Quantity: 1 - Blue Star Interactive Light Sculpture
Interact with the Blue Star!
Plasma technology brings US this glowing tribute to the Blue Star Banner
Since World War I families all over North America have displayed the American Flag. Representing a service member in active duty, the banner would be exhibited in or outside the home until their safe return.
Now this famed symbol can glow brighter than ever with the Patriotic Blue Star interactive light sculpture. This mesmerizing, symbolic light combines plasma light along with a sculpted metal star that stands proudly for all Americans serving in the US Military and is a touching homage to Old Glory. Simply touch the glass, and watch as the light travels to your fingertip, symbolically connecting you to that special someone serving his or her country away from home. With its built-in Pattern Control you can even choose the intensity of the light, from a single soft-glowing star to a thunderstorm of illumination.
The Patriotic Blue Star features a hand-blown glass chamber, crafted metal star sculpture, Pattern Control, On/Off Selector Switch and comes with its own AC Power Adapter.

Portable Plasma/Mini Plasma/Lumidisk
These all work on the following principle: A high voltage (low current) power source of about 50,000 volts excites the electrons in the PLASMA inside the glass sphere or disk. This high energy is enough to boost the electrons into higher orbits around the atoms of the gas. When the electrons drop back down to lower orbits they give off light in the form of photons. In the process, PLASMA is formed. PLASMA is the fourth state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma). PLASMA is like liquid electricity. The streams of plasma emanate outward in the dazzling display you see. They travel randomly outward to the inside of the glass. If you put your finger or hand on the outside of the glass there will be an indirect path to ground (your body) induced. However, these toys are perfectly safe since glass is a great insulator. Electricity would rather flow through 1000 miles of copper wire than it would through 1 cm of glass.
APPLICATIONS
Stars
Plasma is the same stuff that stars are made of. Subsequently, there is more plasma than there is anything else in the Universe.
Lightning
Lightning bolts are also made of plasma; a superheated bolt of lightning contains about 1 Coulomb or 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 (6,25 Pentillion) electrons, yet you cannot see them since the electrons are "point particles" and thus have no apparent size.
