Spark discharge in conductive liquid with microbubbles

Aerosol Generation by Spark Discharge*

An aerosol generator producing particles of any desired mobility, equivalent radius, and conducting material has been developed. Particles are formed by electrode atomization in a spark discharge. A high yield of charged particles enables generation of high concentration (> 10’ cmm3) monodisperse aerosols using electrostatic classification. In order to obtain nonagglomerated particles, the aero...

Entry Form ArcSafe ® with Pulsed Arrested Spark Discharge

Spark discharge coupled laser multicharged ion source.

A spark discharge is coupled to a laser multicharged ion source to enhance ion generation. The laser plasma triggers a spark discharge with electrodes located in front of the ablated target. For an aluminum target, the spark discharge results in significant enhancement in the generation of multicharged ions along with higher charge states than observed with the laser source alone. When a Nd:YAG...

The Miller volcanic spark discharge experiment.

Miller's 1950s experiments used, besides the apparatus known in textbooks, one that generated a hot water mist in the spark flask, simulating a water vapor-rich volcanic eruption. We found the original extracts of this experiment in Miller's material and reanalyzed them. The volcanic apparatus produced a wider variety of amino acids than the classic one. Release of reduced gases in volcanic eru...

Miller–Urey Spark‐Discharge Experiments in the Deuterium World

We designed and conducted a series of primordial-soup Miller-Urey style experiments with deuterated gases and reagents to compare the spark-discharge products of a "deuterated world" with the standard reaction in the "hydrogenated world". While the deuteration of the system has little effect on the distribution of amino acid products, significant differences are seen in other regions of the pro...
