::I mant that the amount of material located at the end of a blowtorch possesses a very small mass. That there exists, at the end of a blowtorch, a very small amount of particles at any given time during it's use. And as far as the plasma globes, not much of the gas inside was energized; not enough at one time to melt the glass anyway. In the plasma sword ''all'' of the gas is exited to a very high degree: high enough to melt titanium! And I believe you are correct: the plasma sword can only do the damage it does because it is focused, condensed. But I believe that you are inncorrect in stating that the plasma is essentially free to move about as it wishes; laws of physics dictate that without an outside force the plasma would all dissapate rapidly into the air. The only way to prevent dispersion is to tightly control the volume that the plasma is able to inhabit. That the sword only loses energy when it comes into contact with fairly dense matter is, I believe, proof that the plasma is ''highly'' contained and isolated. The behavior of matter is to spread out as far as it is able, not to condense; not without another force acting on it at any rate. --[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 22:55, 28 April 2011 (EDT) | ::I mant that the amount of material located at the end of a blowtorch possesses a very small mass.

:That's not really correct, the plasma I created was at 4000 C, hot enough to vapourise the graphite electrodes during opperation. | |||
:The plasma dissapating is not my idea, take 1''s'' hydrogen orbital as an example. Normally th size of the isosurface represents the where the electrons can be found 75% of the time. The 100% isosurfave for the 1''s'' orbital has an infinite radius so it cannot be represented. This is also true for the plasma sword - most of the plasma can be found following the strongest area of the magnetic field. Some of the plasma strays to far from the strongest part of the magnetic field and recombines and leaks away. It is like steam comming of a boiling pot of water.
