Lightning Plasma
Surge Protectors, The Best Way To Keep Your Electronics Safe
Nowadays, people are very dependent on electronics - in our daily lives, our jobs, and our households. Many electronics are expensive: computers, laptops, televisions (especially plasma or hi def TV's), and kitchen appliances. To make the most of these electronics, we have to protect them so they continue to function.
You have to do more for your electronics than just storing them in a safe, dry place. Electronic devices are susceptible to electrical fluctuations from things like lightning strikes, power outages, and other failures in the power grid. If you want to use your computer, TV, and other devices as long as possible, you should keep them safe from these mishaps. Otherwise your devices could have a short circuit and cause expensive damage to the products themselves, potentially destroying sensitive circuitry. At the very worst, devices can start fires that could spread to your household and burn down your house. It's a worst-case scenario, but it is a very real possibility.
Surge protectors can protect any of your electronic devices from fluctuations. These fluctuations can occur due to lightning strikes (near or far), power surges in your house's wiring, and other mishaps in the electrical power grid. A surge protector can keep any device safe. And most surge protectors come with not only warranties, but also insurance that covers equipment failure for any device connected to the surge protector if an outage or surge occurs and your device is damaged.
This protector can be used for a long span of time - usually years of constant use. It has a light indicator that will tell any owners if it needs to be replaced. The light will die out if the surge protector needs to be replaced.
With surge protectors, you are not just protecting your devices but also keeping your home safe from electrical fires caused by a malfunctioning appliance. All electronic devices can be run through this protector hassle free so you can keep your peace of mind intact whether you're away at the office, traveling, or on extended vacations.
With its best feature - no monitoring, just plug in and go - you can rest assured that all your electronic devices plugged into a surge protector are out of danger.
It's a simple purchase that provides you with assurance that your electronics (and investments!) will remain safe. Who wants to buy a new TV because lightning struck your power lines? No one! For a few dollars, you can provide insurance against destruction of your most valued possessions. Safeguard your electronics by using a surge protector - and save your peace of mind, too!

What is one form of Plasma and explain why it would be plasma.?
(other than lightning and a star)
As I understand it, any hot gas which is ionized is a plasma. A neon lamp is a good example. These are small bulbs with two electrodes in a glass envelope containing neon gas. As you apply an electrical potential to the electrodes, eventually electrons start to flow from one electrode to the other. As the electrons approach the other electrode, they impinge on the neon atoms, ionizing them causing the orange glow you see. The glow is caused by electrons falling back into the original shell they came from. If I use DC, only one electrode glows. If I use AC, then both electrodes will glow as the current flow alternately shifts direction. By the way, argon added changes the color from orange to purple..
