The Plasma Excitation Desk Lamp (plasma coaster)
The Plasma Excitation Desktop Lamp (Plasma Coaster) is a handcrafted demonstration device designed to showcase one of the most fascinating phenomena in electrical science: wireless energy transfer.
Inspired by the pioneering work of Nikola Tesla, the device utilizes proprietary circuitry and operates at a proprietary frequency developed by Ryan Abrams to generate an electromagnetic field capable of exciting compatible fluorescent, neon, and other gas-discharge lamps without direct electrical connection. The result is a captivating display of electromagnetic excitation in a compact desktop form factor.
For nearly two decades, Ryan Abrams has worked with Tesla coils and high-frequency electrical systems, building hundreds of devices inspired by Tesla's work and demonstrating the remarkable behavior of electricity, resonance, and electromagnetic fields. Throughout those years, one observation remained consistent: while many people recognize Nikola Tesla's name, few realize how profoundly his inventions, patents, and ideas continue to influence the modern world. More than a century after his work, the principles Tesla pioneered remain fundamental to the electrical systems and technologies that power society today.
That desire to share both the science and the history became a central mission of Abrams Lab Tesla Art. The Plasma Excitation Desktop Lamp (Plasma Coaster) was developed as a way to bring a small piece of that experience into homes, offices, workshops, classrooms, and collections. It transforms concepts that are often discussed only in books, documentaries, and scientific demonstrations into something that can be observed firsthand.
Unlike traditional Tesla coil systems, the Plasma Excitation Desktop Lamp (Plasma Coaster) allows users to experience electromagnetic excitation and wireless energy transfer without exposed electrical arcs and without the large size typically associated with Tesla coil equipment. The result is a visually striking conversation piece that sparks curiosity, encourages learning, and provides a tangible connection to the scientific principles that helped shape the modern electrical age.
Every Plasma Excitation Desktop Lamp (Plasma Coaster) is individually assembled and tested by hand by Ryan Abrams, founder and owner of Dynamic Field Research Solutions LLC and Abrams Lab Tesla Art.
