Abstract :
In a multipin-to-plate electrode configuration at negative polarity, a stable and diffuse atmospheric pressure glow discharge, controlled by fast airflow, was obtained. Electrical characteristics and still photos of the discharge were obtained. A mechanism of the discharge stabilization by fast airflow is discussed.
