plasma source

A plasma source is a device that generates plasma, a state of matter similar to gas but with charged particles—ions and electrons—that give it unique properties. It uses energy, often from electricity or lasers, to ionize a gas, creating plasma. This highly energized environment is used in various applications like welding, sterilization, space propulsion, and manufacturing. Think of it as a controlled way to produce a super-heated, electrically charged gas that can perform specialized functions beyond regular gases.
