In this video, I talk about my decorative electrodeless plasma tubes, with several asides where I lapse into speculation about the physical processes that give rise to their various colors. I mention the socket base that I make for use with these tubes. I discuss the Ramsey PG13 "plasma generator" power supply kit that I recommend for energizing these tubes.
