You are thinking of x-rays not gamma rays. If the pressure were low enough, say <100 mTorr, electrons might gain enough energy to cause the glass t...

It's also possible that the bulb you were using was under a slight vacuum and, thus, was generating gamma radiation, which appears green when passing ...

I bought a 125 mm clear light bulb for this little experiment and used the TL494 driver I am still writing about in the project section.
I took s...

While somewhat large at 12.5 cm, there is nothing particularly unusual about this incandescent lamp. They are commonly availa...

I have a plasma speaker that has an output just as you have described.
I used a 8032 pentode tube and my coil ran at 27 MHz. It used about 50 w...

It has been done! I forget which site but I think it was extreme electronics? He put a coil or a marx gen in a big lexan box full or argon IIRC. I'll ...

I wonder what an audio modulated DRSSTC would sound or look like in a large under pressured enclosure. I have been wanting to do this for a while =P

I ran my DRSSTC arc through a 4 inch by 2 foot acrylic tube. Ends were capped, but not vacuum sealed. The 2 foot arcs were SO much quieter. I would as...
