## Caption

Ever seen plasma move like it’s alive?
This 5-liter borosilicate sphere holds low-pressure xenon gas, a trace of carbon nanopowder, and strontium salt. When an inductive field from the BagelGen device energizes it, the gases ionize into plasma — a state of matter where electrons roam free.

The result: a toroidal (“bagel-shaped”) halo of glowing particles.
🔥 Carbon dust flares gold.
💜 Strontium chloride flashes violet.
Each pulse is physics painting in real time — temperature, field strength, and gas mix shifting the color and motion.

Would you want one of these in your lab or living room? Drop a ⚡ if you’d try this.
