Lumin Disk
by adminThe Lumin Disk and its belt buckle cousin are very closely related to the classic Plasma Globe. The big difference is that the plasma ’streams’ are on a flat disk as opposed to inside a glass globe. This produces a different effect than the Plasma Globe as can be seen in the following video:
Lumin Disks (sometimes called Lumidisks) have seen a lot of use in Science Fictions movies & TV . In fact they are something of an inside joke as having replaced the classic Jacob’s Ladder from older science fiction films.
Lumin disks have also had a bit of a breakthrough in their ability to be powered with batteries. Times were they would need to be plugged into the wall. Now the larger Lumin Disk has the option of being battery powered or plugged into the wall. The belt buckle version is battery powered as you wouldn’t want an electrical cord tying your belt to the wall.
