A plasma jet is not a conveyance (like a passenger jet airplane). It is a superheated stream of ionized gas, and is used in several applications including
- surgical vaporization and cautery
- cutting and shaping conductive metals
- high performance spark plug systems
- spacecraft thrusters
(Plasma jet engines would not function well in a planetary atmosphere because they are designed for high specific impulse but low total thrust.)

What is the luminous electrical discharge through the air that occurs when high voltages exist across a gap between conductors?
It is called a plasma discharge. It happens when a high voltage, pole top, air switch is opened under load and the current does not immediately stop but conducts through the air as the switch pole faces become further apart. Eventually the resistance of the air-gap overcomes the current flow and the plasma discharge extinguishes itself. These flash overs are hard on the contact points on the switch so long rods (called horns) are placed on the switch contacts so that as the contacts separate, the plasma discharge is drawn away from the contact and up the rods (horns) until the flash over stops. These types of switches are called horn gap switches.
What is plasma welding?
Plasma welding is another name for arc welding. It is a process in which electricity super heats air to form a plasma arc. This arc transmits an electrical current to a metal surface and creates heat to melt the metal together thus creating a weld joint.
How does a central heating pump work?
The thermostat tells the air conditioner to pull in air. The air then goes through cooling lines in to the house. goes through the vents and out through the registers in the rooms of the house.
Why must an air cooled condenser be located where the air will not recirculate through it?
It can't
What is the purpose of a vent stack?
Without the help of plumbing vents, water and waste would not move properly through the pipes in your home. They introduce air into the plumbing system so there is no vacuum, and they carry out sewer gases which could potentially make you sick.
What files through air?
Various objects can travel through air, such as birds, planes, kites, and parachutes. Additionally, wind can carry particles like dust, pollen, and smoke through the air.
Can you make sounds without air?
Yes you can make sound without air, because sound can travel through all the forms of matter, gases, liquid, solid, and plasma. If you submerged yourself underwater, you'd still be able to hear sound.
What is the medium that sound waves travel through when a person speake?
Air.
Do Mosquitos carry the plague disease?
no, the plague virus is to spread through air not by mosquito
Do tiny vibrations carry sound through the air?
Vibrations through some medium ARE sound. Vibrations through the air are just one example. The air vibrates and when the vibrations hit human ear drums, they are heard.
Were can you find plasma?
Plasma can be found in the stars, solar air, in the sun and also in fusion.
How does the heart carry air?
the heart does not carry air. the heart pumps blood that travels through the lungs, where the blood becomes enriched with oxygen. that blood returns to the heart, where it is then pumped throughout the body
How are diseases spread from person to person?
by just breathing it through the air and other ways to

What phase does a bolt of lightning exist in?
A bolt of lightning primarily exists in the plasma phase. This is a high-energy state where electrons are separated from atoms, creating a conducting medium that allows electricity to flow through the air.
Why can a person run through air but not a fence?
don't be stupid
Why dont sound waves travel through space?
Sound needs something to carry the waves. This is most commonly air, and there is no air in space.
