STUDY OF HEATING AND ACCELERATION OF PLASMA BY MAGNETIC FIELDS
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate means of heating, accelerating, and channeling plasma jets by means of magnetic fields. The following investigations were performed: (1) Transient Electrodeless Discharge Experiments; (2) Steady-state Plasma Channelling Experiments; (3) The Punch Method of Compressing, Heating, and Confining a Plasma; (4) Relaxation Heating of a Plasma by Surface Interaction with a Magnetic Field; (5) Experiments on the Punch Method of Heating; (6) Propulsion Experiments with the Asymmetric Punch; (7) Magnetohydrodynamic Shear Heating; (8) The Two-Coil Induction Method of Measuring Conductivity; and (9) MHD Channel Flow of a Rotating F LUID.
