THE HYDROMAGNETIC WAVE TUBE,

Abstract

An experimental study of the production of magnethydrodynamic waves is reported. This investigation attempts to experimentally answer the questions of energy coupling, modes of propagation, and to explore the possibility of cross modulation between electromagnetic and hydromagnetic waves. A laboratory device, called the Hydromagnetic Wave Tube, was constructed to accomplish this program. The physical construction of this device is outlined and a theoretical analysis of the anticipated ionization characteristics is presented. (Author)
