  • SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING AN ELECTRIC FIELD TO A COMBUSTION VOLUME
    Publication number: 20140368121
    Abstract: A combustion system is provided, in which respective waveforms are applied to each of a plurality of electrodes positioned in a combustion volume, producing periodic electric fields between pairs of the electrodes. A safety circuit is configured to reduce or eliminate danger by grounding each of the plurality of electrodes or otherwise driving each of the electrodes to a safe state upon detection of a safety condition.
