The high velocity streams of particles in the vacuum arc have been subjected to a detailed study, and the results are presented in this paper, together with a discussion of many of the phenomena involved. Experimental determinations of the relations between arc current, mass of condensed metal, pressure in the arc tank, force between electrodes, and velocity of the vapor stream are included. Results with several different electrode materials are presented.
Easton et al. (1934) studied this question.
