disruptive discharge

An Oudin coil is a disruptive discharge coil.

Some models operate on an electromagnetic disruptive discharge circuit while others are powered by electronic circuitry (called solid state wands) or combinations of the two.

In 1928, he, together with Vladimir Fock, created a theory of thermal disruptive discharge of dielectrics.

Breakdown occurs quite abruptly (typically in nanoseconds), resulting in the formation of an electrically conductive path and a disruptive discharge through the material.

The pictures, jumping and tearing with every disruptive discharge of a pirate's gun, as locks were broken and screen cells destroyed, was fascinatingly unfolding relentless doom.

The disruptive discharge coil remains in common use as the ignition coil or spark coil in the ignition system of an internal combustion engine.

The disruptive discharge coil remains in common use as the 'ignition coil'Ignitions circuit', H. B. Holthouse.

Their construction usually feature a combination of a disruptive discharge coil with an interrupter to apply a high voltage, high frequency, and low current to the human body for therapeutic purposes.

Later came the magnificent work of Hertz identifying the phenomena as "electromagnetic waves" in the ether, and developing a new world of theory and science based upon them and their production by disruptive discharges.

Peter T. Riess (a 19th-century researcher) theorized that the negative electrification of the plate was caused by the friction of the water vapour, etc., driven along the surface by the explosion which accompanies the disruptive discharge at the point.

Broadly speaking, these oscillations arise from disruptive discharges of an induction coil, or other form of oscillator, across an air-gap, and their character is controlled by the manipulation of a special type of circuit-breaking key, by means of which long and short discharges are produced.

Most ignition systems used in cars are inductive discharge ignition (IDI) systems, which are solely relying on the electric inductance at the coil to produce high-voltage electricity to the spark plugs as the magnetic field collapses when the current to the primary coil winding is disconnected (disruptive discharge).
