Spatial segregation of plasma components

摘要

A closed plasma channel (“CPC”) superconductor which, in a first embodiment, is comprised of an elongated, close-ended vacuum conduit comprising a cylindrical wall having a longitudinal axis and defining a transmission space for containing an ionized gas of vapor plasma (hereinafter “plasma components”), the plasma components being substantially separated into regionalized channels parallel to the longitudinal axis in response to a static magnetic field produced within the transmission space. Each channel is established along the entire length of the transmission space. At least one channel is established comprised primarily of free-electrons which provide a path of least resistance for the transmission of energy therethrough. Ionization is established and maintained by the photoelectric effect of a light source of suitable wavelength to produce the most conductive electrical transmission medium. Various embodiments of the subject method and apparatus are described including a hybrid system for the transmission of alternating current or, alternatively, multi-pole EM fields through the cylindrical wall and direct current or charged particles through the stratified channels.
