Hello Lightning Tamers!

Found this at the suggestion of youtube and though many of you who are interested in plasma would find it useful and insightful. While I acknowledge that I haven’t been able to provide any significant introduction into the process of Plasma per interest of art as shown by my guests, this video does offer a well rounded explanation for equipment used to create vacuum, material properties, and well the functional use for plasmas as part of future energy source. I hope this helps give you a better insight into what it takes to makes something like this happen, and encourage you to research and read some of the sources I’ve listed in the RESOURCES tab to the right.

I’ve also provide an updated below regarding my progress on the PGC Light Lab.

Updates have been a bit slow, but not to worry. I’m still working out juggling a few projects, and hope to share with you more as I work on the remodeling of the Plasma Lab aka PGC Light Lab. 

As an update we have just about all the materials ordered, and I’ve made both glass and 3D printed parts required to add all 5 gases: Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Nitrogen.

Recently I’ve cleaned parts that had oxidized from improper use of soap and water as leak detector for positive pressure, which can occur when assembling GTS (Gas Transfer System), such as the Gas Line between the tank and Valve leading to your Manifold. (When I finish the remodel, I’ll make sure to got through all the details)

Essentially in this step I used an ultrasonic cleaner with Cleaning Detergent called Citranox, which was suggested by Tim Drier, then used scotch pad scrub, rinsed with water, and then final rinse with De-ionized water. Bruce Suba had noted that he uses another process for cleaning, so stay tuned for a post from him.

Thank you,
