Tetra Corporation has over two decades of experience
in high energy pulsed power technology and pulsed electric gas laser
development and engineering. During this period Tetra has developed
its pulsed power technology to provide the pulse of current to create
the EH shock wave in water to crush rock.
Tetra Corporation has developed a number of pulsed power technologies
for defense and industrial applications. The company is looking to
lease or sell rights to some patents on pulsed power technologies
developed in its laboratories. The following is a partial list of
available patents. |
Non-Round Aperture Pseudospark
Switch
Linear Aperature Pseudospark Switch
Pulse Forming Line Driver for a Compact X-Ray Laser |
Patent No. 08,890,485
Patent No. 6,104,022
Patent No. 6,026,099 |
* Pulsed power is a branch of electrical engineering wherein
the electrical energy is stored (typically in a capacitor or
inductor) and then switched, or released, into the load. This
produces a pulse of current at high peak power, hence the term
“pulsed power”.
Blowing up a balloon and then pricking it with a pin is a mechanical
analog to electrical pulsed power. The energy is stored in the
inflating process and released in a pulse when the balloon is
pricked. |
