Hey dear Hive friends, first of all I hope that you are all well and that you have a pleasant start to the new week! In this post I would like to present the photos in black and white for the #monomad challenge and hope you like them.
You can see pictures of a plasma lamp here and I think they are really very abstract and artistic. The inventor of plasma lamps is the well-known inventor Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1946) who was known for having developed numerous technologies and this lamp was originally used for the research of plasma. There are different types of plasma lamps but in principle they all work very similar and inside the ball is a mixture of different gases such as neon and argon. There is an electrode in the sphere that generates high voltage and an electric field is generated in which the electrons inside the sphere come into contact with the gas atoms.
Flashes are created from the electrode, which usually move from the bottom up in the sphere with the help of the resulting heat and form very abstract looking forms. Although the plasma ball works with very high voltages of about 20,000 volts and 35 kHz you can touch the ball without getting an electric shock. By the way, the word plasma originally comes from the Greek and means as much as to shape and it is probably a special invention when it comes to Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla was generally known for having researched electrical energy which is transmitted with the help of alternating current and the plasma lamp was one of his 700 patents which he applied for.
Thanks for stopping by and watching! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens!
