A team of researchers has made significant strides in understanding the mechanisms behind corona discharges at thunderstorm cloud tops, a phenomenon that plays a critical role in the Earth's ...

In his latest video, [Jay Bowles] proposes a novel concept: using the ozone generated by high-voltage corona discharge for rapid and complete hand sterilization. He explains that there’s plenty ...

A sharp conductor on the Van de Graaff generator will emit electrons via corona discharge and prevent arcing to an adjacent grounded tower. A shard of GaAs on a Van de Graaff generator will also ...

IT is known that organic insulation materials deteriorate when, subjected to corona discharges. Although many workers have studied the breakdown of insulation materials under the influence of ...

The corona acts by creating numerous free radicals that mediate chemical reactions The electric discharge that results from the incomplete breakdown of a gas can be put to work as a chemical catalyst.

Corona discharge at frequencies of 15-to-25 KHZ is most effective because of how the electrons oscillate in the gap between the electrodes. Such electrical surface treatment (EST) systems include a ...

Corona treaters and plasma cleaners use several corona technologies. The most common technique discharges high voltage into the air. Typically, 3-D parts are passed through a discharge region between ...
