设计并测试了一种基于辉光放电的迷宫解算装置。该装置由气体放电室和径向-方位型迷宫变压器组成。它允许在短时间内(在几分钟内)改变迷宫图案。该装置已在低压空气中进行了测试。一旦开启，辉光放电从第一次尝试就能找到通过迷宫的最短路径，即使在迷宫中有一段电子的势垒。已发现在迷宫中可以沿等离子体通道的长度激发电离波(条纹)。测量了放电电压与通过迷宫的最佳路径长度的关系。发现并解释了存在一个或两个势垒时放电电压降低的原因。测量了放电点火电压的大小与迷宫最佳路径长度的关系。观察到并解释了当存在一个或两个势垒时点火电压降低的原因。(C)2014 AIP出版有限责任公司。
A glow discharge based device for solving mazes has been designed and tested. The device consists of a gas discharge chamber and maze-transformer of radial-azimuth type. It allows changing of the maze pattern in a short period of time (within several minutes). The device has been tested with low pressure air. Once switched on, a glow discharge has been shown to find the shortest way through the maze from the very first attempt, even if there is a section with potential barrier for electrons on the way. It has been found that ionization waves (striations) can be excited in the maze along the length of the plasma channel. The dependancy of discharge voltage on the length of the optimal path through the maze has been measured. A reduction in discharge voltage with one or two potential barriers present has been found and explained. The dependency of the magnitude of discharge ignition voltage on the length of the optimal path through the maze has been measured. The reduction of the ignition voltage with the presence of one or two potential barriers has been observed and explained. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
