensuring that the gasses remain in the globe for many many years.

Note: Because the glass is hand blown, it is normal for it to have some imperfections. Upon close inspection, you may find small bubbles in the glass or minor scuffs. These imperfections will be completely invisible under normal operating conditions, i.e.- a darkened room. Make no mistake, the small mass-market globes you see in gift shops and elsewhere online hold no comparison to our products. If you enjoy owning limited-supply, exclusive items which very few people have seen, then our Museum-Size Plasma Globes are a must have!
