Agricultural and Environmental Applications of Plasma in Water Generated by Pulsed Power Generator

Water Purification Using Non-thermal Plasma Driven by Blumlein-line Stacked Pulsed Power Generator

A water purification by streamer discharge using a stacked Blumlein line pulsed power generator under the water containing pollutants has been investigated. The pulsed power generator consisted of six stacked Blumlein line to generate high voltage with low charging voltage. The output voltage was applied to a wire electrode to generate streamer discharge in the water. The wire electrode was set...

Pulsed Water Jet Generated by Pulse Multiplication

Original scientific paper First theoretical papers, summarizing the high mechanical energy cumulation when high-speed drops impact on the solid surface as a result of the water hammer effect, have been known since 1960’s. Heymann has demonstrated that pressure maximum during the impact of a spherical drop of a liquid is several times higher than the presupposed maximum for the classical waterha...

Nitrogen Gas Plasma Generated by a Static Induction Thyristor as a Pulsed Power Supply Inactivates Adenovirus

Adenovirus is one of the most important causative agents of iatrogenic infections derived from contaminated medical devices or finger contact. In this study, we investigated whether nitrogen gas plasma, generated by applying a short high-voltage pulse to nitrogen using a static induction thyristor power supply (1.5 kilo pulse per second), exhibited a virucidal effect against adenoviruses. Viral...
