Introduction
The Plasma Globe Tesla coil generates a large potential difference to simulate lightning.
Does plasma transfer energy?

Scientific principle
Plasma globe demonstrates how lightning works as well as explain the concepts of potential differences and electron orbital jumping.
A small Tesla coil produces a large potential difference between it and the glass of the surrounding globe, similar to a cloud and its potential difference with the ground.
This potential difference uses inert gases inside the globe to complete a circuit. When the potential difference is large enough, the gas becomes ionized and electrons jump to the glass which is just like when electrons jump from the clouds to the ground.
Procedures
Procedures
The first thing you will notice about the sphere is that by placing a conductor. Your finger will do nicely and near the surface of the globe, the streams of plasma seem attracted to it.
Safety Regulations are not required.
