FIELD: plasma engines; and is intended for use in those cases, when a simple ecologically pure source of mechanical or electric energy is required. SUBSTANCE: the novelty consists in filling of the discharge chamber with air, connection of a high-voltage spark gap to a regulated impulse generator, and placing of the chamber in a transverse magnetic field and introduction of two conducting busbars in the chamber. The magnetic field is jet up by an electromagnet with an unclosed magnetic core enveloping the chamber; the electromagnet coil is connected to the impulse generator output. Obligatory operating conditions are as follows: impulse voltage applied to the spark gap = 10 kV, min; impulse duration - 0.1 ms, max.; change-over of the impulse generator output just after the high-voltage impulse and application of a low-voltage impulse of a high output power (high current) to the spark gap (without) any pause, then follows a pause, and the process is periodically repeated. The pause duration is regulated. EFFECT: protection of environment, expansion of functional capabilities of plasma engines. |
