"Stealth" Plasma Antennas
eldavojohn writes "There's a new antenna that consists of plasma and essentially vanishes when you turn it off. While it may seem to not have many uses in the commercial world, it is very important to military personnel who risk detection or for anybody wishing to avoid signal jamming."
(Sorry ham radio nerd humor.)
Disguise it as a stealth-plasma flagpole and proudly fly a red-white-and-blue flaming sheet-o-plasma flag! Has the added advantage of shocking the hell out of any pot-smoking hippies who try to burn it!
Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and he'll say "WHERE'S MY FISH, YOU IDIOT?"
Rosie O'Donnell much?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Everyone should go out an buy a new plasma antenna before they switch on Feb 17, 2009. After that, your old metal ones will have to have an adapter to work.
Strawberry...or possibly grape
Raspberry!
There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry: Lone Starr!
The plasma is contained in a glass, neon light, like tube.
I was picturing a 30-40' foot long spear of flaming hot plasma death that you could turn on your enemies to turn them into smouldering piles of charcoal....and radio in to mom at the same time!!!
Everyone who parks their car in NYC and other hostile environments wants an antenna that vanishes when you turn it off. Plasma probably wouldn't jam after a year of use like a retractable antenna, and might even clean the snow off your car, including the pile burying you from the street plows.
