“Genesis” Continuum Series Plasma Globe
We’re Back! Status of U.S. Import Charges
When the US $800 “De Minimis” exemption ended on August 29th, we stopped sales to the US in order to save our customers a near doubling of the globe's cost due to tariffs & taxes.
We have been busy modifying our globes so that they now qualify as Made in Canada. All new Canadian electronics in all globes, plus new wood bases for our Professional Globes make them tax and duty free into the US. There are still Customs entry fees that have to be paid and we are increasing our prices modestly to help with those fees. However, we will also be absorbing some of those costs ourselves. What you pay on our site will be the final total price to you. There will be no other fees upon delivery.

About Our “Genesis Continuum Series” Plasma Globe
This is the newest series of our extremely popular “Genesis” globe. This series will be outfitted with a brass plaque identifying the globe as “Genesis Continuum Series.” This plasma effect is also available for a discount with our 12-inch Legacy Wooden Base.
The “Genesis” Plasma Globe features green plasma lightning with reddish-orange tips, emanating from a red electrode. At low power, reddish-orange circles appear on the center electrode with green spikes drifting outward from their centers. These vibrant spikes end with reddish-orange tips. As the power is increased, the spikes lengthen into multi-shaded tendrils that are green when they leave the red circle but gradually gain a light purple tinge before abruptly changing back to reddish-orange at the tips.
Still in the lower 1/3 of the power range these intensely-colored tendrils do a slow spidery dance. Increasing the power sends the tendrils out towards the globe wall and they become very energetic, creating large splashes of reddish energy as the electrons smash against the glass. At the highest power setting some of the green streamers change color to a vivid purplish white and add to the riot of color. At this point the globe effects are very fast paced and show distinct red, green, purple and white colors with many shades in between. A hand place on the globe surface will attract an intensely-white streamer from the center electrode that arcs across the finger tips highlighting each point of contact in a display of reddish white energy. This lightning like streamer is highly sustained and forms undulating white loops in the midst of the ongoing red, green and purple energy explosion. The overall effect is truly dramatic.

⚠️ Important Notes ⚠️
All of the pictures and videos of our plasma effects were taken in near darkness. The descriptions of the effects are based on observations of the globes in the same near darkness. Just as the Northern Lights cannot be seen during the day, our globe’s effects are best viewed in a darkened environment. Increasing levels of ambient light will wash out the effect colors until they almost disappear under full sunlight.
Please be aware that no two plasma globes are exactly alike, and there may be variations in color and effect from globe to globe. We test and compare over a dozen globes before selecting the globe to be used as the best overall example of the series. We make every effort to photograph and present our globes as accurately as possible, but Videos and Photos on this website should be used solely as a guide to what a product should look like, not as an exact representation. Rest assured your plasma globe will be unique and awesome!
Our plasma globes are made from temperature-hardened, laboratory-strength blown glass. Because the glass is hand blown, it is normal for it to have some imperfections. Upon close inspection, you may find small bubbles in the glass or minor scuffs. These imperfections will be completely invisible under normal operating conditions (i.e. a darkened room).

The Ultimate Plasma Globe
Our “Museum Series” Plasma Globe lineup has gotten a major upgrade!
Introducing
The All-New “Continuum Series”
The Aurora Plasma Design flagship product for over 10 years, our 15-inch “Museum Series” globe has received a series of upgrades to make it better than ever! With our new “Continuum Series,” the plasma globe body has been completely redesigned with a number of improvements.
Stylish, Black Wood Base
We’ve always wanted to make a globe with a black base, but all our attempts have inevitably resulted in the wood grain disappearing, making the base appear to be made from plastic. We finally figured it out though! Our new bases are black “ebonized” ash, which retains the wood grain while giving that sought-after black color that so many people have asked us for.
Premium Controls
Our Continuum Series globes have replaced the previous plastic knobs with luxurious machined aluminum knobs, the kind you might see on high end audio equipment. Paired with these knobs is a new high quality carbon potentiometer, which provides a buttery smooth feel and precise control over the plasma display.
We’ve also added a separate on/off switch with a built-in, dimmed LED indicator. The separate power switch makes ignition of the plasma gasses much more reliable, especially with our more power-hungry globes like “Emerald Fury” and “Promethean Fire.”
12" Continuum Series Globe
For the first time ever, we are offering a 12-inch version of our Professional Plasma Globes! Initially available in “Genesis” style, with “Promethean Fire” coming soon, and more styles coming in the future!
The Same Dazzling Effects
“Continuum Series” globes have the same effects that are proven and loved by our many customers. We are initally offering the 15-inch Continuum Series in “Genesis” and “Emerald Fury” styles, with “Promethean Fire” coming soon.
One Final Touch
We have always considered the controls to be on the back side of the globe, but many customers like having the controls on the front, and having the power input in the same place was an inconvenience. To solve this, we have now moved the power receptacle to the underside of the globe, allowing you to position the globe however your want without the cord getting in your way!
Some of the reviews shown are from related products the merchant grouped with this one.

Magnificent, memorable, and mesmerizing! The Continuum globe is my favorite combination of color and movement in any plasma globe I have ever seen. On low power setting it looks like an exotic creature from another world seeking to test its container—but when touched breaks into a ballet of color and movement like a midsummer fireworks display. A science fiction writer one described a plasma globe with this mixture in it as “The Most Fabulous Object in the World”. He was right.. No other kinetic work of art responds like this—or behaves like an unearthly flower that opens when touched--or responds like a living creature—seeking to touch—and to be touched. Like the “Companion” from an original Star Trek episode-- It is not something you observe—it is a performance that invites you to become part of the performance.

I spent an hour just taking in the reflections and refractions of other hanging lightings against the globe’s sphere(notice the smiley face;) and then after turning it on I was inspired to learn even more about the science within it. This purchase is seriously worth more than I paid, in my opinion, for the beauty it radiates. It arrived from a company that had it upside down with the “this side up” obvious visible so I was worried of the condition as it also had “fragile” and so many other warnings so thoughtfully plastered all over the box. From Canada to East Coast, US with handling unknown and it was so safely packaged that not even planes, trains, autos and “bubba’s smash delivery service” (no fault of Aurora) did not damage it. Many thanks, gratitude and Love to you all at Aurora Plasma Design’s.

The plasma globe is something I have always wanted to own. When I found the Continuum Genesis 🔮 I knew it was the one. It far exceeded my expectations. I just love to sit and be in it's presence. The colours are wonderful and are identical to the videos on the website. It is worth the price. I purchased the 15" version. I was thrilled to see the brass plaque indicating it's production number.

The students in class and myself are blown away by the 15 inch Genesis Globe. Mesmerizing and fun. Very happy with this purchase.

I purchased the Genesis classic 12” model and it was worth EVERY penny. I’ve owned other plasma globes and similar devices in the past, but they pale in comparison to this one in terms of size, color, effects, and quality. I hesitated for years to get one and wish now I hadn’t. Don’t wait, get it. You won’t regret it.

It took me a year to get this globe. I must say it was WELL worth it! I made the mistake of ordering the 15" globe. People, it's just too big, hahaha. It's beautiful, I definitely recommend this company and its products. Thank you all, Bob.

If you’re on the fence about buying this..don’t hesitate, jump off and do it!! The globe is absolutely beautiful, clear glass, and wonderful effects.
Packaging was second to none, so well packaged, it took me a good while to unbox it.
Long short…but one! Hell, I bought another 15” globe without hesitation

I’ve been lusting after these beautiful globes for the last several years and was overjoyed to receive one for Christmas. The colors, the quality of the build, everything about them is amazing. You won’t regret this purchase.

an affordable solution to own Tesla technology with lots of colors and completely contained within solid lab glass. They are reliable, quiet, and serene... and available in museum sizes..
I am a person who has always appreciated art that also works with energy and technology. Since I have a lot of interests, frequently my artistic side gets displaced. I was surfing the internet a few weeks ago and landed on Aurora's site using key words I typically use to describe something like this...and discovered Aurora's web pictures/videos of their plasma globes. Their Genesis Globe (on my TV room table) has a Verdant Aurora green and orange well defined tendril tips... purple can be activated also. I've seen similar in the Boston Museum of Science collection in this size and these globes either compare or exceed the build quality and color performance. Available energy stream speed of movements can be dialed with a great deal of control. These are very durable although the packaging was also impressive. There are shipping and follow up emails/confirmations for shipping reminders etc... after I placed the order. I would strongly recommend watching the videos and let one choose you.

Everything is absolutely perfect!! Gorgeous colors!

The Genesis is a fascinating and colorful globe. It has it's own personality with electrifying red, green and blue colors. Another great one from Aurora Plasma Design!

Plasma globes by Aurora Plasma Design are the most technically advanced and beautifully designed plasma globes on the market. True works of art designed by artisans who have a true love of plasma physics.
The purchase of the 15" Genesis Continuum Series Plasma Globe was a dream come true. I first saw a large, possibly glass plasma globe at a biochemistry conference in California and always wanted one but could not find one that met my criteria. On the market were only cheap plastic toy globes. I came across Aurora Plasma Design and instantly knew I found what I was looking for. Make no mistake, if you want a quality, architecturally designed plasma globe, look no further.
Impressions: First off, when you unpack the plasma globe you realize what massive is ! This plasma globe will be the focal point of any room that it is displayed in.
The ebonized base is very stylish. The advanced controls within the base have a very good feel and gives precise control over power. The Blue LED on/off switch is an added feature that speaks of quality from a company that only sells the best and most affordable plasma globe on the market. A true work of art.
The colors eminating from the Tesla coil are all engaging. Green filiments/tendrils tipped in reddish-orange shoot out and as power is increased, activity follows and blue colors are seen as well as white filiments when one touches the globe. These colors are due to the rare gas mixture.
Their plasma globes are not toys but museum quality scientific instruments and should be respected as such.
In a nutshell : If you desire to have a high quality, beautifully designed plasma globe that will impress all that see it and speaks of your ability to have only the best, Aurora Plasma Design is the company to go to. Jerry and his technical staff have done all the hard research and work. All you have to do is buy and enjoy. Quantity is limited so..act sooner than later.

You don't realize how big it is until you get it in person. Here's a video. Not enough people post them on here. Enjoy!

It came broken twice. Not sure what’s going on there but I payed a g ball and I’m almost a month without being able to enjoy this thing. They need to assemble their products better and make sure things are glued properly and secured.

Perfect, couldn’t be happier.

The 12" Legacy "Genesis" model I ordered is the most incredible plasma globe I've ever had the pleasure to experience in person. And that's the small one! The interplay of electricity and color is mesmerizing, and the greens and blues from what I assume is a fairly high concentration of xenon are stunning. I've never seen a plasma lamp with such a variety of colors before.
Already ordered several more, both for myself (had to see a 15" "Phoenix Rising" with its stark neon red and krypton white) and as gifts. Highly recommended!

Coolest purchase ever. I love it

I got the 12" Legacy Genesis globe, and there aren't enough stars to convey my satisfaction with my purchase. It is simply magical to see, and each power level has its own delights. I had some technical questions, which were answered promptly and knowledgeably.
