the case you are mentioning requires a high voltage input, I'm talking about a different case, the ionization here takes place due to the thermal energy of atmospheric molecules, there is no energy input required but the ambient temperature.

I was wondering if we could create some gaseous matter whose ionization energy is very low, so it can be fully ionized under room temperature, thus converted in plasma. I know that plasma loses energy quickly by radiation, if we could harness this radiated energy, won't this violate the...
