  • Discharge Nozzle in Action

    Ever wondered what a discharge experiment in action looks like? Well after the gas leaves the pulsed expansion nozzle, it passes through a discharge nozzle. This nozzle looks like the schematic in Figure 1, with two copper electrodes that are separated by some distance. These two electrodes are what impart the energy to the gas…
