AbstractCorona discharges are luminous signs of strong local electric fields allowing a continuous discharge into the surrounding atmosphere. They commonly occur at the ends of conductors at high voltage. Here we report the observation of a faint glow surrounding an insulating cm-sized box filled with mm-sized basalt beads. At an ambient pressure in the mbar range two light bands occur as soon as and only if the box is vibrated and only if it is filled with a granular medium. In addition, a glow also occurs at the inside of the box. We measured periodic electric fields at the outside of the box with spatial peaks at the positions of the light bands. The period correlates to the vibration frequency. These observations imply strong alternating fields beyond atmospheric breakdown, which are generated inside and also emerge at the outside of the insulating box. The observations can be explained by tribocharging and periodic displacement of charges between grains and the inside walls of the box.

We report on a systematic experimental study on the fluorescence spectra produced from a femtosecond laser filament in air under a high electric field. The electric field alone was strong enough to create corona discharge (CD). Fluorescence spectra from neutral and ionic air molecules were measured and compared with pure high-voltage CD and pure laser filamentation (FIL). Among them, high electric field assisted laser FIL produced nitrogen fluorescence more efficiently than either pure CD or pure FIL processes. The nonlinear enhancement of fluorescence from the interaction of the laser filament and corona discharging electric field resulted in a more efficient ionization along the laser filament zone, which was confirmed by the spectroscopic measurement of both ionization-induced fluorescence and plasma-scattered 800 nm laser pulses. This is believed to be the key precursor process for filament-guided discharge.

Facilities and buildings installed nearby high voltage equipment and electric field exposure is always a serious threat to the health of organisms and can have a significant impact on the functioning of sensitive and vital organs such as the heart and brain. Therefore, it is necessary to study the electromagnetic field value in these areas to control the intensity and restrict the induced value regarding to international recommendations. In this paper, the effects of 230KV transmission line electric fields on the environment are examined by proper FEM software.The model under consideration in this project is a four story building adjacent to the 230KV transmission line.At first, the distance between the building and high voltage transmission lines and its relationship to the intensity of the electric field is examined, and then the intensity of the electric field is compared to the standards of the International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). To continue, in places where the electric field exceeds the standard level value, solutions to reduce the intensity of the electric field to the tolerable value have been proposed.The first solution is to use a metal shield around the building as a Faraday cage, which weakens the potential for electric field value by creating an enclosed surface, the reduction rate is 4700%,both complete cage shape and incomplete cage shapes are considered in this study which reduces the exposure value to 62.5% of its initial value. The second approach to reducing the electric field is to use protective conductor paints against electromagnetic fields. In the following study, the effect of using trees as a barrier against electromagnetic radiation will be examined. Finally, the three proposed solutions are compared in terms of environmental constraints, economic justification, and the reduction in electric field value.


This following research of the properties of a coronary discharge has a serious impact on the study of metallurgy. There are a lot of cases of practical use of the corona discharge functions. An example is the creation of electrostatic precipitators for the purification of industrial gases from solid and liquid particles. Using the corona discharge method, for example, smoke is cleaned in the production of sulfuric acid, air in non-ferrous metal foundries and other harmful industries. Shape of the corona discharge made utilizing cone shaped and round and hollow terminals was examined. The most electrical characteristics of discharge of this type are decided. Corona discharges are characterized by weak currents within the extend of one microampere at voltages on the arrange of 10 kilovolts and adequately week gleam discharge. Electric fluctuations within the discharge current circuit within the extend 1 kHz-120 MHz are enlisted. To think about the oscillatory forms, there were used electric and attractive tests, signals from which were sent to the Tektronix TDS 2024B oscilloscope working within the frequency analyzer mode. The electrical tests were spoken to by metal poles 1-10 cm in length and 4-5 mm in diameter. As magnetic tests, there were used coils (diameter 2-4 mm, number of turns 70-140, wire thickness 0.1 mm) set in protective dielectric walled in areas. These tests were located at a separate of 0.5-1.0 m from the release. Possible waves in plasma are suggested to explain these oscillations.
