Study of a low temperature plasma generator with a divergent output electrode channel

Results of experimental studies of a plasma generator with a divergent output electrode channel are presented, and a comparative analysis is performed of operation of this plasma generator and plasma generator with cylindrical channel of constant cross section. Studies of sectioned output electrodes are performed along with plasma generators with solid electrodes. The influence of sectioning on the parameters of electric discharge is studied. It is shown that the optimal degree of divergence of the output electrode channel is a complex function of different parameters.
