Discharge gliding arc

A gliding arc is an auto-oscillating periodic discharge between at least two diverging electrodes submerged in gas flow (Fig. 4-51). Self-initiated in the upstream narrowest gap, the 

The gliding arc has been known for more than one hundred years in the form of Jacob s ladder and was first used for producing nitrogen-based fertilizers by Naville and Guye (1904). Recent contributions to the development of gliding arcs have been made by A. 

After decay of the non-equilibrium discharge, a new breakdown takes p ace a e distance between the electrodes and the cycle repeats.
