Abstract
A kilovoltmeter capable of indicating potentials in the kilovolt range is disclosed. The device is based on the phenomenon of electroosmosis engendered by a strong electric field.
Claims3
An electroosmotic kilovoltmeter which comprises in combination a means of generating electroosmotic pressure comprising a polar, powdered or sintered dielectric in contact with a polar or non-polar, non-aqueous dielectric liquid, free from all traces of water, which is its own intrinsic high impedence, means for indicating the electroosmotic pressure generated and means for relating said pressure as applied kilovolt potential.
