The welder he’s working from in this project uses low-voltage alternating current to drive the welding process, but since a plasma cutter ionizes gas it needs high-voltage direct current.

But plasma actuators don't just release an induced wind. "When applying a high voltage, most is converted into heat and the rest is converted into an induced flow or ionic wind over the actuator ...

Tests by Chinese scientists show that plasma excitation tech can boost performance of high-altitude drones, allowing them to fly longer.

It shares a place with the Van de Graaf generator, with the convenient addition of spectacular plasma rays that grace its spherical surface. High voltage, aesthetically pleasing, mad science ...

Plasma is like gas in that you can't grip or ... a retired engineer from GE named Charles Titus. He was an expert in high-voltage engineering and had become convinced that metal torches, which ...

Moreover, since plasma is not used ... which should show characteristics of highly reduced transmission loss and high-voltage endurance. In addition, this technology is expected to be applicable ...

Plasma is an electrically charged gas where ... Used for achieving fusion (future implementation). High-voltage feedthrough connected to a 5 kV power supply: Allows use in a school environment ...
