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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention, on the contrary, is to prevent the appearance of any discharge oscillation, hence to prevent the formation of arc or plasma, and to supply the energy to the external medium between the electrodes in a very short time.
Accordingly, the main object of the invention is to solve the new technical problem which consists of providing a solution permitting instant delivery in a relatively short time of most of the energy stored by the charge of the capacitor of the discharge circuit between two electrodes, by eliminating substantially completely the latency time normally necessary for generating an electric discharge between the electrodes.
Another object of the invention is to solve the new technical problem consisting in providing a solution permitting substantially complete elimination of the latency time when generating an electric discharge between two electrodes while considerably improving the reproducibility and efficiency of the pressure waves generated during the discharge, notably due to an important improvement in localizing the generation of the discharge current, hence of the generated steam bubble.
Yet another object of the present invention is to solve the new technical problem consisting in providing a solution permitting substantially complete elimination of the latency time when generating an electric discharge between the electrodes, while producing a discharge a critically damped type which will cause instantaneous delivery, or a delivery in a relatively short time of most of the energy stored by the charge of the capacitor of the discharge circuit between the electrodes, thereby preventing the oscillations associated with the formation of the electric arc.
A further object of the present invention is to solve said new technical problems while providing a solution permitting a reduction of the wear of the electrodes.
Yet another object of the invention is to solve the aforesaid new technical problems in an extremely simple manner which can be used on an industrial scale, particularly with reference to apparatuses for extracorporeal destruction of concretions by using pressure waves (kidney lithiases, cholelithiases, and urinary (calculi) or of tissues (such as tumors) or for treating bone fractures
