FIELD: physics.SUBSTANCE: plasma accelerator is designed to generate traction when moving space objects and for producing composite powders, sputtering and processing materials. Sections of the anode of the accelerator are made from flat pipes with outlets for feeding a working medium through the anode. The pipes are arranged with the width in a radial plane with a gap between each other and are directed along an axis. The outlets are directed an angle of less than 90° to the axis of the accelerator. The working surface of the anode is formed by ends of the outlets with openings. The bases of the pipes are hermetically connected to a collector. The collector and the inlet of the working medium are mounted on a current lead. The distance from the face of the cathode to the outlets is greater than half the diameter of the anode. A neutral shield is mounted outside the anode.EFFECT: high efficiency of the accelerator.6 cl, 6 dwg |
