What have you found so far? If you type that into Google, one of the resulting category tabs will be "videos"...

I think you may have suffered from the fact that the term Plasma is taken by search engines to imply you want to buy something that uses plasma. (That's what they make their money with.) You need to get past their defences.Gomide Math said:
You need to choose a suitable extra term if you want some Physics content. I tried Low pressure plasma formation" and that got me past the sales section into things that you may want. Web searching is all about asking the right question and that 's a skill that takes time and determination to acquire.
Sorry if that sounds smug but it's true. Think of it as an adventure game where you have to ask the dragon the right question before you get to the gold. Good luck.
