Stator and rotor device for producing high voltage impulses - in which electric field does not exceed breakthrough electric field strength

摘要

Appts. for producing periodic electric high voltage impulses or the same or opposite polarity comprises a rotor housing (21) with attached electrodes (22) having concave shaped internal surfaces and a fixed stator with electrodes (12) connected together by solid dielectric material (14). The space between (30) is filled with dielectric fluid. Specifically, either the inner or outer electrode body may move with the other being fixed. The curved radius of the outer electrode from the point of minimal gap between the electrodes increases as we move outwards and that of the inner electrode decreases. The end of the outer electrodes is actually convex. USE/ADVANTAGE - In material working or producing electron or laser beams where high impulse power is required. At no time during charging or discharging of the voltage is an electric field strength produced which exceeds the break-through field strength.
