Abstract
979, 090. Thermonuclear apparatus. EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY (EURATOM). Sept. 13,1963 [Sept. 19,1962], No. 36221/63. Heading G6P. [Also in Division H1] A plasma gun comprises two coaxial and axially spaced ionizing electrodes between which a quantity of gas can be liberated; a battery of condensers connected between the electrodes through a spark gap, the discharge of the condensers being arranged to ionize the gas to form an expandable ring of plasma; and a third electrode external to and coaxial with the first two electrodes, of which one is arranged towards the front of the gun and is connected to the third electrode through a second battery of condensers. Referring to Fig. 4B gas can be admitted to the space between electrodes 2 and 3 via a tank 20 and a pneumatically operated valve 8 (the valve operating mechanism not being shown in the drawing). A condenser battery is then discharged, e.g. through a spark gap, across electrodes 2 and 3 to create a ring of plasma which expands. A second condenser battery is connected between electrode 2 and a surrounding electrode 6 and discharges through the ring of plasma, and the magnetic field produced by the current drives the plasma towards the open end of the gun. The gun may be used for producing thermonuclear reactions or for propulsion.
