Greg Leyh, a plasma enthusiast known for building massive Tesla coils, has spent 30 years developing a formidable plasma cannon that fires 180,000 volts up to 35 feet. His work blends scientific innovation with a flair for the dramatic, as he tinkers with the creation of plasma—an extreme and powerful state of matter. Leyh's endeavors, often likened to those of a mad scientist, highlight both the fascinating and hazardous potential of plasma, reminiscent of high-energy physics experiments conducted around the world, such as those at the EAST nuclear fusion reactor in China.
"Loading plasma into a cannon so that a precisely aimed bolt of it can be fired directly into the serenely smiling face of a blogger is, at least in theory, one of the great feats of genius in human history."
"Plasma is what forks out of a thunderstorm with annihilating fury and chases every living thing for miles around under cover."
