This plasma cutter uses an electrode to release a stream of plasma above the nozzle. Shielding gas is any inert gas used in welding to prevent contamination of the welding area from outside gases(Oxygen, Nitrogen, etc.). It can be turned on by sparking the nob. The cutter nozzle is based off the real plasma cutter head diagram. When the shielding gas is turned on the Venturi Effect causes the plasma to move out of the nozzle faster and travel farther.



As usual, feedback and suggestions greatly appreciated. Use what you want with credit.

Elaborate? When shielding is on the plasma is propelled fairly effectively.
