Repetitive pulsed power to serve nanotechnology, sustainability and hydrogen production

Repetitive pulsed-power has enormous enabling potential for a wide range of unconventional processes, such as nanotechnology, hydrogen production, gas and water processing and direct pulse interactions. The technology focuses on multiple switch concepts, a multiple pulsed plasma torch for thermal and nonthermal plasma and the combination of a near zero-erosion spark gap or an opening switch with a transmission line transformer.
