摘要:
An electrical discharge irrigation device and method is described. The device includes a power source to produce a first voltage, a circuit coupled to the power source to convert the first voltage to a second voltage, a discharge capacitor to receive the second voltage from the circuit, at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier coupled to the discharge capacitor to receive the second voltage, and an output tip. This output tip is coupled to the at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier and includes a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis extending between them, an electrode located in an interior space of the output tip configured to receive an electrical charge from the at least one of a transistor and a controlled rectifier and to release an electric discharge, and a ground return. The ground return is an outside surface of the output tip and a space between the electrode and the ground return holds a conductive medium so that the conductive medium is in contact with the electrode and the ground return to produce the electric discharge.
