Jojo, You have a huge parameter space to search.
- What dielectric fluid will you suspend the nanoparticles in? - What density of particles-to-fluid? - Will you use ultra-sound to disperse the particles? or, then let them form larger aggregates and colloidal chains? Also check that the particle density, and conductive pathways, allow the electromagnetic pulses from the sparks to penetrate most of the volume rather than just around the discharge. Lots of other parameters, too. Are you far enough along to share details? -- Lou Pagnucco Jojo Jaro wrote: > Excellent post Axil.
