Physics

Scientific paper

Electrical discharges are expected to occur on Mars, by analogy with the high electric fields generated in terrestrial dust devils, which should break down the low-pressure Martian atmosphere. Previous laboratory work has supported this by reporting electrical discharges from Mars analogue environments. We have reproduced one such experiment, and found that many of the results obtained can be reproduced by triboelectric charging of the walls of the vessel used, with no dust or sand present.
