When I was at school we used an induction coil and we used the discharge for making Ozone. The discharge took place through the wall of a glass tube, and we called it a Silent Discharge at that time.Rhony said:
Okay, but that doesn't really help much. Could you please address my question/request? Thanks.Rhony said:

DBD is a non-thermal plasma generation technique that uses a high voltage electric field to create a plasma in a gas, typically at atmospheric pressure. The electric field is applied to a dielectric material, usually a thin layer of glass or ceramic, which separates the two electrodes and allows for a stable discharge.
DBD plasma is unique in that it operates at atmospheric pressure and at relatively low temperatures compared to other types of plasma. This makes it useful for applications where high temperatures and vacuum conditions are not desirable.
DBD can be used with a variety of gases, including air, helium, argon, and nitrogen. The choice of gas will affect the properties of the generated plasma, such as its temperature and chemical reactivity.
DBD plasma has a wide range of potential applications, including surface modification, sterilization, and pollution control. It has also been used in biomedical research, such as for cell manipulation and wound healing.
One of the main challenges in DBD plasma generation is controlling the discharge and maintaining a stable and uniform plasma. Other challenges include the design and optimization of the DBD system, as well as understanding the complex physics behind the discharge process.
