This post’s subject is corona effect or corona discharge. This phenomenon is common in medium and high voltage transmission lines.
Gravitational waves: what are they?
Gravitational waves are caused by big cosmic events. In this post, it’s explained what are they, how are produced and how they can be detected.
Step voltage: what is it?
How a lighting can kill many animals at the same time? The answer is step voltage and the explanation of this phenomena is the post’s subject.
Cosmic rays: what are they?
The cosmic rays are a set of particles with high energy that arrives at Earth’s atmosphere every day, at speeds close to the light.
Van de Graaff generator: how it works?
The Van de Graaff generator was invented in 1929, by the American engineer Robert Jemison Van de Graaff and can produce millions of volts.
High energy antimatter particle in Antarctica
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, in Antarctica, detected an antimatter particle with highest energy ever registered. This event was predicted in 1960.
Electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
I received requests to write about electromagnetic pulse (EMP). In this post, are described the power of EMP, source, and weapons which use this technology.
