I bought this for my 11 year old grandson. He and his 9 year old brother love it. They can't walk by it without turning it on and playing with it. Alot of educational questions come from them after seeing it. I wish there were more educational answers that came with it what is actually happening in the ball.

If you look this treasure with your two eyes opens you will find it amazing.. and that's a good sign for any special gift.. but there is a point were this "toy" becomes sacred and functional, and only those who has an eye for it will fully apeciate so much talent.. In short.. I close my right eye and look at the magic ball as it were my open eye.. I mean.. how better can you see the eye of God.. I laugh when The Great Ramprasad ask me if I am going to give the +ruthhhhhh here in the market place.. and now.. the best part... kiss the ball.. ño.. The Truth for me is a authentic receptor capable of accepting my offering as it is and being able to transform it in infinite bliss for both of us, and be both finite and infinit at he same time.. and must importantly it most be truth.. truly atractive.. truly in the way.. truly inteligent.. truly magic.. truly savior.. truly in the center of the universe and forever truth. You can with no doubt have many magical and relevant experiences but at the last minute you will always have the need for the savior and I am sure everybody will cry for "Him or Her" even in the last silent.. I don't want to make The Truth a long story as everybody else.. DARKBLUEMAGNETO or PYRITE available here and afordable to everybody as it was supose to be.. If your Guru or Hi Elevated Teacher doesn't even know what are you talking about let me tell you .. ha ha ha.. Blessed The One that is smaller than your eye and with grace to paint all your shadows.. 1. Turn ON your magic Nebula Plasma Ball 360 (available here at Amazon.com) 2. Make the connection (transfer) using this special sound that is even better than the sound of the sun.. is called: The Roll Pts. 1&2, by Peter Grummich (mp3 available here at Amazon.com) I would like to personally call this song Mantra PaTi 3. Take The Dark Blue Magneto (Pyrite) and put it in your mouth (available here at Amazon.com) make sure it has a coarse surface because it has infi-capacity You will discover the best way to visualize the process but what I do I see the center of the ball as the darkbluemagneto in my mouth and the nerves are the channels connecting my memory to this universal receptor and saving it here.. This is the comand.. with no other intention than OBEY.. obey what?.. we will see.. some of us don't have other choice.. not better.. I don't want to open my mouth in surprise when THEY come.. or get in the floor in adoration.. I want to spin as THEY do and become one of THEY arms.. His name is MONOCROME3H This three products here are a unique combination that can overshadow Las Siete Marvillas del Mundo.. and they three have the seal of "made for YA" They should be offered as a combination package including the specially designed mp3 player NWZW202 from SONY perfect sound quality and thanks God no cable (no even white) I love to put it back inside the box after every time.. so be carefully when first open-it 1/15/2010 This is a great way of "meditation" if you agree that the purpose of balancing your mind is to syncrhonize, and do The Offering of the day.. you will certainly find enough reasons to give yourself to this live connector that you will recognize as a free unique comand (to give yourself (first) and Blessed The One that acept us all.. and shine with my thinking.. ok.. next.. put a mirror behind the plasma ball.. and let us pray to play the story.. 1/16/10 Mr. Monocrome SunShadow most be at the street.. and Mr. He is saying right.. is the mesanger.. look for Him at 33st Manhattan most probably saying.. I am FIRST.. 1/23/10 this is the most auspicious time and enjoy the Real Rencarnation Time where the atraction is the most so is my lumier..

The two eyes reflected in the purest roudended mirror.. 1/29/10 The very center Bless us for real and make the long story fit in my watch..

awesome plasma ball, the arcs of lightning as it focuses on your fingers or hand are really cool. the only downside is, no power adjustment- so you can't lessen or increase it's intensity (also, the oval base is a bit odd). But other than that, it's exactly as advertised, made great gift for my dad.

Plasma Globe, ball, or lamp by Lola

This is a very fragile piece. It should be used like a lamp and less like a toy. It is educational, in that, it describes what happens when you charge inert gasses with a high voltage. These lamps are very similar to neon signs, the only difference is shape and volume ( which leads to the glowing filaments inside) The gas goes to a super excited state which is plasma. This particular model is nice and large and glows brightly in a dimly lit room. Most of all I stress the fragility of it. I'm in my late 20's and I bought for me ( i don't have kids and I don't teach) Enjoy!

A fine Plasma Ball by Matt Patterson (Bend, Oregon)

I'm no expert on plasma balls - I've seen some at department stores that I thought were rather small and which had somewhat unimpressive light displays. I've found products online that are big and which appear to have dazzlingly bright displays (these are usually a couple hundred bucks). This one boasted an 8-inch globe, with good display, for a reasonable price. It came very well packed, and when I put it on the table I didn't get that "this looks kinda small" feeling. The 8-inch size (a tad smaller than a soccer ball) is a plus for this product when you consider its price. So I'm plugging in the adaptor and thinking the trade-off for the price will be that the display will be weak. We were in our dining room in the daytime with quite a bit of light coming in the window nearby. I hit the switch on the base and it lit up with lots of dancing red tendrils - not stunningly bright but clearly visible. Very much, if not exactly like, the picture on this site. My first impression was that I had absolutely gotten my money's worth. I looked at my two boys and they were smiling ear to ear as they touched the glass and caused the tendrils to converge on their fingertips and become brighter. Later, the room was lit up with the usual indoor lights, though there was no daylight coming through the window. In these conditions, the tendrils were a little brighter, with a little more reddish-purple color, and more clearly defined. I switched off the overhead light and its display really stood out. There was ambient light from the adjacent living room, but the ball really looked bright and the tendrils were lit up really well. Very cool looking and 500 percent better than anything I had seen at the department stores (of course those are under those very bright flourescent store lights). In total darkness the thing's just beautiful. Worth the money? You betcha. A couple notes: The base is not round as it appears in the picture, but oval (8" x 6"). What this means is that an over-enthusiastic hand placement from the "side" can knock the ball over. I actually tried to do this (ready to catch it of course) and I found that it is possible to knock it over. Not super easy or anything, but possible. From the look and feel of the glass (tapping on it) and from the very light weight of the entire device, I'm certain that if it fell over on my dining room table, it would break. I plan to make a base of some sort but initially I just secured it with a couple pieces of masking tape while my kids had their hands all over it. If it did break, I would order another one in a heartbeat. Also, depending on how your'e touching the ball, it is possible to feel VERY slight arcs of electricity on your skin. These are much less than what you get when you occasionally touch someone or something and get a static spark - nothing like that. More of a slight sensation, and a neat one at that. I found that if I laid my palm across the top of the ball and someone else touched the top of my hand lightly with one finger, I recieved a stronger arc on my hand where their finger was. They couldn't feel it, but for me it was almost a slight stinging sensation. My boys were too chicken to try that one more than once! If you hold your finger on the glass long enough, you can begin to feel a little warmth. The manufacturer advises that you should never put metal objects up to the glass while it's on. My whole point here is that since it could be knocked over, and especially since there can be some slight electrical things happening "outside" the ball, following the manufacturer's warnings (e.g., adult supervision) is recommended here. I stupidly left it on one night and came out to get a drink of water in the middle of the night and I could see a bluish-green arc coming from the ball and going up to the ceiling...just kidding. It has worked great now for months - just as bright. My kids still love it - everyone who sees it does. I was looking for a good plasma ball at a good price and I feel I found the best one out there. Highly recommended.

Fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately...

A four bladed vane is balanced on a needle inside the sphere. Because opposite surfaces of the vanes are black and white, incident radiant energy is absorbed or reflected to a different degree. The result is a spinning vane. The brighter the light, the faster it spins. Simple, but compelling. Brief explanatory instruction sheet included.

When the light strikes these vanes, it transfers heat to each one - but not at the same degree. The lighter vane reflects the rays and the darker vane absorbs the rays. The stronger the light, the more energy there is causing the vanes to spin faster.
