Ramsey Electronics Model No. PG13

Have you ever wanted to play with a controlled substance? Now
you can! It is called plasma, and it is easily generated by this
nifty high voltage kit. This is the same though more powerful
supply that is used in Plasma Balls and neon art, and can be
used for all sorts of high voltage experiments! Turn a standard
light bulb into a plasma sphere!

•

Perfect for driving a Jacob’s ladder. See plasma at work!

•

Can light many feet of neon tubing

•

Perfect for driving plasma balls, even make a standard light bulb
into a plasma sphere!

•

Optional 12VAC transformer and this kit are all you need to begin
experimenting!

•

Can generate sparks up to 2 inches.

•

Very thorough manual on high voltage safety, many neat
experiments, and lessons learned along the way.

•

Can produce many of the same effects as Tesla Coil, on a smaller
scale.

•

Great for science fairs!
