Abstract
A process whereby a one sided electrode is allowed to discharge to essentially its own potential field is presented. The process may be utilized for joining by discharging particles as well as for spot welding or other heating purposes. Examples of several uses are given and the electrical diagram for such a discharger is also shown.
Claims7
A method for generating a high temperature, high potential, one sided discharge point comprising:
- a coherent high frequency signal in a circuit comprising of capacitors and inductors;
- and at least one freely protruding electrical wire or rod to said circuit;
- a free discharge space located at a maximum voltage, low current point of said wire or rod;
- and transmitting said high frequency signal from said maximum voltage, low current point of said wire or rod, while maintaining said electrode and said surrounding regions at a similar electrical potential, and while maintaining said electrode and any space against which the discharge may be directed, electrically insulated from ground;
- whereby such discharge is essentially one sided.
