New Plasma Device Considered The ‘Holy Grail’ Of Energy Generation And Storage
Scientists at the University of Missouri have devised a new way to create and control plasma that could transform American energy generation and storage.
Randy Curry, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Missouri’s College of Engineering, and his team developed a device that launches a ring of plasma at distances of up to two feet. Although the plasma reaches a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun, it doesn’t emit radiation and is completely safe in proximity to humans.
While most of us are familiar with three states of matter – liquid, gas and solid – there is also a fourth state known as plasma, which includes things such as fire and lightning. Life on Earth depends on the energy emitted by plasma produced during fusion reactions within the sun.
The secret to Curry’s success was developing a way to make plasma form its own self-magnetic field, which holds it together as it travels through the air.
“Launching plasma in open air is the ‘Holy Grail’ in the field of physics,” said Curry.

More times than not the ones you love are who you let down.
We’re chasing something big our parents never tracked down.
The hardest part is looking back and making sense of
the humble tries and troubled times of where we came from.
Still I’m feeling like a vagrant in my own town,
I’m like an awkward conversation.
All of this work and I ain’t seein’ any wages,
I ain’t gonna stop until I do.
Still I’m feeling like a vagrant,
lost in a world where no one thinks that we can make it.
Don’t you know time is like a fortune when we take it,
baby, let me spend my time with you.
Animated a short dance during a live stream. Huzzah!
