Here are some pictures of the green glowing gas in the plasma globe I was
talking about. Tim L.

Hopefully they come through.

That's really wild. I wonder how much voltage is generated in those
plasma globes?? Any Idea? Ira.

One of my old Plasma balls uses an ordinary TV high voltage teansformer with an in-built diode cascade and produces somewhere between 20-25KV. I guess the plasma ball must be something like 20 years old now, or perhaps more, I bought it as a kid a long time ago.

Doesn't oxygen (O2+) have a couple of green emission lines around 500nm?

Possible?
