Location: First Floor This exhibit is suitable for: All Fun with Vacuums and Plasmas American Vacuum Society During our presentations, everybody can learn more about vacuums and plasmas. No, we don’t show fancy vacuum cleaners here. Vacuum is simply a volume without any air. Many industrial processes nowadays require such empty volumes, and so do plasmas. Never seen a plasma before? No problem, we will show what these strange terms really mean, and what kind of fun things you can do with them.
