METHOD OF PRODUCING HIGH-ENERGY PULSE-PERIODIC PLASMA STREAMS IN GASES AT ATMOSPHERIC AND HIGH PRESSURE

摘要

FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: method of producing high-energy pulse-periodic plasma streams in gases at atmospheric and high pressure involves forming a plasma current shell in the channel of a plasma accelerator and electrodynamic acceleration thereof. In the channel of the accelerator, a region is formed in advance, having low density of gas with high degree of ionisation in the region of formation of the plasma shell. ^ EFFECT: lower breakdown voltage and higher uniformity on the perimeter of the plasma current shell. ^ 1 dwg
