Abstract

A discharge electrode and discharge electrode assembly having longer more reliable service life than conventional tensioned wires wherein the electrode is categorized as rigid because its mechanical behavior more closely resembles that of a structural beam than a wire of equal length and the electrode in the preferred embodiment has a flattened ellipsoidal configuration with corona members projecting substantially along a plane passing through the long axis of the ellipsoidal electrode.
