I learned about the "four states of matter" (there are more, I checked) in middle school but ngl I kinda forgot that fire and plasma were different until reading your comment.
it is not a plasma gun, it is a combustion powered airgun
a combustion reaction contained within the plastic jugs that is fueled by the blue stuff from the tank hes holding causes the air within the jugs to be rapidly expelled, thus blowing over his target
It’s not a true plasma gun of course, but its a common name for what’s shown in the vid. It’s more of a flame or fireball gun that only uses propane (or similar gas) and a spark to ignite a fireball after you fill the chambers with gas.
Looks really cool and all, but a potato cannon is much more fun.
This is really cool but it is not plasma. Plasma is electrically charged gas that is thousands of degrees. This is just blue flame from a very hot gas combustion.

I’m not sure if that’s plasma or if that’s just fire.
Yeah what is a plasma gun?
Different than fire.
Science
And with a gun. ☝️🧐
Technically fire is a type of plasma
plasma is the fourth state of matter
A gun that shoots plasma.
Captain obvious reporting for duty
⚛️ 🔫
Not this, butane exploding in a tube = plasma... Tards.
Fire is a plasma generated from a chemical reaction, so it’s both! Altho most people think about electrically or fusion based plasmas as plasma

Yeah here’s fire being plasma
Plasma is a state of matter where electrons were stripped off. Requires a lot of energy like in a lightning.

Yes
Hey! It gets the job done though. Break into a house and see that fired at me I would jump out the window.
Probably just fire
Damn’ right…that shits 🔥🔥🔥

please correct me if I am wrong
I only have 1 question. How do I make one?
I have at least 20 empties of these due to a purchasing error. Meant to get full ones delivered and clicked the wrong item.
Free pickup, no shipping.
Well that is a sign you need to make this into a rocket or an ultra mega super sonic 9000 version of this.
Is your name Al Harrington?
I'm sure instructions are only a Google search away.
Not from Temu
I mean, basically, yeah.
Yes, it's likely the potato gun without the potato
Don’t potato guns work off of pressure differentials? This is a combustion reaction
Can't you set it up either way? Ours had ignition of hairspray to shoot the potato

Sure as shit doesn’t make that sound either. The buzzing one.
Fire = Plasma
And that's a triple barrel one! I've seen plenty of people make single barrel ones before
Gas gun, probably propane or butane, not plasma
This is really cool but it is not plasma. Plasma is electrically charged gas that is thousands of degrees. This is just blue flame from a very hot gas combustion.
Look how gas flame is plasma though https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=Proc.%20R.%20Soc.%20A&title=A%20Preliminary%20Investigation%20of%20Field-Induced%20Ion%20Movement%20in%20Flame%20Gases%20and%20Its%20Applications&author=KG%20Payne&author=FJ%20Weinberg&volume=250&publication_year=1959&pages=316-336&doi=10.1098/rspa.1959.0066&#d=gs_qabs&t=1766478628933&u=%23p%3DLhDmvzK_2WgJ
did you read that?
no
I read the abstract. The gist is that fire is weakly ionized and therefore can be pushed around by an electric field.
The photos are compelling.
Save that for the revolution!
is this technically a gun?
An air gun, yes
FIRE IT UP
WANNA TURN UP THE HEAT?
LET’S BURN!
Are these StarCraft quotes? They seem familiar.
GIMME SOMETHIN’ TO SHOOT
"Got any questions about propane?"
That sound is absolute peak
Yeah like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Plasma gun? How come it doesn’t balance my chips and mult?
Local rednecks be like...... One more time wooooooooo
The slayer has obtained the BFG 9000
Wait… what? …. Don’t leave me hanging here 😲
Officially the coolest guy ever.
Kamehameha is plasma, not energy.. I don't know who needed to know this, but it's true!
Plasma technically IS energy, too.
GIMME THE CASHHHHHHH
I shoot plasma out of my ass too
You need to Pack-a-Punch that bad boy
It's a jet made of junk
A junkjet if you will
Looks likes an updated Fallout gun!
That woom sound tho.
COD zombies wonder weapon
Thindergun but irl
Bfg 10000
Finally know what I want for Christmas.
Where is the plasma they promised?
Lewis coming back to Ferrari after winter break.
Anyone have a link with instructions on how to build these? My kid would fucking love this and wife would Fucking hate it.
Both scenarios make me equally as happy.
I dunno if that is plasma or not but it is interesting, so upvote
Neat toy
its amazing how it actually sounds like a plasma piston from halo lol
Lol this is rubbish, it's a Temu spud cannon
