This is the first time someone mentions the plasma ball in the few years I been in wikianswers. I like this question because with the plasma ball we could see how Tesla conducted his experiments. Tesla invented the plasma lamp for his experiments with high frequency currents of electricity in a vacuum glass tube, scientifically called an "evacuated tube" The Plasma Ball or lamp was actually first named by Tesla as "an inert gas discharge tube" for a better description.
He wanted better light bulbs and he created those as well.

How can you make a tiny plasma ball?
I gues the smallest one is a 4" plasma ball.😉
How does tesla coils work how to make the static electric ball?
The plasma ball is an electrical apparatus invented by Nikola Tesla in 1894; it was first popularized as a novelty item in the 1980s. It is composed of a central electrode surrounded by a glass globe containing a mixture of inert gases. It functions as a miniature Tesla coil, and is useful for conducting several electrical experiments. It emits high-frequency high-voltage low-current signal. Discharges from this ionize a gas, or gas mixture (exactly which depends on the globe), creating a charged plasma. Current flow through that plasma heats it, causing it to glow -- just as a static-electricity spark (or a lightning bolt) glows. The bulb may or may not have a conductive coating to act as the other terminal for this ionizing current. If you come near to or touch the globe, you act as a large ground and some current flows to you, altering the pattern of ionization and thus the light patterns. (You may feel the current as a slight prickling where your skin touches the globe; as with static electricity there isn't enough current to do you any harm.)
An example of plasma?
Lightening and very hot flames, the filaments in a plasma ball, all of the stars.
Can you give me an example of plasma in a sentence?
The doctor asked the nurse to get some more plasma. The plasma ball was great, when i touched it the electricity came towards my hand.
Where did Norman stingley invent the bouncy ball?
He invented it in America

Is heat lightning is a melodrama?
For over a hundred years the only man capable of producing this effect was Nikola Tesla. No one has been able to successfully create ball lightning in its true form until now. The charged plasma can pass through a physical obstruction such as a wall or window while maintaining its form. Harnessing this force and controlling it will lead to a revolution in wireless power/fusion confinement in the near future.
Can you make ball of lightning a weapon?
Propaby Tesla did that at Tunguska.

Why can't you see plasma in the light?
You can if the plasma is briht. The sun is a ball of plasma and all other plasmas must compete with it.
Can you get shocked by a plasma ball?
No. This is because of the glass.
Why was bowling ball invent?
to throw at the pins
What did Henri Mosley invent?
a crystal ball
An example of plasma?
Lightening and very hot flames, the filaments in a plasma ball, all of the stars.
What are the stars?
A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma.
Did laszlo biro invent anything other than the ball point pen?
NO Laszlo Biro did not invent anything else besides the ball point pen. He invented the ball point pen in 1938.
What did Ladislao Brio invent?
the ball-point pen
