THE NATURE OF ELECTRIC DISCHARGE

Electric discharge during electrosurgery

Electric discharge utilized for electrosurgery is studied by means of a recently developed method for the diagnostics of small-size atmospheric plasma objects based on Rayleigh scattering of microwaves on the plasma volume. Evolution of the plasma parameters in the near-electrode sheaths and in the positive column is measured and analyzed. It is found that the electrosurgical system produces a ...

On the Nature of the Electric Charge

The geometry of the elementary charge is studied in the framework of the concept of space considered as a tessellation lattice (’tessellattice’), which has recently been developed by M. Bounias and the author. The descriptive-geometric sense of the electric and magnetic fields and their carriers – photons – is analyzed. The notion of the scalar and vector potentials of a charged particle and th...

Electric Discharge Sintering: A Mathematical Model

In this paper we mathematically model the densification of metallic powders and the sintering of ceramic powders by electric discharge. The ordinary and partial differential equations governing these processes are the same with the exception of the effective electrical conductivity. This function is a monotonically decreasing (increasing) function of temperature for the metallic (ceramic) powde...
