ELECTROSTATIC POWER GENERATOR.

Abstract

The generator system entered the testing stage. Seal testing is entering its final stage with satisfactory performance to 6000 rpm so far. The insulation strength of 1000 sq cm electrodes with a 1 mm separation was not increased but the previously reached 35 kV insulation level was re-established repeatedly. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in electrical breakdown in vacuum will undoubtedly make further advances possible. The study of excitation methods for the generator was successfully terminated and resulted in a design and a working scale model. (Author)
