Many technologies rely on electric discharge phenomena, including consumer electronics, medical devices, and high-voltage power systems. During product development, it is highly beneficial to simulate ...

A recent study has found that the electricity produced by an electric eel’s discharge is strong enough to cause the transfer of genetic material from the environment into the cells of nearby animals.

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

Zaps of static electricity are commonplace in everyday life. But can static electricity give enough of a jolt to start a fire? Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and ...

The spinning steel and plastic components of a combine, insulated from the ground by rubber tires and plastic skid shoes on small grain platforms, have been proven to create a static electric charge ...
