<i>We rarely encounter natural plasma, unless we’re lucky enough to see the Northern lights, or if we look at the Sun through a special filter, or if we poke our head out the window during a lightning storm, as I liked to do when I was a kid.</i><p>Right. Anyone who ever struck a match has produced a natural plasma right then and there. Neon lights and plasma [!] TVs are pretty common this side of the Atlantic. A fun way to create a microwave plasma is to microwave half a grape [1]. An even more fun way is to leave a fork in the microwave oven.<p>[1] <a href="https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/37836/why-do-grapes-in-a-microwave-oven-produce-plasma" rel="nofollow">https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/37836/why-do-gra...</a>
So what about the Russian Avantgarde hypersonic warhead that should fly covered in a plasma fireball? Do you guys care about this stuff? Is it even feasible?
