Welcome to Ionic Fire

This is my personal site dedicated to electronics, computers, high voltage, and anything else that uses electrons to do amazing things.

This site has an array of different projects I’ve done or am current working on.  It also has a few links in the resources section, of which I’ve found useful along my travels.

The name IonicFire is obviously a made up compound word of “ionic” and “fire”.  Ionic is something’s classification if it is pertaining to charge (ie. a positive or negative charge).  When something is ionized, it basically means that the positive ions and the negative electrons split.  What the meaning to this site is, if a high enough voltage is applied across something (such as air), the air will ionize in a brilliant display of plasma.  Lightning is an amazing example of this. 

“Fire” comes from my unique interest in fire.  Through the years, I’ve become more and more interested with the amazing power of fire.  However, also through the years, I’ve learned to respect a flame’s power and I take the utmost precautions when handling fire (and plasma).

There is a distinct beauty to plasma and fire, but with the beauty comes a wrathful, lethal side.  Quite a few projects I’ve done involve one or the other, and should not be attempted by anyone.  While that is very hypocritical for me to say, it is the only way for anyone to be completely safe.  It will only take one mistake by you or your friends to kill someone, even if precautions are taken.

With that said, please browse my site and see if there’s anything to learn.  If there’s anything you would like to see or if you would like to make any comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
