[Ed Phillips]

    What about cleanliness of plastic  globes such as the cheapie I 
bought from Radio Shack?  At least 10 years old and still looks "as good 
as new".

1 atmosphere = 760 Torr = 760 mmHg

"Most plasma spheres operate in the range of 5,500 to 7000 microns.  Air
being 7600 microns (no vacuum at all).

I use xenon, argon, helium, krpton in my mixtures.

The container cleaning is the problem issue.  You have to bake it at high
temp for 24 hrs before filling.  Also, use a 60 kV discharge in Argon gas to
microscopically "clean" all the residuals off the interior walls.  Failing
to take this step can result in a fuzzy ball after a few months as the
plasma dislodges molecules adhering to the glass internal walls.
