"Burns In" Using a Plasma Arc -- Provides Hours Of Creative and Profitable Entertainment!
This interesting project allows the user to burn precise and very fine lines into paper, cloth, wood, plastic or most other non-metallic materials. The burning mechanism utilizes an electrical plasma produced by a high frequency discharge that forms at the emitting pin of the pen. Power is by built in batteries or an external 12 vdc wall adapter transformer. Once the user becomes familiar with operation, many designs requiring precise engraving will be at his finger tips.
The device is shown built in a tubular enclosure of 6 x 1.5 inches od. that encloses the batteries and all electronics. The etching section is a pen-sized stylus connected by a length of flexible wire.
