The fourth state of matter -- plasma | Christine Charles | TEDxCanberra

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Christine employs Interactive experiments with the audience to explain the fourth state of matter, Plasma. This talk provides a new perspective on high technology and the importance of plasma in iPhone, digital cameras, GPS, satellites, space travel...
Christine Charles is a rocket scientist and head of her own laboratory at the Australian National University.
Christine has invented a new space engine which she and her students are developing with support from the Australian Government along with European and American aerospace companies. She transforms the music of the spheres into keyboard jazz with her group, Harmonic Propulsion, that performs around Canberra.
To keep up her strength she canoes down long rivers, cycles and bushwalks.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I think Tesla gave the same lecture and demo in 1900, only they thought he was nuts. Fast forward 100+ years to 6:00 and people are still 'ooohing' and 'aaahing' today. How far we have come...

    Tesla specifically said Earth was an energetic realm, not a planet. He knew there is a firmament and water on the other side of it, not "space". There's no such thing as space and Tesla would never give such a rediculous lecture. Tesla was about exploring energy and consciousness, makes this space BS seem boring. Zzzz..

    istiones I was merely referring to the fact Tesla was giving more impressive, insightful, and well documented 'lectures' over 100 years ago. He received, unhurt, currents of hundreds of thousands of volts, lit up tubes and lamps through his body, rendered insulated wires several feet long entirely luminous, showed a motor running under the influence of these million-frequency currents, obtained a number of effects with phosphorescent lamps; and also showed how little in such work the high resistance of the filament had to do with the lighting up of ordinary 50 or 110 volt lamps. You are more than entitled to your beliefs, and unlike 99% of people I will respect your FE, but I do not see how they relate to this at all.

You are welcome to your ideas - as is every person who shares ideas. No one suggests you have to agree with another person's ideas. Professor Christine Charles' work on plasma rockets is important to the Australian National University, to the Nation and to the World.

    Speaking of Plasma, in 1986 I worked for General Plasma in Woburn MA. I used hydrogen to produce a plasma flame to which I would inject a alloy/ceramic mixture (the contents of the mixture was never told to us) and coat wear areas of the F-16 jet engine. at that time I was in the booth with the part and a turn simple table. no computers or protective garments, just some ear plugs and brazing glasses. I'm sure it took years off my life. your welcome GE.

    I have a connection with TEDxCanberra in that I have been coaching TEDxCanberra speakers for five years. The objective of TED talks is to invite Speakers to share their ideas. And, to include in their performance an "entertainment" factor. Speakers don't ask you to accept or reject THEIR ideas. If you have your own ideas on the subject your comments are welcome. And it would be adult behaviour to remain civil in your comments! In fact, why not put together a talk yourself - up to 18 minutes and without notes! You could publish it wherever you thought appropriate. You'll note that Professor Charles' talk has been viewed more than 73,000 times. And 484 people wrote to say they appreciated it.

    Why are you wasting time and money testing these engines? The US are already massive craft with 6 building sized ion plasma engines, flying over Kingman AZ, at very low altitudes. I saw one and video taped it on Nov. 21, 2008. Each engine or combination of engines was approximately 20feet tall and 50 feet wide and the plasma shot out about 50 yards behind the aircraft/spacecraft. The craft had static electricity crawling all over its bottom. It was the biggest thing I've ever seen flying and I worked on the C-17 and the MD-11 back in the 90's. I'm pretty sure it belonged to the US but I didn't see any symbols or labels. It was differently a plasma engine. I even wrote to several companies and asked them if they had anything flying that night east of Kingman. Nobody replayed to me emails. I wrote to the Kingman Airport and asked them if they had anything on radar that was big and very low, they said they didn't. A secret space program?

I have a very bad version of the tape but its very shaky and low res. I shot the video while trying to drive. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen, and the biggest thing I've ever seen flying in the sky. I also worked at McDonnell Douglas from 1986 to 1991, I worked on the C-17, one of the biggest jets ever. So bullshit on you Benito.

    its too far off and too shaky. I tried to stabilize the video with software, but still shaky. I also created a 3D animation of what it looked like to me as it passed over my car. It looked like 6 great plasma screens glowing blue white and was so bright it lit up the ground and air around it. There was electrical arching on the bottom of the craft. It was the biggest thing I've ever seen in the sky and it was not that high above me. Under radar, because I called the Kingman AZ airport and asked if they had anything on radar, they said no. So my guess is its ours and Kingman is in own it.
