Part 4/6:
As the experiment proceeds, the researchers notice the plasma's interaction with the tank’s components. They highlight instances of material “eating,” where the plasma appears to clean or etch away grime and residues from surfaces within the chamber. The description of the plasma's "hiding" behavior—where it shifts spots and appears to be selective about its surroundings—is particularly captivating.
Further experimentation with gases like hydrogen and carbon fluoride showcases the transformational potential of plasma to modify chemical structures. The effects of these gases are spectacular; introducing hydrogen results in significant changes in visual dynamics, and the experimenters delight in the complex reactions occurring within the confines of the tank.
