Circle points uniform corona discharge to form air ionization current in the discharge tube. On the outside, even if the discharge electrode is spark discharging or the two discharge electrodes are short circuited, the air ionization current in the tube remains within a stable range, and there is no spark discharge. In this case, when the discharge current only increases slightly, the requirement to limited current is obtained. By installing the controller at a discharge pole with a small power but high voltage supply, we can realize the shift between the continuous spark line discharge and corona discharge. This provides a new simple device for spark discharge research and is a supplement to the Townsend discharge experiment.展开更多
