Uira Engine Plasma Tube Test

Friday, February 26, 2010

I know I’ve posted a video of some of the experiments we did involving evacuating the plasma tubes of the Uira Engine but I’m not sure I ever posted any video of this later tube design.

Experiments with Vacuum and Plasma — Advancing The Uira Engine

Sunday, October 25, 2009

On Friday the Almost Scientific team documented a series of experiments conducted on the Plasma Tubes of the Uira Engine.
These experiments were largely in preparation for November 5th, 2009, when we will be doing a controlled testing firing of The Uira Engine at The Exploratorium in San Francisco.
The goal of these experiments was to qualitatively [...]

Lightning Rings

Friday, May 22, 2009

Almost Scientific collaborator Dr. Wade Enright has been in town for the past few days and we’ve been working on some new high-voltage effects with him.
These are continuations of out past experiments with dielectric barrier discharge
Hear are some photos from last nights experiments.  Thanks to Nick for shooting these photos while we made sure [...]

Making lightning in the bathroom

Monday, March 9, 2009

Over the past few weeks we have started some experiments with dielectric barrier discharge as a way of generating high voltage corona and plasma discharge across a surface.  This is a technique used by Kerry Tunstall and Wade Enright  to produce their high voltage work and they passed the method on to us while we [...]
