At Plasma Spinner™, we’re redefining play into a science experiment We are blending cutting-edge plasma physics with mesmerizing, family-friendly fun. Whether you’re a parent sparking your scientific imagination or a researcher delving into electromagnetic field dynamics, our kits deliver an awe-inspiring experience that bridges generations.
A Discovery Rooted in Science, Crafted for Play. Inspired by the Vortex Theory, the Plasma Spinner™ unveils the hidden dynamics of plasma as a fluid-like field think of it as a miniature lake (the plasma globe) with streams (tendrils) spiraling into a drain (the vortex). This isn’t just a toy it’s a gateway to understanding concepts like magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and electrohydrodynamics (EHD), fields that drive innovations in energy, aerospace, and scientific research (Burin et al., 2015). For parents, it’s a chance to nurture STEM curiosity in kids 14 and up; for scientists, it’s a tool to experiment with plasma viscosity, field rotation, and perturbation effects in a controlled, accessible way. Unleash a Safe Plasma Vortex with Plasma Spinner™ Transform a standard 3-inch plasma globe (required, globe not included) into a captivating vortex of glowing plasma with the 3-inch Plasma Spinner™ kit now available! The 3" can be operated by either USB or 4 AAA batteries. Simply attach the kit, power it up by touching the remote grounding wire and working your hand around the grounding strap until a vortex is formed (the time for this varies based on multiple factors) and watch as the plasma tendrils swirl like a cosmic whirlpool, revealing the fluid-like behavior of electric fields. Our kits are designed for safety, with coated contact points ensuring worry-free exploration. (Note: Not compatible with “butterfly” or heart-shaped plasma lamps.) The 3" Plasma Spinner ring has a stepped edge for future experiments.
A Universe of Possibilities Awaits Whether you’re hand-inducing a USB vortex on a 3-inch Plasma Spinner™ or letting it spin freely on batteries, the Plasma Spinner™ invites you to explore plasma physics in a way that’s as educational as it is enchanting.
From fluid mechanics (think aircraft design) to electromagnetism (think fusion energy research), plasma technology holds the key to humanity’s future and your Plasma Spinner™ Vortex Kit brings that future home.

Explore Plasma Physics Hands-On or Hands-Free The 3-inch Plasma Spinner™ kit works with USB or DC power, offering versatile control:
USB power
Touching the strap or holding the tail will start the spinning on USB mode. It's not easy though.
The main plasma vortex is around the Plasma Spinner ring. The vertical funnel on the 3" requires even more practice but it's worth it.
Add a 6 inch plasma globe to both stabilize and induce a vortex in the 3 inch Plasma Spinner..
We are going to show you some extra ways to create a vortex with a Plasma Spinner™ but there are even more plasma experiments and exciting discoveries that have not been published publicly, reserved for controlled review due to safety factors. And more to be found!

DC power
Enjoy hands-free spinning with DC power or give the vortex a boost by touching the strap or tail.
DC setups offer the widest range of speeds, depending on your battery strength, creating a mesmerizing illusion of motion.
Plasma Spinner™ can even create a vortex when it looks like the batteries are dead (not shown here). You can drag the weak filaments from the band to the ring to start a vortex.
