Plasma System Features Operating Principle: The plasma is stabilized by a magnetic field, creating a barrier with a temperature of 3000°C Side Effect: When overloaded, it emits an orange glow visible to the naked eye Risks: – Contact with the barrier causes third-degree burns – Overheating can trigger a chain reaction Your note: The plasma pulsates in time with its breathing—a unique feature not intended by the designers
