PRIVATE FIELD NOTES, Dr. A. F. Kingi, date unknown.
As we continue to explore viable energy solutions in the increasingly unstable environment that is the Zone, we have begun testing the first handheld plasma containment devices. In a Zone plagued with radiation, instability, electromagnetic interference and many as yet unexplained phenomena, any infrastructure created for energy transmission has proven to be all but useless.
Hence our investigations into the potential of charged and even magnetized plasma, studying both the conductive and capacitive qualities of the samples we have contained. Plasma would likely be far more efficient than the diesel and gasoline we've been forced to haul from place to place and, if the latest research from the LIM Tech team is to be believed, we may soon have a way to make it just as portable.
At present, we await updates from Dr. Essid, as she finalizes her report on Birkeland currents. ARDA management are keen for us to test this technology in the field as soon as possible, but we don't believe it is yet ready. They are, as ever, simply trying to rush research and save money.

Synopsis
Plasma Generators spawn in all biomes, but are most common in the Damp Forest. They spawn powering ARDA trailers, towers, and Spark Tower anomalies. When broken with an Impact Hammer or Magnetic Hammer, they drop between 2 and 4 plasma, up to 2 copper wire, and many glass shards.
