  • Method and apparatus for initiating, directing and constricting electrical discharge arcs
    Patent number: 6483077
    Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for initiating and guiding an electrical discharge arc. This method preferably comprises the steps of: providing a laser beam through a predetermined gas comprising molecules amenable to vibrational excitation by a laser beam so as to cause vibrational excitation of the molecules and to define a beam path in a direction of desired electrical discharge; and propagating an electrical discharge arc so as to intersect the beam path, whereby the electrical discharge arc is directed along the beam path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2002
    Assignee: The Ohio State University
