Initial Measurements on the Angular Distribution of Deuterium Plasma Produced by a Pulsed Spark Source (open access)

Initial Measurements on the Angular Distribution of Deuterium Plasma Produced by a Pulsed Spark Source

Abstract: "The deuterium plasma which is ejected by a 6000-ampere pulsed current through a rail-type spark source has a yield in the forward direction which is a factor of 5 to 10 greater than that in the perpendicular direction. This effect is believed to be due to the magnetic propulsion of the plasma."

Magnetic Acceleration of a Plasma by a Rail Source (open access)

Magnetic Acceleration of a Plasma by a Rail Source

Abstract: "Two parallel wires close together with an arc between them form a hairpin-type of current configuration which should magnetically propel the plasma of the arc. By the time-of-flight measurements with probes it has been demonstrated that directed translational energies of 290 ev can be imparted to deuterons in a plasma produced by a high-current pulsed arc at the tips of two titanium wires loaded with deuterium. It is believed that three deuterons are actually magnetically propelled."
