RE: [Vo]: Re: Water Jet Arc

Not thinking this morning.

 

Metal plates with a machined cavity  filled with water

and "O" Ring sealed on each side of an alumina or quartz plate

with a hole through it's center with voltage applied should

create a pinch- plasma arc through the hole.

Insulated bolts on the perimeter of the plates holding them

against the ceramic, of course.

I think that one can get a stable arc by using a

circulating pump to power a water jet  immersed below

the water pool surface squirting water from a nozzle onto the anode.

 

The dish sprayer at the kitchen sink held beneath the surface

of water in a pan shows that the jets emerge intact when

pointed upward.

 

Borax and/or Baking Soda should get the conductivity

up enough to run off 24 volts or so DC, if the area of the jet

is sufficient.
