• TITLE: Battery Explosions and High Current Bursts during Short Circuit Events on Conducting Paths with Curvature

  AUTHORS: Christos D. Papageorgiou, T. E. Raptis

  ABSTRACT: Experimental results of linear and curved conducting thin wires’ disintegration under high power but low energy electrical discharges are reported. Microscopic origin of the anomalous energy release is traced into the lattice interaction with the strong transient radiation field causing the appearance of a strong Stark effect out of the polarization of the metallic surface. The possible role of the wire curvature is also explored with the resonant transmission line numerical method for the Schrodinger equation.
