I took a week off to visit home for my birthday this week, but even though I’m home and “taking a break”, I put some of that time doing what I’ve always done, and that is learning. YouTube can be an awesome resource where you can find all type of videos with many as helpful as they are entertaining. Additionally, I’ve been working with Ben Orozco from GEEX to develop some primer episodes directed at beginners and educators who are interested in Plasma.
GEEX | GLASS EDUCATION EXCHANGE
n response to ongoing needs magnified by the impact of COVID-19 and the 2020 uprising, GEEX exists to connect communities and share/archive educational materials in the collective field of glass. For more information on the GEEX platform, we invite you to navigate through our website.
Now this following video, is something I found quite intriguing. For an element to go into a plasma state, it is done through heating or subjecting it to an electromagnetic field, which is easiest to reach from a gaseous state. Granted this isn’t something that leads you directly to the creations of plasma via vacuum and noble gases. I found it exciting to watch plasma created via other materials, and to watch creators or youtubers document their process. The discoveries and the problem-solving implemented allowed them to overcome barriers found in process, materials, and equipment.
I hope you find this as entertaining as I have.
Be safe, be healthy, and be strong, and I’ll see you next time!
