Just finished another project for the SPARK Museum auction. Inspired by the “Gothic Rocket”, this is similar to a plasma sphere, the plasma arcs respond if you touch the glass. All of the rocket structure around the base (and the top ring) was cut from acrylic.

I love this, and long to cause some plasma arcs. You are going to be the star of the auction!

I should clarify that the tube was made by the great plasma artist, Wayne Strattman. All I did was the base & top ring.

Yeah, I looked for elongated shaped plasma tubes, I wanted to build an airship around one (more rugby-ball shaped). I make for fun, so cost-prohibitive!

Another super cool one from you! I’d love to see a video of it in action, and even one of you assembling it.

Looks really cool but the price of the tube 
is about the same as a GF basic 
they sure beat the glass kaleidoscopes although making them in double-walled glass tubes could be amazing as well. A shop I was working at had a 6" antique glass lathe, Looking I see a new one is in the glowforge pro price range but weighs far more than the one I used. Getting them properly aligned was a huge problem.

Yes, they are not cheap! Fortunately the Artist donated the tube to the auction. His work is amazing!

Do you work with a glass lathe?
No, but Wayne helped me make a wine glass on his once!
