Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and device for discharging an electric current between two electrodes, comprising considerably reducing the resistance to the passage of electric current at least between the electrodes so as to bring it to a resistance value near to or slightly higher than the critical resistance by interposing a conductive electrolyte between electrodes. This improves the rate of discharge of an electric current produced between the electrodes, by eliminating substantially completely the latency time.
