I speak two languages, and both of those with plenty of mistakes. Judging by your name, you will like this. I built it years ago. I shall return to these daft experiments one day.
Energetic ions are attracted towards the central electrode, and when they hit that graphite stick that I put in the centre, you see a wonderful mini-explosion from the collision. This all took place in a vacuum chamber at high voltages (ZVS circuit is the driver). The best view of it is at roughly 50 seconds into the video.
