FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: in the method to produce an electric discharge in vapours of electrolyte, consisting in ignition of a discharge between a solid-state anode and a liquid electrolyte sent into a discharge area via a solid body of a porous dielectric body, electrolyte is supplied into a discharge area by filling of a vertical through profiled channel in a porous dielectric body to the level of the ledge in the channel section. In the device to produce an electric discharge in vapours of electrolyte, comprising a solid-state current lead, a porous dielectric body, a liquid electrolyte as a cathode, a solid-state anode and a hydraulic system for electrolyte circulation, in the porous dielectric body there is a through cylindrical channel with a ledge, besides, the channel is aligned so that its section with a smaller diameter d is arranged at the side of the current lead, and the section with the large diameter D - at the side of the anode, and diameters of channel sections are selected within the following limits: d=(5÷15) mm - near a section with a smaller diameter; D=(1.2÷2.0)·d - near a section of a larger diameter.
EFFECT: increased active working area of a discharge.
