Time to find out what happens when a big magnet comes close to a plasma globe.

Will the plasma filaments follow the magnetic field? Will nothing happen or something completely different?

I also test their light output on the spectrometer to figure out what gases are inside. One of them had a hidden, not very pleasant emission I haven't seen documented before. Including a mystery spectral line I am not sure about the origin of. Maybe you know it?

Hope you like the video. Let me know of any questions you may have.

Monster magnet meets plasma ball...

Thanks to Brilliant for supporting my channel with the sponsorship. Use this link https://www.brilliant.org/Brainiac75 for 20% off on the premium subscription and help me out at the same time. Plasma is known to react to a magnetic field because it is made up of electrically charged particles. This makes me wonder what would happen, if a large magnet is put close to a plasma globe?

That’s crazy the buzz sound by just putting a magnet close to the power plug.

Good thing they didn’t use quartz glass and the small ball.

It does tell us something about the forces at stake when a 13 kg magnet is vibrating at 50 Hz on the table :) The extra rattle in the voltmeter test is most likely due to some metal clad extenders under the table vibrating too.

Soon to be on eBay “quartz glass plasma ball UVC germicidal disco lamp”

Hehe, Big Clive would definitely buy and test that. I am looking for a bigger version of the violet/orange plasma globe but the vintage ones on eBay are overpriced and all seem to be around 15 cm/6" in diameter.
