Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water plasma generators face challenges in stabilizing the injection of water plasma due to the absence of a cavity in the vortex water flow, leading to difficulties in generating arc discharge and effectively injecting water plasma.
Innovation Solution
A vortex water flow generator is designed with cylindrical partitions having different opening shapes and tapered surfaces, including arc-shaped beveled portions, to create a conical space and stabilize the vortex water flow, allowing for efficient arc discharge passage and stable water plasma injection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cavity is not provided in the vortex water flow, then arc discharge cannot be generated and water plasma injection is difficult, but adding a cavity structure increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The cavity structure is segmented into multiple partitions with different opening shapes arranged along the axial direction. Each partition creates a localized flow control zone, allowing the cavity to be formed through distributed structural elements rather than a single complex component, thus reducing overall device complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different partitions are designed with different opening shapes (circular, rectangular, triangular, etc.) to create localized variations in water flow characteristics. This local quality differentiation allows precise control of the vortex flow pattern and cavity formation in specific regions, achieving reliable water plasma injection through targeted local modifications rather than global structural changes.
2Stability of the object's composition
If openings of all partitions have the same shape, then the structure is simple, but the cavity cannot be stably provided in the vortex water flow
Solution Approach 1:
The partitions are designed with asymmetric opening shapes relative to each other along the axial direction. This asymmetry in opening configurations creates non-uniform flow distribution that stabilizes the vortex rotation and maintains a consistent cavity structure in the center of the water flow, preventing cavity collapse or irregular formation that would occur with identical opening shapes.
Solution Approach 2:
The different opening shapes (circular, rectangular, triangular) create varied curvature patterns in the water flow as it passes through each partition. These curvature variations interact with the vortex rotation to stabilize the central cavity structure, where the combination of different curved flow paths from variously shaped openings maintains consistent cavity formation throughout the axial direction.
3Productivity
If high-pressure water is introduced to generate vortex water flow, then water plasma can be injected, but resistance to the vortex water flow increases
Solution Approach 1:
The partition openings are designed to dynamically adapt the flow characteristics along the axial direction. By varying opening shapes and sizes, the structure creates a progressive flow acceleration pattern that reduces turbulence and resistance in different sections, allowing high-pressure water to maintain momentum while efficiently generating the vortex flow needed for water plasma injection.
Solution Approach 2:
The opening parameters (shape, size, position) of each partition are optimized to change along the axial direction, creating a gradient effect that progressively adjusts the water flow characteristics. This parameter variation reduces flow resistance by matching the pressure and velocity profiles at different stages of vortex formation, enabling efficient water plasma injection with minimized energy loss to resistance.

AI summary
In order to stabilize injection of water plasma, a vortex water flow generator forms a vortex water flow for passing arc discharge. The vortex water flow generator includes a cylindrical portion configured to form a vortex water flow along an inner circumference, a first middle partition and a second middle partition protruding from the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion. The first middle partition and the second middle partition respectively have an opening to include a center axis line position of the cylindrical portion. An opening of the second middle partition on the side of the positive electrode is larger than an opening of the first middle partition on the side of the negative electrode.
