Plasma electrodes for pulse energy enhancement

A technology for the generation of a non-thermal plasma with enhanced pulse energy is presented. Electrodes are tailored with charge collecting elements, which trigger enhanced pulse energies in plasma filaments and a targeted formation of filamented discharges.

Efficient generation of plasma-activated aerosols

Solutions for an efficient generation of plasma-activated aerosols with high activities are suggested. A cold plasma is ignited directly in the presence of sprayed liquid droplets, leading to intercalation of reactive species on the surface or in the volume of droplets.

Current transformer as power sensor for cold atmospheric plasmas

This compact and cost-effective technology facilitates a real-time, simultaneous measurement of plasma voltage and plasma current with a combined device in the high-voltage circuit of a cold atmospheric plasma. The system exhibits a good time resolution and enables a live plasma self-regulation.

Plasma hand dryer

Here we present a hand dryer applying simultaneously an atmospheric-pressure plasma which reduces the amount of germs on the hand surface and in the ambient air significantly.

LICE ERASER — reliably killing of head-lice and their nits

The LICE-ERASER kills the head-lice and their nits reliably and without any side effects. To use, the LICE-ERASER has to be moved through the hair like a hair-brush. The LICE-ERASER produces a cold plasma generated between the comb tooths, which kills the head-lice and their nits. This procedure is completely free of pain, the user will not feel anything.

New plasma device to treat hair loss

Scientists at the HAWK in Göttingen, Germany developed a new brush-like plasma device for chemical-free treatment of the scalp to promote hair growth. The small device is easy to handle and can significantly enhance microcirculation as well as oxygen saturation, which are key parameters for stimulating hair growth.
