 American AntiGravity - Corona and Wire Information
The corona is a purple glow emitted from air-molecules that are excited by the high-voltage leakage current in the air-gap.
The corona is a lossy effect, and the energy lost in producing the corona detracts from lifting thrust.
The bright purple glow of the corona from the 30-gauge copper wire was captured using a 1-second shutter exposure.

 DayCor - A Dual-Spectrum Camera for Daytime Corona Detection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Corona and arcing activity, which may occur at numerous points on overhead transmission, substation, and distribution power systems, may result in audio noise (AN) or radio interference (RI) complaints or indicate a defective component that may be close to failure.
Therefore, it is important that operators are capable of distinguishing between a benign corona source and one that indicates a defect.
However since daytime corona inspection is a new technology, a considerable amount of research is necessary to correlate observed activity with defective components or benign sources.

 Celsus's Decircumcision Operation
The operation would be easier in a boy than a man since there would be a greater proportion of skin to penis.
Penn's procedure conforms to Celsus's first operation in all particulars except that he applies a free graft of skin to the raw area from the edge of the new prepuce to the base of the penis to prevent scarring and to facilitate healing.
Unlike the restored prepuce of the first operation, the new covering of the glans is not exterior dermis, but the raw underside of a full-thickness tube of skin.

 Nuclear Structure Laboratory, FN Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator
The arm containing the corona point assembly is mounted to the tank wall directly opposite the terminal, so that the points can be extended toward or extracted away from the terminal.
During accelerator operation, the corona points are moved close enough to the terminal so that a coronal discharge begins at the points, and this discharge causes charge to flow from the terminal through the corona points.
When the accelerator is operating, the GVM is exposed to the electric field at the location of the terminal, and the capacitance of the GVM varies as the rotating vanes alternately cover and then expose the stationary metal vanes to the electric field.

 Cut With Glass | PFFC | March 2006
Corona treatment is a process in which high-frequency electrical energy is used to create a corona discharge within a narrow gap.
Many of the remaining unknowns regarding the operation of corona treaters are associated with the electrical properties of the treater roll and, more specifically, the treater roll covering.
Therefore, to determine the equivalent operating point for the glass roll to give a receding contact angle of 40 deg, the watt density for the glass roll can be estimated by extrapolating, to 40 deg, the linear or the second order regression result for the glass roll (see Formula 1).
