Gliding Arc Discharge plasma has properties of both thermal and non-thermal plasma conditions. Gliding arc discharge plasma in the atmospheric pressure with argon/nitrogen and its characteristics are described. Some experimental results about alternating current gliding arc plasma generator have been obtained. It seems that the current density strongly depends on the gas, and increased with increasing discharge current and gas flow rate. Also, the discharge current of gliding arc Discharge plasma in Nitrogengas is greater than one in Argon gas because of Nitrogen gas need to higher breakdown voltage than Argon gas. The intensity of gliding arc discharge plasma increased with increasing the gas flow rate. In addition to the oscillograms of discharge current in each case of Argon & Nitrogen were obtained. Electron temperatures of Argon and Nitrogen plasma were calculated to be 22800 K, 8400 K. The characteristics of both Argon & Nitrogen gases in atmospheric pressure were investigated like current density, electron density with flow rates (5, 10, 20, and 40) Standard Cubic foot per Hour. All the experimental results were tabulated.
