Plasma Tubes and Sculptures

Posted by Tony Greer Special Effects Neon on 4/11/2006
Featured by Micah Evans

Gases or vapors give off light when ionized by electricity into a plasma state. This fourth state of matter is created when electrons get knocked out of their stable orbits by other free electrons racing towards the positively charged electrode. A single photon of a particular wavelength of light is emitted when an electron falls back into its stable orbit. The result of billions of these photons every second is a glow of light that seems to come from empty space.

Blown Glass Plasma Sculptures

Hand-blown furnace glass plasma lamps and sculptures. A collaboration between Sandstorm Glassworks and Special Effects Neon, these one of a kind art glass pieces produce their own illumination using ionized inert gases and glowing phosphors that create light, color and motion within the glass envelope.

The things that intrigue me most are electricity, light and glass. Each one is fascinating on its own, but when these elements are combined they have the potential to become something uniquely beautiful. For me, this is the perfect marriage of science and art, as I find many of the phenomena in physics, as well as nature intrinsically beautiful.
