xOverview
Meet the Discovery Plasma Globe Lamp, a captivating fusion of science, art, and ambient light. Inside the clear globe, electric tendrils dance in response to touch and music, delivering a kinetic display that invites curiosity. The centerpiece is a compact Tesla coil that energizes noble gases to create colorful, glow-filled trajectories you can watch unfold with each interaction.
How it works
Concealed inside is a Tesla coil that drives high voltage alternating currents through a plasma chamber. When you rest a finger on the glass, the tendrils track your touch, creating a vivid path of light. In addition, the built-in sound sensor makes the glow shift with your voice or music.
