ABSTRACT:
A plasma generator according to the invention comprises a chamber (2) at a first potential (V1) filled with a gas at a low pressure and a transparent electrode surface comprised of wires, grid or perforated plate (3) at a second potential (V2) higher than (V1). Thus, an electron (4) present in the chamber will be oscillating on both sides of the transparent electrode surface (3) for providing secondary electrons (11 and 12) which create in turn other secondary electrons (13-14, 15-16). At each occurence of an electron pair, one ion (i1, i2, i3, . . . ) is created.
