Investigations and Experiments on Delaying Streamer Air Terminal
نویسنده
چکیده
The study is concentrated on the different possible protection systems for lightning and the war of Lightning Rods between scientists and sales of rods are explained. Two experimental tests (in high voltage Laboratory) were made to give the answers if delaying streamer air terminal is effective than franklin rod or not. A breakdown voltage for different air gaps are measured and compared between franklin rod and delaying streamer air terminal. Another experimental test to reach the effective number of dissipation point in delaying streamer air terminal flashover voltage. Two empirical equations are developed for the air gap breakdown voltage for franklin rod and delaying streamer air terminal. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical and the practice.

Interaction of positive streamers in air with bubbles floating on liquid surfaces: conductive and dielectric bubbles
The interaction of plasmas sustained in humid air with liquids produces reactive species in both the gas phase and liquid for applications ranging from medicine to agriculture. In several experiments, enhanced liquid reactivity has been produced when the liquid is a foam or a bubble coated liquid. To investigate the phenomena of streamers interacting with bubbles a twodimensional computational ...
متن کاملWhy isolated streamer discharges hardly exist above the breakdown field in atmospheric air
[1] We investigate streamer formation in the troposphere, in electric fields above the breakdown threshold. With fully three-dimensional particle simulations, we study the combined effect of natural background ionization and of photo-ionization on the discharge morphology. In previous investigations based on deterministic fluid models without background ionization, so-called double-headed strea...
متن کاملEffect of inhomogeneities on streamer propagation: II. Streamer dynamics in high pressure humid air with bubbles
The branching of electric discharge streamers in atmospheric pressure air, dense gases and liquids is a common occurrence whose origins are likely found with many causes, both deterministic and stochastic. One mechanism for streamer branching may be inhomogeneities in the path of a streamer which either divert the streamer (typically a region of lower ionization) or produce a new branch (a regi...
متن کاملElectron density fluctuations accelerate the branching of positive streamer discharges in air.
Branching is an essential element of streamer discharge dynamics. We review the current state of theoretical understanding and recall that branching requires a finite perturbation. We argue that, in current laboratory experiments in ambient or artificial air, these perturbations can only be inherited from the initial state, or they can be due to intrinsic electron-density fluctuations owing to ...
متن کاملDetectability of sprites above lightning storms on the giant planets
Large sprite discharges at mesospheric altitudes on Earth have been found to be physically similar to streamer discharges in air at sea level density. Based on this understanding, we investigate possible sprite discharges on the Gas Giant planets through laboratory experiments on streamers in H2-He gas mixture. Streamer diameters, radiance, and emission spectra are investigated and compared to ...
