Simple Method to Control the Nonlinear Dynamics of a Ball of Fire in a DP Machine Plasma

Abstract

We present a simple experimental method to obtain harmonic oscillations of the current in the presence of a ball of fire, in a DP machine plasma. By insertion of a coil in the external electrical circuit we can suppress all the higher harmonics, transforming the nonlinear oscillations into sinusoidal ones.
