Plasma Generation
Various forms of excitation are distinguished:
- AC (alternating current) excitation
- DC (direct current) and low-frequency excitation
- Excitation by means of radio waves
- Microwave excitation
The only atmospheric-pressure plasmas that have attained any noteworthy industrial significance are those generated by DC excitation (electric arc) and AC excitation (corona discharge, dielectric barrier discharge and plasma jets).

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain and restless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn’t matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
