About the conditions of volumetric combustion of the gas discharge with water-solution cathode in an extended discharge gap at atmospheric pressure

Abstract

A gas discharge between liquid electrolyte cathode and copper anode was studied experimentally. Water solutions of sodium chloride were used as liquid electrolyte. The discharge was ignited in an open air atmosphere in the current range of 2-5 A at distances of 3-18 cm between the electrodes. The conditions for the formation of volumetric plasma column in discharge gap were revealed.
