Method for electrically activating plasma beam generator for firing e.g. machine gun, involves arranging end of material close to anode, and performing evaporation motion for material to generate power in direction from anode to cathode

摘要

The method involves connecting an anode (4) and a cathode (5) with corresponding pins of a pulse generator (10), and inducing and maintaining a plasma flow in the direction of the anode to the cathode. The anode is heated up to high temperature, and voltage pulse is managed between the anode to the cathode from the pulse generator. An end of a dielectric material (2) is arranged close to the anode, and an evaporation motion is performed for the material to generate plasma power in the direction from the anode to the cathode. An independent claim is also included for a plasma beam igniter including a bullet.
