I thought this video was pretty good on the subject. Also this is how we know what the sun is "mostly" made of. By using one of these light spectrometer things.
No one is wanting to create fusion energy this way, but I guess there is a potential in fabricating stuff with this technique.
It's pretty mundane. I did this 20 years ago in college. There are a bunch of interesting papers on how/why this happens. There was an old youtube video where someone adds a match and jar too in order to see how long the plasma can persist.
Plasma is interesting, but for plasma to be useful in a reactor, you need a continual sustained reaction. That's the idea behind fusion. The ITER is an European reactor that's experimenting in this space and there was a Japanese one that had some tests last year. They're all "Tokamak" based reactors and none are close to being production ready.
Even if a fusion reactor becomes self sustainable, the fuel sources (Helium-3, Tritium, etc.) are incredibly difficult to produce. Like self driving cars, it's a tech that's dead long before it started, and people keep pumping the corpse with money hoping it will live.
That's pretty wild. Imagine what a bunch would look like.

Does this give us some insight into a new way of making a plasma? Or is this more mundane than I realize?

Came across this video about what would happen if the earth would stop spinning. Neat video.
