Spark-gap transmitter — A spark gap transmitter is a device for generating radio frequency electromagnetic waves. These devices served as the transmitters for most wireless telegraphy systems for the first three decades of radio (1887 ndash;1916) and the first… … Wikipedia
Spark ionization — (also known as spark source ionization()) is a method used to produce gas phase ions from a solid sample. The prepared solid sample is vaporized and partially ionized by an intermittent discharge or spark. [… … Wikipedia
Spark gap — A spark gap consists of an arrangement of two conducting electrodes separated by a gap usually filled with a gas such as air. When a suitable voltage is supplied, a spark forms, ionizing the gas and drastically reducing its electrical resistance … Wikipedia
Spark plug — A spark plug (also, very rarely nowadays, in British English: a sparking plug) is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of some internal combustion engines and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by means of an electric spark.… … Wikipedia
Discharge ionization detector — A discharge ionization detector (DID) is a type of detector used in gas chromatography. Principle A DID is an ion detector which uses a high voltage electric discharge to produce ions. The spark ionizes helium atoms that are mixed with components … Wikipedia
Electrostatic discharge — (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials. The term is usually used in the electronics and other industries to describe momentary unwanted currents that may cause damage… … Wikipedia
