The Q2D kit from Classic Connectors transforms traditional quadrant clamps into permanent, high-temperature deadends for ACSS ...

Corona Discharge: The ionisation of the surrounding air in the vicinity of a high-voltage conductor when the local electric field exceeds a critical threshold. Audible Noise: ...

MIT scientists think the corona discharge known as "St. Elmo's fire" could help reduce the risk of aircraft being struck by lightning during thunderstorms.

MIT scientists have found that wind enhances St. Elmo's Fire on the ground, but tames it in the air. The "corona discharge" skims harmlessly over airplanes, trees, and tall buildings. A controlled ...

The concept of the corona-discharge ozone generator is pretty straightforward — a high-voltage AC potential is presented over a large surface area, such that any O 2 in the vicinity has the ...

In a process similar to heated diode detectors, corona discharge detectors also react to a change in current flow from ionized gases. However, they pull sample air through an electrical field around ...
