4:17 Actually, you *can* discover what the mixture of gasses is. You just need to get a spectrophotometer and to look at the graph. Because each gas emits a different wavelength of light, you'll be able to tell what the mixture of gasses is to an extent. I'm fairly sure that Brainiac75 did an experiment similar to this

A simple collimator and prism will do for many gases. Their main emission lines usually are clear, intense and easily distinguished with the help of spectra available easily on the internet.

The central ampoule in the sodium lamps can be removed, and if unbroken make nan excellent fine honer for knife blades. An older fellow electrician in the oilfield showed me this trick decades ago. Used it today in fact.

If you haven't done so already: you should try the BLACK FIRE experiment with your low-pressure-sodium lamp. (you just need to make a "sodium" flame and when you look at it with only the sodium lamp, it looks like black fire.. very cool, but hard to get the best solution mixture).

Incredibly dumb question. 15:30 where are the wave-patterns coming from? The gas attempting to move away from the coils? I assume it has nothing to do with the double slit experiment.

I suspect its the mechanical vacuum pump that is creating the wave pattern as it cycles which causes the air pressure inside to vibrate. Normally in a sealed tube its just uniform.

No. issue is that Ar, Kr, Xe are all much heavier gases which don't get as excited as lighter gases which causes them to emit light. The ions on the lighter gases are traveling much faster since it requires much less force to accelerate them compared to heavier gases. He driving all of the tubes from the same power supply. Perhaps if he used two power supplies with the second driving the heavier gases at much higher voltages they could be brighter.

Nah, the beauty of Fahrenheit is that it annoys metric snobs to no end! :) The reason why the US still uses it because our industrial base was never destroyed during all those european wars. Europe was able to retool all its factories when they had to replace them. The US largely continue to use old factory equipment that was built prewar or during the war. Plus the US was very busy producing the goods Europe & Asia needed after the war to rebuild.No body wants to spend the billions to convert over to metric. However if Europe is willing to pay the costs to retool everything over to metric America will be glad to switch over. Deal? Using your logic, How come every European & Asian nation hasn't adopted English as the official language? it would make everything a lot easier right? Should the French, Spanish, Germans, Italians all abandon their native languages and just teach & speak English?

To find out the gas contents, could a spectroscopic measurement be taken? Put the plasma ball in a ray of, say, white light, shine it through the ball, then have some sort of receiving instrument measure the wavelengths of light coming out the other side. The way they determine chemical contents of astral bodies Different wavelengths mean different chemicals.

I imagine you can make a plasma gun ionizing the air molicules then propegating the plasma theough the air at high velocity using vortex ring technology.

What happens if you feed some gas like methane or hydrogen rather than Air through a Plasma cutter torch? Will you get an even hotter flame of reducing nature, rather than oxidizing that could be used for welding rather than cutting metals?

That’s why. Let’s right in! :D the English is getting good! However this made me laugh at the end of the intro. :)

So is there a temperature/pressure at which the burning of air becomes self-sustaining?

In one of your videos you showed the reduction of copper with hydrogen, here are some questions, what other metals can be reduced this way? does this reaction work with copper carbonate? Is it possible to use methane gas instead of hydrogen? Is it possible to use 'syngas' wood gas in this reaction instead of hydrogen? I believe that these questions of mine can make a cheaper video.

20 years ago when I was a kid I bought a plasma lamp like that one. The 1st time I used it I got amazed then scared when I touched the glass and the sparks came to the tips of my fingers. Then I licked it and the sparks jumped to the tip of my tongue! I got so scared of getting cancer or so, so I put it away. I've also opened it apart and there was a green lamp that had no electrical wires on it but it gave light when the lamp was on, and back then I just couldn't understand it. Now I know what plasma is and how it works... And I still have that lamp somewhere...

Plasma ball messed up my computer once. The charge spreads through the room and charges stuff. Try working with an optical mouse next to it. The pointer gets crazy. And it's just the begining. My GPU was fkd up. I was updating drivers, even had to update/repair bios. It was a mystery. Then I lost the ball and it slowly went back to normal. I just had to tune the fans for some reason. I wonder if it produces negative ions like those fancy $200 air ionizers. I think so, just with 1000x higher voltage

Wouldn't it be easiest to observe the plasma lamp with a spectrometer? The gaps should tell you what elements are in the ball

Sir, can I share this?

Couldn’t you just use a Diffraction Grating to get an idea of the wavelengths and narrow down the possible gas combinations? As I understand it that’s how we tell star composition.

What about radon? I don't see this used in 'neon' type lamps.
