An Optimally Loaded Electrohydrodynamic Power Generator.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an optimum channel or nozzle configuration for a device generating useful electrical power by means of an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) Process. The present invention provides a uniform maximum loading throughout an EHD conversion channel. The channel is in the form of a slender nozzle of a geometrical shape defined by a pair of parametric equations which have the electric pressure at its allowable limit everywhere along the conversion channel of an EHD power generator.
