(PhysOrg.com) -- A Seattle group of students have created a plasma speaker prototype model that theyre offering to the world as a kit where you, too, can have a plasma speaker that uses an electric arc to vibrate air. Pretty rad, cool, awesome, are the students words to describe their effort. Pretty impressive are the words of people who have donated money to back their project. The project is about making it easy for people to assemble a plasma speaker, through kits with a PCB and components. StudentRND is the group. Its mission is to inspire students to learn more about science and technology. Its workspace has been a summer watering hole for students working on projects. The plasma speaker kit has been a showcase effort.
