  • Abstract
    The methodology and concept used by Plasma Technologies Inc. to design and develop a plasma barrier force-field access denial system is described. The Tesla coil technology is exploited in the system. Basic engineering circuit principle and analysis were applied. Upgrading from classical to modern solid state version was discussed. Effects of major electrical hazards to physiological being of humans were identified. These guide the design and development effort adapted for the system to avoid serious harm, physiological damages, and life endangerment of personnel denied of entry.
