Brush discharge plastics. The ability of an electrical discharge to cause an explosion in flammable atmospheres is measured by the "effective energy" of the discharge. The effective energy of brush discharges is 10-20 mJ, much larger than that of corona discharges 0.1 mJ. Therefore, brush discharges are considered an explosion hazard, while corona discharges are not. Brush discharges can occur from charged insulating plastics (for example polythene) to a conductor. Brush discharge A brush discharge is an electrical disruptive discharge similar to a corona discharge that takes place at an electrode with a high voltage applied to it, embedded in a nonconducting
Hiberno-Latin be to cast ridicule on these Vatican-oriented writers by blending their stylistic tricks with incompetent scansion and applying them to unworthy subjects. On a much more intelligible level, the sixth-century Abecedarian hymn "Altus prosator" shows many of the features of Hiberno-Latin: the word "prosator", the "first sower" meaning "creator", refers to God using an unusual neologism. The text of the poem also contains the word "iduma", meaning "hands;" this is probably from Hebrew "yadaim". The poem is also an extended alphabetical acrostic, another example of the wordplay typical of Hiberno-Latin. Irish (but not Continental) manuscripts traditionally attributed the poem to
