DIY Xenon Plasma Tube

I love Carl's work, always doing something nerdy and sciency!

"I demonstrate and discuss my kitchen-table construction of a xenon-filled "plasma tube" (a glass tube that is filled with xenon gas at 50 torr and excited with a high-voltage, high-frequency power supply). I explain the glassblowing operations, the vacuum system, the gas, and the RF power supply."

(couple of swears at the 7 min mark, not sure if it qualifies for NSFW, but be advised)
