SUMMARY
A plasma ball operates by using a Tesla Coil to generate high-voltage electrical discharges. These discharges create ionized gas, which produces the colorful plasma streams visible within the glass sphere. The interaction of the electric charge with the surrounding gas is what creates the dynamic visual effects associated with plasma balls.
