Plasma Lamp

A desk plasma lamp: a dark glass globe on a pedestal, a hot core and filaments of plasma wandering out to the glass, each a jagged path with a slow meander and a fast crackle that forks near the glass and dips toward or away from you. Put the pointer on the glass, or press it with a finger, and the tendrils nearest that angle swing over on springs.snap and converge onto one shared path, fusing into a single bright braided arc with a flare where it lands; a press gathers two more, and letting go lets them drift back into their wander on springs.drift. The globe is a round toggle button: Enter or Space touches the glass, the arrow keys move the finger round it and in or out, and Escape lets go.
