This is a really unusual plasma effect we created by accident. What should be the green of a “Promethean Fire” globe has become teal, and the plasma splashes have hundreds of filaments, almost like “fur”. We’re currently working to see if we can replicate this!

Obscuring the rich starfields of northern Cygnus, dark nebula LDN 988 lies near the center of this cosmic skyscape. Composed with telescope and camera, the scene is some 2 degrees across. That corresponds to 70 light-years at the estimated 2,000 light-year distance of LDN 988. Stars are forming within LDN 988, part of a larger complex of dusty molecular clouds along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy sometimes called the Northern Coalsack. In fact, nebulosities associated with young stars abound in the region, including variable star V1331 Cygni shown in the inset. At the tip of a long dusty filament and partly surrounded by a curved reflection nebula, V1331 is thought to be a T Tauri star, a sun-like star still in the early stages of formation. via NASA 1.usa.gov/1uH75EC
First experiments with burning filaments. Ran out of bulbs before i got the expoure nailed down so had to tinker in lightroom a little.
Certainly looks like stellar rain. The closest star shining bright, whilst being showered in a rain that is not water, but stars, creatures of the firmament. And it's alone; its only companion, its own reflection.
But it's not...
this is what an aligned filament looks like before it's installed into the electron gun assembly. The alignment is cake-- it's all the damn polishing, and scrubbing, and then getting the polishing compound off the metal that's the real pain in the ass.
This is the close up of the filament of light in glass. The output of this is a white light spectrum. Yea.. we have amplified fs laser pulses!!!
Here's a B&W treatment of the previous image to highlight the details of the filaments in the spiderwort flower.
prints from my recently revived thingomatic
whistles on the left printed with fluorescent red from MakerBot industries. whistles on the right printed with a sampler of purple filament from lybina.
both printed with similar profiles with some small tweaks which were not filament specific. the front right whistle had better reversal values which avoided the gaps which appear in the others.
