A Novel Power Supply for Generating a One Atmosphere Uniform Glow Discharge Plasma (OAUGDP®)

A Novel Power Supply for Generating a One Atmosphere Uniform Glow Discharge Plasma (OAUGDP®)

A high voltage transformer connected to an atmospheric plasma generator is driven as a current-fed push-pull parallel resonant system, switched by a resonant lamp controller integrated circuit from Texas Instruments (UC3872) in such a manner as to be automatically maintained at resonance. The freque...
