TESTS OF A CONDUCTING-CARRIER-TYPE ELECTROSTATIC GENERATOR
Abstract
Tests were conducted on a small, 1 to 5 watt, conducting carrier type of electrostatic generator. The generator was operated in H2, N2, CO2, and SF6, from 0 to 200 psig; and in air, from 2 x 10 to the -6 power mm Hg to 200 psig. The maximum power output from the conducting carrier electrostatic generator was 6 watts and was obtained while operating the machine in a vacuum. The machine generated a maximum of 4 watts in pressure tests using sulfur hexafluoride as the dielectric at 150 psig. Peak output voltage (76 kv) was with 150 psig SF6 as the dielectric. In vacuum at 2 x 10 to the -6 power mm Hg, 35 kv output was obtained. Endurance tests conducted in SF6 under 150 psig pressure indicated that dust particles, produced by commutation, induced erratic behavior. (Author)
