Ionization of air.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello.

I have a model that comprises a container filled with air.
From the outside there are two coils
number of turns 1e6
supply current is 1e3 A
in the container are two electrodes voltage + - + e7 V
the pressure in the container was 3000 per annum and the temperature 1E7 K.

The device should break down air to the electrons and ions.
But nothing is doing.

Does anyone advise me why?

Thank you.

The AC/DC application module calculates currents in conductors as well as electric and magnetic fields. It doesn't include dielectric breakdown.

Hello.

I tried to use my model stationary electric and magnetic fields from RF EMW frequncy domain ..
The results are better than before.

so I want to ask:

if
The AC / DC application module Calculates currents in conductors as well as electric and magnetic fields. It does not include dielectric breakdown.

1.If AC / DC application module I use in another module will be calculated
Breaking through the dielectric?

2.If be applied electric and magnetic fields from another module will be calculated
Breaking through the dielectric?

Thank you very much.
