| Model | Plasma Ball |
The graceful purple arcs of plasma dancing in a plasma ball are created by a large alternating voltage at its center, and that alternating voltage creates an electromagnetic field with which we can light a fluorescent tube. Plasma globes are used as curiosities or toys for their unique lighting effects and the "tricks" that can be performed on them by users moving their hands around them.
