Plasma balls have sat on desks for as long as we can remember, filled with low-pressure gas that lights up in thin, branching strands when a high-voltage electrode inside the glass gets going. Those strands look lively, yet they always end somewhere, either at the glass wall or at a second electrode. The Action Lab […]

Plasma Channel packed a year of garage experiments into checked luggage and flew 14,000 kilometers to Namibia to see if 50,000 volts could pull drinkable water out of desert fog. The unit uses electrostatic precipitation: a high-voltage wire ionizes tiny water droplets so they race toward grounded mesh or rods, condense, and drip into a […]
