Cold Fire You Can Touch - DIY Cold Plasma Torch

Plasma is the 4th state of matter and it comes in many flavors. You probably know it from it's greatest hits, fire and lightning, but there is a lot more to plasma than most people are aware of. Cold plasma is my personal favorite as it has the same beautiful glow that all plasma have, but it's no warmer than room temp and feels cold to the touch. In this video we go through my year long journey to harness this weird state of matter into a torch that can be used for future experiments and in the lab.

When the hand sanitizer only gets 99.9% of bacteria, so you break out the Cold Plasma torch to get the last .1%.

Every time someone makes something that can change the world, they get bought, or made to sound crazy and stupid, or disappeared. Dude does need a plastic and a new metal 3d printer though. If he makes something That could change the world, like a new power supply or engine, he should just make a video just like this one and upload it everywhere before anyone sees it. Then it can't disappear or be denied, can be replicated, and will be used in industry. That's how you stay alive and change the world. You won't get rich, but you'll be the guy. So you won't need to be rich, because everyone will want you around.

I was, briefly, a grad student in physics, and did some research in a low temperature lab (stuff like liquid helium research). Anyways, I was told bluntly and wisely, that my first five attempts at an experiment would fail. Because what we were doing was unknown (not only to us, but to anyone in the world), with no road-map. So we didn't even know how things could or would fail. So no matter how carefully you designed and built the first five versions, you would fail due to some unforeseen problems. The problems might be trivial, or they might be deep and complicated. Therefore, it was important *not* to spend too much time carefully designing and building the first several tries; that would be a waste of time and effort. Only after five tries, would you have learned enough to know what you're doing. Then, it would be good to design and build carefully. At first, that was a difficult lesson for me. In other words: (1) Fail fast, fail smart. (ie: fail efficiently: that means quickly, and learning as much as possible per failure.) (2) Learn from failure, several times. (3) Then carefully design and build.

@corpstilldeath6744 5 жыл бұрын

How exactly do you fail? How do you go about doing that intelligently?,

@ChiralSymmetry 5 жыл бұрын

A very good question! I don't think there are any easy answers. And probably depends greatly on what area you're working in. But I think I would say that you should study what other people have done. Maybe some people have worked on areas related to what you are doing. Understand those things, without limiting yourself to what they did. Maybe understand how what they did would be helpful, or would fail. Also, sometimes talk to people outside of your area. Something they do might give you a new idea. Or, they could have a very different and fresh perspective on what you're doing.

One thing I left out was the stink of ozone when we were running this on air. I'm hoping to set up the system with co2 and water vapor and shoot it into a canister/tank of some sort to see if the collected products become flammable at some ratio of co2 to water. Ought to be fun, but also really dangerous so we're gonna take out time to make sure we do it safely

no not phosphor, I think you mean photo-luminescent or fluorescent material but phosphor is highly reactive to oxygen so it will start burning in place not only when the torch is on but continuously until it is finished.

the "phsphor" in CRTs has a very faint afterglow too. just like some white LEDs. it's falsely called phosphor, but that's what it's called. glow pigment has makes a great UV indicator, it's much brighter under UV, that it could glow on it's own. (the shorter the wavelength the brighter)

There's actually a city in Sweden where I think some government vehicles and a few private ones run on methane produced using a similar method. They take CO2 from the air and I believe the water is rainwater and they also capture the water to be reused when they refuel. They're basically electric vehicles which have had their batteries swapped out for generators running on methane.
