What's the corona discharge equipment?
Is it more affordable than a O2 plasma cleaner?
thx

[@traveldiaries3569]

Is corona discharger cheaper than plasma cleaner????
and also where to buy this one

[@superkyr]

Very nice video instruction, it is helpful!
I have a same question. Which kind of corona discharger did you used in this video? Could you please tell me the vendor and model number. We need something like that in our lab. Thank you so much!

I want to know about corona discharger...
I am wonder how it works.

[@abhilashreddy468]

Can you please tell me the vendor who sells corona discharge that you used?

[@doodskop89rs]

Im looking for it too

[@mattm7482]

Great overview of the process. But in practice, such 'brute' execution is horrible, produce bad mechanical structure.

cool

[@jacobclaassen4709]

seems very innefficient compared to other methods. Also seems unreliable since it broke several(once?) while filming
