What would you do if plasma weapons were a thing? Would this lead to some awesome new tech with such a simple setup? Take a peek and decide for yourself!
Discover Channel’s Daily Planet has featured a pretty neat invention by Al Stahler. Could this be the precursor to the plasma gun we all know and love?
Using plastic bottles, hoses, and a gas tank filled with several different types of gases (including propane and MAPP gas) to get a high flame temperature and lower emission temperature to get colour and a burst of air from the gun. MAPP gas is commonly used in oxy-fuel wielding and cutting torches and contains propyne and propadiene. The gun itself looks amazing both day and night.
Al Stahler wows us with some awesome science but this is delving into the awesome realm of science fiction and bringing the possibility of our table top miniatures’ technologies to life. On his YouTube channel, he brings some neat renditions of what he calls the “Plasma Popper”, including a spiral one. While fairly simple in construction, the effects are awesome.
Check out his YouTube for more amazing things. Seriously, I want to see more from this one. Do you think this could lead into plasma weaponry down the road? Let us know in the comments!
