What is the electrohydroshock effect of Yutkin

The Yutkin effect has been known to mankind for over seventy years. It is a very effective way to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The author of it was our compatriot, a talented inventor Lev Aleksandrovich Yutkin, who worked on electrodynamics in the 1930s and 40s. By the way, in addition to the mentioned effect, he went down in history thanks to more than a hundred proposed innovations. Thanks to his famous invention, he received the nickname "Russian Tesla".

Effect mechanics

The electrohydroshock effect of Yutkin, or, as it is briefly called, EGE, is essentially a powerful hydroshock with local pressure, which is higher than hundreds of thousands of atmospheres. Such a shock occurs when a high voltage discharge passes through water. Actually, that’s why the Yutkin effect is sometimes popularly called simply hydroblow. To obtain an EGE, it is necessary to apply alternating current from the network to a step-up transformer. Here the voltage rises to several kilovolts. After that, the electric current rectified by the diodes is supplied to the prepared capacitor, where it accumulates to the required amount.

After this procedure between the electrodes,
placed in water, a high-voltage breakdown occurs, generating an electro-hydraulic shock. The latter manifests itself in the form of a loud pop and a local increase in pressure at this point to several tens of thousands of atmospheres.

The possibility of practical use of the opening

In addition to the local pressure of tens of thousands of atmospheres that appears during the procedure, there are a number of interesting properties that accompany the Yutkin effect. The circuit of the electronic unit, of course, must take into account the extremely high emerging temperature and powerful energy, so that the structure does not simply melt. And the interesting properties of the effect offer, for example, the following features:

1. Marked local strong increase in pressure to tens of thousands of atmospheres. The Yutkin effect can be used when crushing and grinding various
   
   stone, metal pressing and stamping, as well as for converting mechanical energy into its other types. For example, in torque.
2. Local strong fever. According to experiments, the Yutkin effect causes the liquid to heat up at a high speed, incommensurable with the energy spent on the process itself. Thus, thanks to this property, it is possible to create highly efficient and at the same time low-cost heating devices.
3. The evolution of brown gas from water. Since this property was not discovered by the inventor himself, Lev Aleksandrovich Yutkin, but by much later researchers of the effect, it is not very well studied. This is especially true of its quantitative part. At the same time, as was noted, its mere presence does not negate previous advantageous opportunities and makes it theoretically feasible to simultaneously apply all three properties that the Yutkin effect has.
