Xenon Freeze
One of my goals with this whole plasma project is to duplicate the intense green xenon plasma that I have seen from other peoples work. So far I've tried about four fills and have not had good results.
Xenon is really expensive so I'm leery of just filling glass at random. So today I tried an experiment that told me a lot. By putting an already filled globe with 100 torr of xenon over a flask of liquid nitrogen I was able to liquefy the xenon and thus increase the ratio of oxygen/nitrogen.
The video shows the globe as it cools and the color green just gets better and better. The globe initially had 100T Xe/0.8T N2/0.3T O2.
The video was clipped at the end, but you can still see the results very well.
Cheers.
