Cute tech but MHO if you are going to go plasma I'd rather have a 40-watt range phased plasma rifle instead...

Oddly enough, there were? attempts to market a plasma speaker headphone in the 80's and 90's by the "Audio Reference" company. Do a Google search on "plasmasonic headphone" for more information.

And what about the ionization ? and alpha gamma X ray ? and also UV ?
Doing plasma like that produce all of that, il is not so safe, so be really careful if you try that !

R.I.P. Hans Camenzind.
The inventor of the NE555 IC used in this video died just a few days ago (August 8, 2012). The NE555 was developed in 1971 and is still produced after more than 40 years.

i wish electronics didn't pickle my mind, think I'll stick to wiring houses for now.
I normally just end up with the blue smoke of death rising up o so majestically into the air and the sweet smell of yip that's definitely f**ked now when i mess with the circuits boards of magic!
