TWO NEW CIRCUITS USED IN THE MHD TURBULENCE FACILITY TRIGGERING AND DELAY UNIT

Abstract

Two new circuits used with the MHD turbulence facility are described and their operation is explained. The first circuit is an L-C delay circuit utilizing a diode to produce a sharp spike at the end of a half cycle. The second circuit is used for shorting out the grid spike that occurs when a high-voltage thyratron breaks down. It is thought that these 2 circuits will be of considerable use in the type of work being done in his laboratory. (Author)
