    Comparison of brush discharge (left) and corona discharges (right) from a Tesla coil Closeup of a Tesla coil brush discharge, showing its filamentous nature. A brush discharge is an electrical disruptive discharge similar to a corona discharge that takes place at an electrode with a high voltage applied to it, embedded in a nonconducting fluid ...

    Non-incendive n Equipment is non-incendive or non-sparking. A special standard for instrumentation is IEC/EN 60079–27, describing requirements for Fieldbus Non-Incendive Concept (FNICO) (zone 2) (This special standard has been withdrawn, and has been partially replaced by: IEC/EN60079-11:2011 and IEC/EN60079-25:2010) [9] IEC/EN 60079-15

  4. Intrinsic safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_safety

    In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost over other protection methods. Areas with dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or dust are found in applications such as petrochemical refineries and mines.

    Some examples are: Atmospheric electricity; Biefeld–Brown effect — Thought by the person who coined the name, Thomas Townsend Brown, to be an anti-gravity effect, it is generally attributed to electrohydrodynamics (EHD) or sometimes electro-fluid-dynamics, a counterpart to the well-known magneto-hydrodynamics.

  7. Electric arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc

    When an inductive circuit is switched off, the current cannot instantaneously jump to zero: a transient arc will be formed across the separating contacts. Switching devices susceptible to arcing are normally designed to contain and extinguish an arc, and snubber circuits can supply a path for transient currents, preventing arcing. If a circuit ...

    The EBW was invented by Luis Alvarez and Lawrence Johnston for the Fat Man–type bombs of the Manhattan Project, during their work in Los Alamos National Laboratory.The Fat Man Model 1773 EBW detonators used an unusual, high reliability detonator system with two EBW "horns" attached to a single booster charge, which then fired each of the 32 explosive lens units.
