Abstract

A hypothesis has been proposed according to which the preserved traces of the impact on the nature caused by the explosion of the Tunguska meteorite are the result of electrical discharges in a cloud of solid particles, which, when moving at the space velocity in the upper atmosphere, were heated up to a high temperature and, due to thermionic emission, acquired large positive charges. The released thermo-electrons attached to air molecules and lagged behind the charged particles. The separation of the charges in the cloud caused powerful discharges similar to horizontal lightnings in clouds. The consequences of the discharges in the cloud of highly charged solid particles, which gave rise to the generation of hard ionizing radiation, are discussed.

气溶胶的电爆炸。纪念通古斯陨石诞生 115 周年

摘要

有人提出了一种假设，根据该假设，通古斯陨石爆炸对自然造成的影响的保留痕迹是固体颗粒云中放电的结果，这些颗粒在高层大气中以空速移动时，被加热到高温，并且由于热电子发射而获得大量正电荷。释放的热电子附着在空气分子上并落后于带电粒子。云中电荷的分离引起了类似于云中水平闪电的强烈放电。讨论了高带电固体颗粒云中放电的后果，这种放电导致了硬电离辐射的产生。
