Plasma is created by strong electromagnetic fields such as lightning and neon signs. Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter. The other three being solid, liquid and gas. The most abundant form of matter in the universe is plasma.
Plasma – Heating a gas may ionize its molecules or atoms (reducing or increasing the number of electrons in them), thus turning it into a plasma, which contains charged particles: positive ions and negative electrons or ions.
What’s the problem?
Plasma ball. Wiring. Sound vibration > alter the plasma display.
