Plasma Generation using Dielectric Barrier Discharge

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of creating a power source for Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma generation using a standard 220 V/50 Hz AC socket. The user seeks guidance on the necessary voltage, frequency, and circuit design to successfully generate and sustain plasma for their undergraduate project. Previous experiences with induction coils and ozone generation are mentioned, but they do not provide the needed technical details. Additionally, there is a request for resources on DBD applications and relevant research papers. The conversation highlights the need for specific calculations and equipment recommendations to facilitate the experiment.

I am having trouble in making a power source for the DBD. I can't seem to find any calculations to get the required voltage and frequency of AC to generate plasma. I want to know the circuit/method/equipment needed to generate that voltage from a normal 220 V/50 Hz AC socket in my lab.I am doing it as an experiment for my second year undergraduate project.
Thank you

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you post some links to DBD? What applications is it used for?

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.
 
I need the plasma for an experiment. I want it to sustain for a considerable amount of time.

Okay, but that doesn't really help much. Could you please address my question/request? Thanks.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
