A THEORY OF AN EROSION PLASMA SOURCE,

Abstract

The paper covers theoretical research on the process of electrodynamic acceleration of plasmoids, taking into account the thermal inertia of mass liberation and losses of energy due to plasma heatup and electrode erosion. The results obtained permit estimating the thrust and energy coefficients of the conversion of electrical energy into plasma flow enery. (Author)
