| 7126081 | Radial pulsed arc discharge gun for synthesizing nanopowders A system and method for synthesizing nanopowder which provides for precursor material ablation from two opposing electrodes that are spaced apart within a gaseous atmosphere, where a plasma is created by a high power pulsed electrical discharge between the electrode... | 10/24/2006 |
| 7012214 | Nanopowder synthesis using pulsed arc discharge and applied magnetic field Nanopowder synthesis systems in which a pulsed magnetic field is applied to electrodes of precursor material, in close proximity to an electrical discharge arc that is formed between the electrodes, to attain increased yields of nanopowder. A magnet insert of a coat... | 03/14/2006 |
| 6965629 | Method and apparatus for initiating a pulsed arc discharge for nanopowder synthesis A nanopowder synthesis system having an autofuser device which obviates the need for external power switches, and which accommodates repeated discharges (of the order of 107) between ablating electrodes of precursor material at a high repetition rate (≧... | 11/15/2005 |
| 6916389 | Process for mixing particulates A process for producing a mixture of particulates using compressed gas and sonication. The process is particularly useful to mix reactive particulates, such as thermites. ... | 07/12/2005 |
| 6777639 | Radial pulsed arc discharge gun for synthesizing nanopowders A system and method for synthesizing nanopowder which provides for precursor material ablation from two opposing electrodes that are substantially axially aligned and spaced apart within a gaseous atmosphere, where a plasma is created by a high power pulsed electric... | 08/17/2004 |
| 6653591 | Method and apparatus for direct electrothermal-physical conversion of ceramic into nanopowder A method of producing nanocrystalline ceramic powder by creating a plasma stream in a reactor vessel, and physically converting a ceramic precursor material into ceramic particles suspended in the vessel, using the plasma stream. A metallic reactant may a... | 11/25/2003 |
| 6600127 | Method and apparatus for direct electrothermal-physical conversion of ceramic into nanopowder A process for synthesizing nanosized powders utilizes a hybrid exploding wire device containing a solid metal wire fuse in the bore of a tube that is open at each end. The ends of the fuse are connected to electrodes on the ends of the tube. The electrode... | 07/29/2003 |
| 6580051 | Method and apparatus for producing bulk quantities of nano-sized materials by electrothermal gun synthesis A process for synthesizing nanosized powders utilizes a hybrid exploding wire device containing a solid metal wire fuse in the bore of a tube that is open at each end. The ends of the fuse are connected to electrodes on the ends of the tube. The electrode... | 06/17/2003 |
