Time for a sunday wacky tech rabbit hole. I noticed a short clip on SOME of Randall Carlson being kinda shocked by something, so I had to look it up.

Turns out he was talking about some cold plasma tech, the Thunderstorm Generator, or plasmoid generator, which was demoed at Cosmic Summit 2024 some months ago.

Here's the short version description.

From an SRS podcast where he talks us through the tech and live demo he saw, together with measurements. From this I was lead to Alchemical Science's demo video from the event.

This seems like some pseudo science not yet fully understood, but at the same time it looks like other plasmoid generators are a thing through different disciplines while searching.

Would be nice if this actually works and generates clean oxygen as exhaust, though.

Now, I always like to lookup the other side of stories, but I was struggling to find any recent debunkings from this "wave" (Inventor selling books and demoing invention). Although a lot of debunking/speculation/disbelief is available earlier, before this wave.

I'm looking forward to read how people tries to hack this apart, criticise, replicate, and figure out what's happening.

Have a wacky sunday.

In my own path for questioning everything, Donald Hoffman had this interesting TED talk a decade ago:

Big Think also has great content for basically everything, related video from Lisa Feldman Barrett:

She was also on Huberman's podcast last year
