The Cold Plasma Wand That Heals (Microjet)⚡

[@PlasmaChannel]

NOTE: Each of the control plates did have thousands of little colonies on them. Every tiny white dot is a colony, not just the larger white circles. The overall growth was less than I would have hoped, but the growth experiment still yielded interesting results!

[@PatRick1981-s1w]

But how is it cold???

[@samsonmbbanda6564]

Am more than thrilled and impressed with your inventions of using plasma, am wonder here is it possible to treat cancer cells with cold plasma?

[@justingould2020]

The thing I found fascinating was that not only did the cold plasma treated area not have growth, but the fact that the effect persisted after treatment. I was expecting the growth on the outer edges to impinge on the treatment zone since the entire plate wasn't treated.

[@bringer-of-change]

It's interesting how it can kill viral entities at the very core. Wonder if you could heavily hydrate someone, put them in a hot room like a dry sauna, and make a sort of wide brush of this cold plasma to kill a virus that would spread by touch and pushed out through sweat and oils.

[@weaponeer]

as a diabetic with the typical diabetic ulsers which will likely end up with the loss of one or both of my feet, I wish the VA hospital (disabled Veteran) had the ability to use or even issue cold plasma wands. I have had one Ulser that is nearly 10 months old and not healing. the cold gas plasma wand may be able to change the future (length) of my legs, but medical progress is always slow (and likely too slow in my case)

I want to build a nitrogen based cold plasma so found your channel. I was first introduced to this in the mid 1990's when my team was trying to create some oxidizing radicals for reduction of certain compounds in diesel exhaust - after treatment of you will. Some VP stepped on our project because he did did not support development of what he called high school science experiments. Well, one scientist suggested a cold plasma to generate the desired radicals and showed us something similar to your device. it was 1/4" OD teflon tubing and at Tee fitting where the gas was introduced to the wire and the HF power supply. A simple little device where, like yours, the wire fell short of the outlet. We used nitrogen for the feed gas which nicely made and not too sensitive to the construction. Like all very cool science demonstrations, I suppose the novelty eventually turns into some outstanding device for improvement of life for all. Thanks for taking the extra time to show what a cold plasma might be useful for, that was the real effort in your work!!! BTW my team did finish some work and launched the first diesel oxidation catalyst in 1996. That VP destroyed my career.

[@BringDHouseDown]

@@tonyromano833 well the very first step in order to allow healing of a wound instead of it being a warzone between your white blood cells and w.e invaders that came from the object that caused the wound in the first place(or contact with the air, ground, or water that isn't salt water), is to sterilize the wound, otherwise no healing takes place, because the cells in charge of doing that would constantly be under attack by foreign bacteria or fungus or w.e else. So wound needs to be sterile as much as possible, at least to a degree that your own immune system(depends on how strong it is) can handle w.e spots you missed. So since this can be used to sterilize, then yes, in a sense this helps heal wounds. But no this doesn't regenerate cells, the only thing I know that does that is stem cells. There are patches of stem cells that are researched, and this foam like thing that you just pour all over an open wound and it will create a biome to protect and heal and connect everything back together where it can and close the wounds where it cannot, based on stem cells as well. But last I checked on that foam thing, which the primary use or intended target is for the military, it was years ago, I do not know where they are at now in their progress.

Very cool that they're actually using/testing these wands. I would think this would be a game changer for minimizing or eliminating scarring and perhaps also help alleviate shock due to trauma, by quickly inducing the healing process vs the 36 to 48 hours after trauma on average for healing to begin.

[@megenberg8]

the lag time is due to the body/mind's response to trauma's shock. cells and systems need to 'reset' - adjust to the environment, and reorient. probably ought to let nature do her part a bit as well. and all vitals need to be seen to and any problems ascertained ASAP.

Clear back in the late 1970s they were having success with electrical stimulation growing back finger tips.

Neat! I managed to get similar results with argon (much cheaper than helium) but it required a small array of needles rather than a single wire as in yours. I didn't check its ability to kill microbes, but there's little reason to think it wouldn't. IIRC it manages to degrade biofilms and rupture non-eukaryotic cell walls (bacteria) while leaving animal cells unscathed.

[@s.y926]

Cool!

[@morgan0]

i’d guess the big difference between bacteria and animal cells here is the bacteria are on their own to some extent, while the animal cells are agglomerated and that reduced surface area lowers the depth that reactive oxygen gets to because dead cells then function as armor. however i could be wrong and animal cells are more resistant

[@zinckensteel]

@@morgan0 Not so much re:population density. Bacteria form dense colonies within biofilms but have vulnerable, simpler cell membranes compared to animals (broadly speaking), which are easily broached if the biofilm can be removed or rendered permeable, but the latter is no easy task. Traditionally speaking, from a medical perspective, mechanical abrasion (i.e. scrubbing) is the last/best defense against bacterial biofilms, rendering treatment of large-area burns an excruciating experience.

Use fungus on your plates the useful application I can see is using it for surface sterilization. Rather than cultivating the stuff we want to avoid sterilization using mushroom mycelium. You can place mycelium culture on the plates. The easiest method is to use liquid culture made with water and clear corn syrup or glucose that is used to make clear frosting. You can boil or PC the liquid substrate and use multi-spire syringe or you can buy liquid culture syringes if you want to waste money. Mushroom mycelium is strong when established but cannot compete with other microorganisms before it is fully colonized. This will give you an idea of where you sterilized the substrate surface of the PDA or MDE.

@@PlasmaChannel Yeah, hard to say. I think that if you avoided showing the creation of the injury itself and just the aftermath you would likely be fine. Could even use sandpaper and rub it a certain amount of times with the same pressure to ensure a consistent result. Wouldn't be as visually disturbing as actual cutting and when viewed under magnification still very interesting. Just a good opportunity to do something "first". Have a good weekend!

I place a white card under or next to the wire, then dump a 100uF at 4KV capacitor across it using a triggered spark gap. The sound it makes is like a large firecracker or gunshot.

When the plasma is present, the flying electrons have enough behind them to break O2 bonds, and the free oxygen atoms that result find regular O2 and react with it. The helium is basically just a medium for this to take place in. It isn't absolutely necessary, but it will take a higher voltage to get a similar corona discharge that creates the ions without it.

From other comments I read, it sounds like different gas mixtures require different electrode densities, voltage adjustments, or both.

@@tomconner5067 I just watched this video again and I noticed him saying helium was selected because it is easily conducts over other glasses. So I wonder what happens if Ionized air is fed into the pipette?

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

That’s beautifully awesome! I wonder what role ozone plays in these experiments. It’s certainly a byproduct of plasma.

[@nesq4104]

Ozone disinfects. But mixed with air and breathing creates harmful compounds.

[@tomconner5067]

I don't believe the helium gives up the radical oxygen atom during the plasma generation, since it's only changing the state of the matter not it's molecular composition. Just my hypothesis, and I'm basing this on part of a single lesson during a fraction of one day in my public school eucation 35+ years ago, when all I had on my mind were girls, music, wrestling, girls muscle cars, and girls. So look into it and let me know if that brain cell is still glitch free or if I need to clear the cache, I slept the whole time every day during that class and still managed an A on the midterm and final exams. No I didn't cheat, my mind somehow retains things I hear when Im asleep! True story.

Got to enjoy the evolutions of your project & learn a touch of details about a topic outside my relam. Thank you

[@blanana_m]

Great build, what if you use air, oxygen, argon, co2 or hydrogen instead of helium? And yes, please make it portable

[@PlasmaChannel]

Argon is the next most used gas.

[@blanana_m]

@@PlasmaChannel Would argon be better to use? I mean it is cheaper and can't escape as easily

[@NathanielHourt]

Cool! A question, though: is there any benefit to the sterilization here versus the ozone sterilization you demonstrated before? "Reactive oxygen species" sounds like ozone to me, but I'm not fluent in chemistry. Is there a difference?

[@PlasmaChannel]

Hi Nathaniel, ozone is a massive component to the "reactive species", however, ozone does not account for the reactive nitrogen species component. You can have ionized oxygen not form into Ozone as well.

[@jurajvariny6034]

Cold plasma only adds an electron to the gas molecules, so instead of splitting oxygen O2 into ozone O3 it creates anions O2-, N2-, H2O-, He- and so on. The ozone is poisonous and the room should be aired after disinfecting with it. But these anions are harmless and they are actually found naturally in fresh air. There are home ionizers available that can make them without visible cold plasma and no need for helium. I am using one at home and it helps with my pollen allergy as the electrical charge pulls dust down (ozone won't do that because it's electrically neutral).

[@NathanielHourt]

It's a common misconception that ozone is toxic; while it is a potent oxidizer, which means that it can break down cells, it would take a ponderous amount of ozone over many, many half lives to cause a healthy person harm. It's great for cleaning air, though!

[@jurajvariny6034]

@@NathanielHourt there's plenty of cases and research of serious acute poisoning from ozone concentration over 1ppm. Which isn't "ponderous" at all.

[@NathanielHourt]

Sure, but if I had a dollar for every study with weak conclusions... Ehh, you see where this is going. As always, be aware of your individual tolerances, but as for me and my familiars, we've never seen ill effects from the so-called dangerous levels of ozone put off by commercial ozone generators, even after hours of exposure. I can't speak for those who have had issues, but I do suggest that there's more to be understood about it than the usual alarm bells would have us assume.

[@en2oh]

what frequency did you eventually use for the pancake generator? (if you're taking a poll, I'd vote "YES" for the hand-held cold plasma wand 😁)

[@en2oh]

Atmospheric cold plasma with air would be great!

[@onecrazywheel]

I work at a hospital as an electrician. In our Engineering Department we have to provide Medical Grade Helium to the Surgery Department. This would be neat if they use helium in this regard as well. I've heard they also use helium to pump organs needed with gas for inflation as well. Cool stuff. Helium tanks also have different output threads as well. Helium tanks in the gift shop and helium tanks in the surgery department have different threads. One is female and the other is male. Makes sense. Great video. God bless 🙏

[@ParkOrbi]

Nice experiment with cold plasma. As for decontamination, wounds, blisters or burns with liquid nitrogen when removing warts or burns with hot objects or liquids. I use a simple, thin slice of half or a third of a clove of garlic, which I change morning and night, and within three days the wound is usually dry and well on its way to healing. There are no red areas that indicate inflammation, the skin is moist and white, and the wound heals incredibly quickly.

[@Fuxy22]

Shit that's unfeasible... helium is just too rare and non-renewable to be used like this especially like this.

[@PlasmaChannel]

Well, helium is totally renewable, it just takes a lot of electricity.

[@Fuxy22]

@@PlasmaChannel "In addition to being rare, helium is (mostly) not a renewable resource. The helium that we have was produced by the radioactive decay of rock, long ago. Over the span of hundreds of millions of years, the gas accumulated and was released by tectonic plate movement, where it found its way into natural gas deposits and as a dissolved gas in groundwater. Once the gas leaks into the atmosphere, it is light enough to escape the Earth's gravitational field so it bleeds off into space, never to return. We may run out of helium within 25-30 years because it's being consumed so freely. " As far as I know we can't produce enough to cover demand...

[@user-kl8lo6rj5i]

Interesting that the effect is so specific for the area that it touches, but it makes sense. Heat would radiate out, which wouldn't happen with cold plasma. Useful if you don't want to disturb the natural flora of the skin around an injury while sterilizing the wound.

You should try a cold plasma antennas pointed at each other with one set at 180 degrees out of phase and the other normal. Then put your plants between the antennas. The results are amazing. Heck one hour between the antenna and you will feel the best you have in years. I love seeing science in action keep it up.

This is amazing. I would totally build one of these right now if i had the helium. Also, those mystery blotches on the last plate are fungal colonies - a couple of airborne spores probably landed in the dish and grew.

Yo, I just came across this, this is super cool, great work my friend. I don't know a ton about science but I thought of a fun application in addition to the practical applications of this. If it is possible to extend the visible beam of plasma outward, one could create a lightsaber reminiscent of the ones made by the hacksmith, except that it is totally safe to touch, and would make a very cool novelty item. All in all, I was very impressed by this video. Rock on 🤘
