When talking about obtaining surplus energy from the energy stored in the gas, I mean the products of gas ionization, mainly free electrons. I am aware that gas ionization requires a significant energy input. However, I would like to expand on the point of view customarily taken on the issue of...

Let us assume a continuous flow of gas that can be ionized between the electrodes where an electric discharge is generated. According to the principle of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another with losses, e.g. in the...
