Electric-force augmentation

Incorporation of electric force fields into pesticide spray application has been shown to greatly Increase the mass-transfer efficiency of the basic droplet deposition process (1-3). The most elementary statement of the conditions necessary for such electric-force augmentation is... 

Electrically Augmented Collectors A new area for enhancing collection efficiency and lowering cost is the combining of electrostatic forces with devices using other collecting mechanisms such as... 

An ice storm, windstorm, tornado, forest fire, or flood may bring down power lines by the hundreds. Under those circumstances electric companies customarily borrow skilled professionals from one another to augment their own work forces. First Responders have their own jobs to perform at such times, usually as part of a task force. 

Other methods have been sought to augment the depolarization of the membrane by cross-flow. For particles with a higher density than water, centrifugal force has been explored. For particles bearing an electric charge, an electric field has been investigated. 

Sacrificial anodes Independent of external supply of electric power. Simple to install, simple to augment if initial protection proves inadequate. Cannot be incorrectly attached to the structure, does not require control. Difficult to overprotect. Small driving force may restrict application. 

In the last edition of his text-book Berzelius gave a short account of the action of this mysterious and occult force, which acts principally on the polarity of the atoms, which is augmented, diminished, or changed by it. In other words, the catalytic force is manifested by the excitation of electrical relations which up to the present have escaped our researches .
