0:12 - 0:16
-
0:16 - 0:20
-
0:20 - 0:24
-
0:24 - 0:28All right! I'm going to do a little demonstration here
-
0:28 - 0:33of a Plasma Ball,
-
0:33 - 0:37inside of this test enclosure,
-
0:37 - 0:41and the enclosure has a platform underneath
-
0:41 - 0:44that's able to rotate.
-
0:44 - 0:48This is the Plasma Globe we have mounted to a motor...
-
0:48 - 0:52So, what we are going to do, is have this Plasma Ball rotate at reasonably high speeds...
-
0:52 - 0:562000 to 3000 rpm we hope to get out of it.
-
0:56 - 1:00And, we want to observe what's happening inside,
-
1:00 - 1:04inside the plasma ball during that time, and see if there is any unusual
-
1:04 - 1:09things that take place due to the centrifugal force
-
1:09 - 1:13being exerted on it.
-
1:13 - 1:17So, I guess that's about it. I'm using this TQi
-
1:17 - 1:21controller, which is normally used in little race cars,
-
1:21 - 1:25and we'll be controlling the rpm's of the
-
1:25 - 1:29motor; this is a Subaru blower motor underneath here
-
1:29 - 1:34powering the apparatus. Okay,
-
1:34 - 1:38let's fire it up and see what happens! Lights off!
-
1:38 - 1:42Lights off...and safety glasses on!
-
1:42 - 1:46
-
1:46 - 1:50My safety glasses are all fogged up; I can hardly see a thing!
-
1:50 - 1:54haha
-
1:54 - 1:58Let's see if we have some action here...here we go...
-
1:58 - 2:02okay, it goes around; we know it goes around, so far so good...
-
2:02 - 2:06it's nice and smooth. We'll take it up
-
2:06 - 2:10to maybe 500 rpm, something like that...
-
2:10 - 2:15okay, I'm going to stop it and see
-
2:15 - 2:19what happens. The motor is stopped. You can see the
-
2:19 - 2:23plasma keeps rotating for a revolution or two.
-
2:23 - 2:27Let's try taking it up to maybe 1500 and see what happens...
-
2:27 - 2:31
-
2:31 - 2:35That's actually 1600, 1500...
-
2:35 - 2:39there now,
-
2:39 - 2:43It seems stable; I'm going to take it up to 2000...
-
2:43 - 2:48"Oh, look at that!"
-
2:48 - 2:52There's 2000
-
2:52 - 2:56It's an interesting structure in there, that's for sure...Bring it down again,
-
2:56 - 3:00and see what happens...it rotates a bit...
-
3:00 - 3:04and otherwise, seems to look pretty much normal. Yes.
-
3:04 - 3:08Pretty much the same.
-
3:08 - 3:13Um, just gonna...Pardon me?..."Full speed!"
-
3:13 - 3:17Full speed ahead! Let's give it a go, while the apparatus
-
3:17 - 3:21is still working!..."in one piece"...Yeah!
-
3:21 - 3:25Yes, I'll just give it full speed and...I going to make sure...
-
3:25 - 3:29everything is still screwed together properly here... "Maybe hold it
-
3:29 - 3:33because it starts walking a little bit on the table." Yeah, we should
-
3:33 - 3:37have it bolted down, as Mr. Keshe says, because it could take off! Once we
-
3:37 - 3:42achieve levity, and that's what we're after here is levity, which we know
-
3:42 - 3:46is the cure to gravity!
-
3:46 - 3:50We should have this whole thing on a scale, because then we would be able to tell
-
3:50 - 3:54if there as any weight changes.
-
3:54 - 3:58Okay, we're gonna go for full speed...
-
3:58 - 4:02here we go...1000, 1300...
-
4:02 - 4:061500, 17, 2000, 22...
-
4:06 - 4:1023, 24, 2600, 28, 3000...
-
4:10 - 4:153300, 3700...
-
4:15 - 4:193780...
-
4:19 - 4:233900...
-
4:23 - 4:274100 rpm!
-
4:27 - 4:31It's holding together pretty good. I'm not sure what the plasma is doing, as
-
4:31 - 4:35I've been watching the tachometer. We're around 4000 rpm.
-
4:35 - 4:39
-
4:39 - 4:43Nice and stable! Other than it's moving around the entire table...
-
4:43 - 4:48the apparatus has got it's own mind as far as
-
4:48 - 4:52where it wants to go. Wow, look at that thing go!
-
4:52 - 4:56"Especially the beam that goes up."
-
4:56 - 5:00Yeah, the one that goes right up in the middle, it's very determined to stay there...
-
5:00 - 5:04it doesn't hardly quaver. There's almost a
-
5:04 - 5:08harmonic in there. "A Pulse". Eh?
-
5:08 - 5:12"It's like a pulse." A pulse, yeah.
-
5:12 - 5:17It looks like wings, almost like a dragonfly.
-
5:17 - 5:21from my point of view here...
-
5:21 - 5:25
-
5:25 - 5:29And as we come to a close, the plasma rotates another
-
5:29 - 5:33couple of turns before it settles out...
-
5:33 - 5:37and it wonders, "What the heck just happened!" hahaha!
-
5:37 - 5:41Hey there little fella, you made it! haha
-
5:41 - 5:45And so did we, even better! ha!
-
5:45 - 5:49And now it needs to spin the other way around for the same amount of time to make him less dizzy
-
5:49 - 5:54I can make him go backwards, and then forwards suddenly..."Oh yeah, oh it's neat!"
-
5:54 - 5:58"You're abusing it?" That's abusing it, probably...
-
5:58 - 6:02It's abusing everything then.
-
6:02 - 6:06"And the one that goes to the top, that's really something..."
-
6:06 - 6:10"There must be a reason for that..."
-
6:10 - 6:14Well yes, that's a good
-
6:14 - 6:18observation. Okay, how will I explain this...
-
6:18 - 6:23The way it is right now, the streamers are running all over, there's not
-
6:23 - 6:27really one that goes to the top. But when I rev it up,
-
6:27 - 6:31there's ...right now there isn't...but
-
6:31 - 6:35as soon as the revs get up a little bit, it becomes
-
6:35 - 6:39essentially one streamer at the top...
-
6:39 - 6:43The faster it goes, I'd say the more intense
-
6:43 - 6:47it gets. Yeah, Yeah. It's quite intense right now...
-
6:47 - 6:51Now that's interesting. "It's like, less go to the side, and more go
-
6:51 - 6:55outwards now, because it is the most stable route, I guess, to the outside.
-
6:55 - 6:59Everything else is moving, but
-
6:59 - 7:03upwards." ...Right, that's right...the centre of
-
7:03 - 7:08the cyclone doesn't move, right?
-
7:08 - 7:12"Yeah, basically, yes." ...So it might be the path of least resistance
-
7:12 - 7:16for the ions to flow. Yeah, it is.The other ones have to spin
-
7:16 - 7:20around, so...
-
7:20 - 7:24
-
7:24 - 7:28That's quite funny! hehe. Hmmm, interesting, I wonder what it would look like
-
7:28 - 7:33if hydrogen and helium were in there, along with the argon and neon?
-
7:33 - 7:37and any other "ons" that are in there... haha!
-
7:37 - 7:41All right, well that was a
-
7:41 - 7:45definitely successful experiment....
-
7:45 - 7:49Okay, I want to do a quick run here, with a close-up of the Plasma ball,
-
7:49 - 7:53and see what kind of changes occur. I want people to pay attention to the
-
7:53 - 7:57"central tendril" that will come up to the very top of the globe...
-
7:57 - 8:01Let's rev it up and see how it goes here...
-
8:01 - 8:05You can see the "central tendril" is forming...
-
8:05 - 8:09there now, it is already formed,
-
8:09 - 8:14at about 1000 or so rpm, which forms that central
-
8:14 - 8:18tendril, and when I rev it up,
-
8:18 - 8:22amazing!
-
8:22 - 8:26
-
8:26 - 8:30
-
8:30 - 8:34
-
8:35 - 8:39I wonder what happens when
-
8:39 - 8:43the whole thing is tilted over a bit...
-
8:43 - 8:47Here, you run the throttle,
-
8:47 - 8:51and I'll just tilt this over. I want to see if that tendril stays
-
8:51 - 8:55the way it goes.
-
8:55 - 8:59
-
8:59 - 9:03
-
9:03 - 9:07Well, there's definite geometric shapes
-
9:07 - 9:11at certain rpms with the arms
-
9:11 - 9:15that come off,
-
9:15 - 9:19the arms, the tendrils that come off that centre post...
-
9:19 - 9:23They are like little ballerinas in there!
-
9:23 - 9:27Doing different moves, you know?
-
9:27 - 9:31Doing the rotating dance.
-
9:31 - 9:35
-
9:35 - 9:39Aaah, scary! hahaha!
-
9:39 - 9:43Here, you hold the apparatus, and I'll run the throttle control now!
-
9:44 - 9:48hahaha!
-
9:48 - 9:52"Once the upper one is formed,
-
9:52 - 9:56it's...it's only disappearing at lower rpms
-
9:56 - 10:00ahh, it takes more rpm to create it ...
-
10:00 - 10:04than..." Than to destroy it! Yes, exactly. Yes, right!
-
10:04 - 10:08Interesting. "But it's quite logical actually, I mean everything
-
10:08 - 10:13we saw is quite logical." "I would have never guessed, though that
-
10:13 - 10:17those tendrils would have momentum, you know, the fact that they keep momentum...
-
10:17 - 10:21Yes, yeah, That's what surprised me!" Yeah, true.
-
10:21 - 10:25
-
10:25 - 10:29Okay, we have the Plasma Ball
-
10:29 - 10:33the Plasma Globe Ball inside of our rotating
-
10:33 - 10:37apparatus with the safety shield on, and the safety glasses are on,
-
10:37 - 10:41and we are going to have a look at
-
10:41 - 10:46the streamer coming off the Plasma Ball. We have a piece of tinfoil
-
10:46 - 10:50sitting up against the globe of the Plasma Ball, inside
-
10:50 - 10:54there, and it's acting as a sort of a ground that's attracting
-
10:54 - 10:58the tendrils of the Plasma Ball, and
-
10:58 - 11:02we gonna rotate it at speed, and see what happens to the tendrils,
-
11:02 - 11:07as the Plasma Globe rotates. Okay, here we go..
-
11:07 - 11:11
-
11:11 - 11:15
-
11:15 - 11:19Note the tendril has tended
-
11:19 - 11:23to sort of warp to one side,
-
11:23 - 11:27the way it's rotating. As we
-
11:27 - 11:31rev it up a little more, we're up to about 1000 rpm,
-
11:31 - 11:35and at one certain point,
-
11:35 - 11:39right about....Now!
-
11:39 - 11:44The tendril from the centre of the globe
-
11:44 - 11:48goes straight up to the top of the globe, and
-
11:48 - 11:52there's no other tendrills in there, and that becomes
-
11:52 - 11:56similar and maybe even a little more intense, with high speed.
-
11:56 - 12:00I'll take it up to
-
12:00 - 12:042500, for example, and it's still one tendril...
-
12:05 - 12:09
-
12:09 - 12:13Up to full speed...
-
12:13 - 12:17"There's something going on now..."
-
12:17 - 12:21
-
12:21 - 12:25I want to note a phenomenon that we've also noticed here, which is
-
12:25 - 12:29the central tendril that goes to the top right now,
-
12:29 - 12:33as we lower the rpm, it will tend to stay there, much more
-
12:33 - 12:37stably...it's easier to keep it going, than
-
12:37 - 12:41it is to get it going to start with, you might say. In other words,
-
12:42 - 12:46I can lower the rpm right down to a few hundred rpm,
-
12:46 - 12:50here now, and the central tendril stays there
-
12:50 - 12:54right until, probably about, well...
-
12:54 - 12:58it's still there, strangely enough...
-
12:58 - 13:02and now it's sort of...There! It's locked
-
13:02 - 13:06on to the tinfoil to the side.
-
13:06 - 13:11But to break that, I have to rev it up, now it's still stuck to the side...
-
13:11 - 13:15I have to take it up to about a thousand rpm
-
13:15 - 13:19to get the thing to go to the top tendril.
-
13:19 - 13:23There it goes! So, again, we'll go back down..
-
13:23 - 13:27again , see the top tendril is sticking, even down to
-
13:27 - 13:31to just a few rpm, that thing is still sticking...
-
13:31 - 13:35There. To the top
-
13:35 - 13:39and now...There! It finally crossed over to the side..
-
13:39 - 13:43again, where it is sparking. And again, I rev it up,
-
13:43 - 13:47and it won't let go of that side, until it gets up to
-
13:48 - 13:52about 1000 rpm...there, it switched over. It stays that way right to full speed.
-
13:52 - 13:56
-
13:56 - 14:00
-
14:00 - 14:04
-
14:04 - 14:08
-
14:08 - 14:13
-
14:13 - 14:17
-
14:17 - 14:21With the globe, we've noticed
-
14:21 - 14:25it is taking on a strange greenish glow...
-
14:25 - 14:29and we're not sure why, and we hope we are not turning green too, from this experiment!
-
14:29 - 14:33hahaha!
-
14:33 - 14:37haha! Check your skin, guys! Hahaha!
-
14:37 - 14:41Okay, I think we're signed off for that one...
-
14:41 - 14:45See you all next time!

- Title:
- Spinning Plasma Ball Experiment
- Description:
-
Mrfixitrick, and lab assistants Paul and Guy, observe the visual effects in a spinning Plasma Ball at various speeds up to 4000 rpm.
We notice the gases inside the Plasma Ball have momentum. We also discover that a single plasma tendril forms at high RPM...and then tends to stay, even when the RPM is reduced to very low speeds!
This experiment was a fun way to test our lab equipment, in preparation for further experiments in building a Keshe Plasma Reactor for power and lift. ;)
