Explosive force is generated in a fluid such as water enclosed in a strong steel cylinder by suddenly raising some of the fluid between concentrically placed and closely spaced electrode elements to the plasma state by means of a high voltage condenser bank with its power supply and a highly insulated electric switch in series electric circuitry with the condenser bank and the electrode elements. Means are employed to close switch contacts automatically when the power supply in parallel electric circuitry with the condenser bank has charged the condenser bank to an adjustable voltage value consistent with the explosive force required for a particular pumping need.
