Abstract
The production of electrically conducting metal nanopowder by electrospark dispersion in liquid dielectric is considered, in the case with a significant overvoltage in the discharge gap between the electrodes. An experimental apparatus with an air gap that creates an overvoltage at the working spark gap is developed. The two gaps split the voltage on capacitor discharge.
