Abstract

Active Medium of the Electronic Energy Explosion (EEE) in Air initiated by Electric Discharge near Ferrite Surface results in inflammation of Air in the Electric Field with Tension about 1000 V/cm. This Property can be used for inflammation of any big Volume of Air and production of Laser Generation with any big Energy.

Introduction

For the explanation of Electronic Energy Explosion (EEE) in Air initiated by electrical discharge in air near the surface of a ferrite core it was assumed that NO formation close to the ferrite surface results in electrical breakdown in the air at low voltage E=440 V/cm.1,2 The electrical discharge at mentioned voltage results in EEE which causes nitrogen oxidation chain reaction. At these conditions the active zone of EEE propagated from the ferrite surface into the whole volume of electrical field. In the laser experiments3 the volume of EEE active zone contained 20-30cm3. One can expect that the effectiveness of possible applications of EEE for nitric acid production or laser generation2,3 will rise with EEE active zone enhancement. The reachable dimension A of EEE active zone is restricted by the condition A/v<T, where “v” is the propagation velocity of EEE active zone and “T” is the time of capacitors battery discharge. The aim of the present investigation was the experimental verification of EEE active zone transfer possibility from one discharge gap to another and evaluation of the parameter “v”.

Methods

The diagram of electrical connections can be found on the (Figure 2). EEE were video recorded using digital camera Sony DSC-650.

Results of experiments

The described device makes it possible to observe the EEE active zone transfer from the ferrite surface to the discharge gap of fourth pair of electrodes (Figure 1). In case the side covers (7 on Figure 1) preventing the plasma flying away in side directions are removed from the device, the transfer of inflammation disappears. The distance between two adjacent pairs of electrodes is crucial for inflammation transfer. There is shown on the Fig.1 that the lower edge of electrodes of the second pair is positioned lower then the upper edge of electrodes of the first pair. If the second pair of electrodes would be positioned 10 mm upper, the inflammation transfer from the first discharge gap to the second would disappear. (Figure 3) (Figure 4) enable one to compare radiation intensities when only one pair of electrodes is operating (Figure 1) and when 4 pairs operate. So it is established that the EEE active zone possesses the property of propagation in the electricfield with tension about 1000 V/cm. On the conditions of the experiment (Figure 4) the EEE active zone has transferred approximately at 10 cm. For the evaluation of the velocity of propagation let us take into account that the electrodes width is 25 mm., and the discharge time of one capacitors battery is about 2 milliseconds as it can be seen at the oscillogram of discharge current.1 From this it follows that

Discussion

According to the chemical kinetic model of nitrogen oxidation chain reaction4 it can be stated for the chain branching factor: φ=k*[NO] where k- is a rate constant for the reaction

Therefore the transfer of NO molecules from the EEE active zone into adjacent volume makes possible the air inflammation in that volume. But the transferred NO concentration should be enough big and the presence of electric field is obligatory. The main conclusion is: the EEE active zone propagation in the electric fields with tension about 1000 V/сm is established fact. By using a voltage source with output tension 100 kV with electrodes positioned at the distance about 100 cm it is possible to achieve the mentioned above electric tension in the volume about 1m3. EEE in such volume makes possible to enhance the laser generation intensity to very big value.
