A field mill capable of measuring the magnitude and polarity of electric fields at the ground level was studied to apply to a lightning warning system as a sensor. We designed and fabricated a planar-shutter type field mill with a rotating-vanes. A calibration of the field mill was performed in a vertically symmetrical arrangement which consists of two equal size parallel round plates to form a homogeneous electrical fields. The sensitivity of the field mill was adjusted at 0.5[V/kV/m], and this covers a ranges from 200[V/m] to 20[kV/m]. After the calibration experiment, the field mill was installed on the roof of a building to measure the changes of electric field intensity caused by thunderclouds. During the period from July 1. 2006 to July 15. 2006, the electric field intensity was recorded a ranges of $+2[kV/m]{\sim}-6[kV/m]$ depending on generation, extinction and movement of thunderclouds. From the actual test on the ground it is confirmed that the field mill has a good performance necessary for the measurement of DC electric fields.

This paper presents an active position control of a single-rod cylinder system featuring an electrorheological(ER) fluid-based valve. The ER fluid consisting of silicone oil and chemically treated particles is firstly composed and its Bingham property is tested as a function of imposed electric field. A multi-channel plate type of ER valve is then designed and manufactured on the basis of the field-dependent Bingham model. Performance test of the ER valve is undertaken by evaluating pressure drop with respect to the number of electrode as well as the intensity of the electric field. Subsequently, the ER valve-cylinder system is constructed and its governing equation of motion is derived. A neural control scheme for position control of the cylinder is formulated by incorporating proportional-plus-derivative(PD) controller and implemented. Experimental results of both regulating and tracking control responses are presented in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed ER valve-cylinder control system.

The accidents caused by dielectric instability have been increasing in power grid. It is important to enhance the dielectric reliability of a high voltage apparatus to reduce the damage from electrical hazards. To develop an electrically reliable high voltage apparatus, the experimental study on the electrical breakdown field strength is indispensable, as well as theoretical approach. In this paper, the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics considering utilization factors are studied for the establishment of insulation design criteria of an high voltage apparatus. The utilization factors are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field. Dielectric experiments are performed by using several kinds of sphere-plane electrode systems made of stainless steel. As a result, it is found that dielectric characteristics are affected by not only maximum electric field intensity but also utilization factors of electrode systems. The results are expected to be applicable to designing the air-insulated high voltage apparatuses.

Aminated polyacrylonitrile as the new organic disperse phases of the anhydrous ER fluid has been synthesized and ER effect of the suspension composed of aminated polyacrylonitrile in silicone oil investigated. The suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited the dependence with a factor equals to 1.6 power on theelectric field. The current density and the conductivity of the of aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension increase with the electric field intensity and moreover the conductivity of the suspension is about 8 order of magnitude higher than that of the silicone oil. On the basis of the the results, aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension showed the ER flow behavior upon application of the electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amine polar group of the aminated polyacrylonitrile particles.

The conventional current transformers are often take faults and out of order that for detect to over current of electric power lines because electromagnetic interference. But, it is possible to implement protection relay of high reliability using optical magnetic field sensor which are immunity and small size. The optical magnetic field sensor is possible to rapidly detect to over current and recover when electric power line have fault. And it is not necessary to make with capacitance of electric power lines as optical magnetic field sensor is have linearity from 0 to about 20kA. In this study, we designed and constructed compensative feedback circuit in order to minimize of optical power intensity variation with environ- mental variations(temperature, drive current) of light source. And this system have highest optical advantages and reliability.

Hydroxygraphene as a kind of functionalized graphene has important applications in composite, photoelectric and biological materials. In the present study, THz and microfluidic technologies were implemented to study the THz transmission characteristics of hydroxygraphene with different concentrations and residence times in magnetic and electric fields. The results show that the THz transmission intensity decreases with the increase in sample concentration and duration of an applied electric field, while it increases by staying longer in the magnetic field. The phenomenon is analyzed and explained in terms of hydrogen bond, conductivity and scattering characteristics. The results establish a foundation for future research on the THz absorption characteristics of liquid graphene based on microfluidic technology in different external environments. It also provides technical support for the application and development of graphene in THz devices.

In this paper, an incoherent imaging of a high-contrast cylindrical cavity illuminated by the time-harmonic cylindrical wave is obtained ia the back-projections of he incoherent intensity patterns, which si acquired by averaging out the multi-frequency intensities of the total electric field scattered from this object in the cross-borehole measurement configuration. Multi-freuqncy effect is shown numerically and is intepreted analytically by the mutual coherence function defined in the is frequency domain. This imaging method is validated by imaging high-contrast cylindrical cavidities and the conditions to get better image are investigated.

This paper describes the characteristics of thermo-field emission in a freestanding silicon nanomembrane under ion bombardment with various thermal and field conditions. The thermal effect and field effect in thermo-field emission in silicon nanomembrane are investigated by varying kinetic energy of ions and electric field applied to the silicon nanomembrane surface, respectively. We found that thermo-field emission increases linearly as the electric field increases, when the electric field intensity is lower than the threshold. The thermo-field emission (schottky effect) increases proportionally to the power of temperature, which agree well with the predictions of a thermo-field emission model.

This study was investigated to evaluate the effect of electric fields application for the reduction of membrane fouling, the inactivation of microorganisms and the enhancement of particle coagulation in microfiltration/coagulation. Cumulative permeate in the case with electric field treatment showed high value compared to the case without electric field. Particularly, the increase of HRT (Hydraulic retention time) showed the increase of cumulative permeate as well as the decrease of total resistance. By electric field treatment, the amount of small particle size less than 100 ${\mu}m$ is increased and the survival fraction is reduced by the increase of electric field intensity. This may be attributed to the cleavage of particle or cytological destruction resulting from the inactivation of microorganism. Coagulant dosage of PAC compared with no electric field application could also be saved about 75% for the 95% of turbidity removal at 10 kV/cm.
