Infrared emission spectroscopy of atmospheric-pressure ball plasmoids

Electrical Properties of Reversed-Polarity Ball Plasmoid Discharges

“…Towards the end of the discharge (∼300 ms), it appears as though an autonomous plasmoid exists without power input from the electrode. The images contained in Figure 2 are similar to results that we have reported previously [10,11].…”

“…Ball plasmoids are generated by a pulsed discharge over the surface of an electrolyte (Figure 1) [10,11]. A Glassman EK Series high-voltage DC power supply is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor (873 µF, Maxwell); typical discharge potentials are set between 5000-8000 V (DC).…”

“…Recently, several publications have described the generation and analysis of ball plasmoid discharges [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Ball plasmoids are uniquely long-lived at atmospheric pressure and are generated via a pulse of stored energy from a capacitor bank over the surface of an electrolyte.…”

“…References [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] describe the production of ball plasmoids from a specific electrode polarity. The typical configuration for ball plasmoid discharges utilizes the central electrode as the cathode, while the submerged ring electrode serves as the anode.…”

Исследование Величины И Механизма Образования Заряда Атмосферного Плазмоида

“…Электродные процессы в этих разрядах отличаются, поэтому не стоит ожидать, что свойства этих двух плазмоидов (далееплазмоиды типа A и B соответственно) будут полностью совпадать. Полярность типа A применяли в работах [5][6][7][8][9][18][19][20][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], в работах [35][36][37][38] применяли полярность типа B.…”
