Here at Slightly-Mad Science we do Dangerously-Stupid science demos and make things splodey...so you don't die a horrible blazing electric death!
I recently obtained a "Violet Wand" (not to be confused with a "Violent Wand" which is what Harry Potter fans use when you make fun of them). It was made over 80 years ago, and still works. It's a nice example of applied physics, and ALSO how some will try to scam you into buying quack medical devices claiming to cure almost every known disease. Perfect for Slightly-Mad Science. Time for some antique high voltage!

I have remained silent while a tragedy of epidemic proportions rages across the entire world. I can no longer remain silent. I MUST do something. Sarcasm follows.
15,000 volts going through a light bulb. Turns it into a plasma bulb. The plasma is because the space in the light bulb isn't a vacuum as some people think, but a low-pressure environment with noble gasses (like argon). Shown with 3 scenarios, the last time the current breaks the glass pretty dramatically.

This video answers the questions, of who I am, what I do, and why I do it. NOTE: One of my videos appeared 11/28/2008 on Science Channel's "Brink!" Woo!
