hi jbignes5,
Since you mentioned -The "ion" description is a logical fallacy that is born in our minds because we couldn't detect the plasma in it's cold state. It is a transmitter after all. A highly dynamic one at that. A super fluid liquid crystal is the best description I could give.
Let me put it in one sentence without "ionization" plasma cannot be formed."Layman word Plasma is spark"
So you were talking rubbish after all and worst told us a "long story" which is not related to this topic.
Plasma doesn't form. why do you think that plasma is created?
Plasma, in physics, an electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles, produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. It is sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter, distinct from the solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
This is the logical fallacy part. Soo convoluted with double speak and circular logic.
reference:
https://www.britannica.com/science/plasma-state-of-matter Plasma is not that. This example was a definition of plasma that caught on in the 1950's.
I would rather take this definition because it doesn't have all of the circular logic and clearly defines it.
"the fluid portion of the
blood, in which the formed elements (blood cells) are suspended. Plasma is to be distinguished from
serum, which is plasma from which the
fibrinogen has been separated in the process of clotting. Called also
blood plasma" This definition is the oldest. It is a medium of which everything in the blood floats. It is the nearest definition that hits on the mark. We really don't have a clue really what it is and it isn't a story, it's the closest description of what it is. Plain and simple.
Plasma is the one thing that runs it all, the medium itself. It is all around matter and it can't be created, only condensed from space. The medium that divides matter and space. Time is there because of that division, otherwise we couldn't measure time. If matter wasn't divided there would not be a here or a there.
As plasma physics gets more defined we will understand better and they are working on the definition and reasoning of what it is. Until then we must understand that plasma is not created it is everywhere and can be condensed only from space.
Ionization= "Ionization is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons to form ions, often in conjunction with other chemical changes."
Care to show me an electron please. what is a charge? And in this description of an ion it sorta declares that an ion is a chemical process. hmm.. See if you have no clue as to what plasma is your definition is convoluted and crazy. Using made up things like electrons. The electron is a fudge factor. Made up to balance the equations of the current theories. This is why we can not get energy from the real world without taking matter apart with the current theories. The only thing that it does is liberate the bound plasma in matter. The expansion of that plasma is an energy but a rather destructive way to matter to get it.
One question though, how does an atom or a molecule actually know it has obtained this negative charge. There has to be something there for that to happen. Or else the atom would short out and nothing would exist there. Atoms by the way have been calculated to have 97 or so percent space in them. Space in modern theories have nothing there. Empty, zero, nada between the matter components. And the circular logic brings us back to the beginning of this discussion. It was designed to do just that. Make it so confusing that we just throw up our hands and say F it.
Meanwhile others have studied the process and found ways to gain through condensing(density change) of the plasma and allowing it to expand back out to gain energy in the matter of our system. This is mainly done via potentials across space. The easiest way is between two points in space. A spark gap in layman's terms forces the condensation of plasma between those two points in space otherwise named a spark or arc. Properly designing a system to take advantage of the changing density of this fundamental conductor is the only way to get energy in our systems without destruction to matter.
Listen I don't pretend to know the whole story. How could I? But I know enough to understand the gross process. My thoughts on this actually go deeper but it gets crazy at that scale. My best understanding is that it is fractal in nature, going and going, dividing and condensing, expanding and contracting into a never ending fractal, ever smaller into infinity. Crystals forming at periodic scales which is ever present in nature. Those crystals pointing to the fractal nature of this process.
I once pointed out the nature of Moore's law as a proof that the dynamic nature of the medium that is becoming finer and finer in density allowing us to see and effect finer and finer elements of this medium. In the past is wasn't possible to effect those changes because the medium had not become so divided. As the medium moves and carries energy in that movement it kinda gets smaller in scale or emulsified : "An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably, emulsion should be used when both phases, dispersed and continuous, are liquids.". Not all of the medium gets this way but it is a fundamental process going on if you know the method of transmission.
Is plasma a matter? I couldn't tell you. Maybe it is the perfect matter. The odds are good it is. Is there a true space or does the plasma divide forever? Is plasma a super fluid? These are the problems I am running into in describing the medium of space. Do we need to know the finer aspects to understand gross matter. I highly doubt it because others have used it without such investigations ie. Tesla and TK to name a few. Everyone puts Tesla and TK down becaue they don't care to know what the medium is. Their theories are adequate for their systems to work and that is fine but when they try to push their theories onto the discoveries of Tesla, TK and others they can not grasp those discoveries. Their math doesn't support it, so without trying and doing the experiments properly and from the instructions of Tesla they misconstrue the outcome.
This is very on topic with the title. TK after all was verifying Tesla's experiments and video after video was proving it does work, even if he didn't understand the process entirely he was validating the methods of Tesla in every release.
