Unconventional plasma focus devices

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2006
The Plasma Focus (PF) characteristics have been investigated in the Two-Guns configuration (TWIN) with a 10-kJ class device. Electrodes with two different heads shapes, hollow (GYN) or hemispherical (PHAL), have been tested and the results show that the neutron yield is greater in the GYN configuration.

Plasma focus discharge on mercury

2008 IEEE 35th International Conference on Plasma Science, 2008
On January 14, 2008 the NASA space probe Messenger came within 200-km of Mercury, photographing a plasma focus discharge penumbra etched into the surface. The pattern recorded is identical to that etched on steel plates in experimental discharges: 112-rays from a discharge channel terminating at and producing a thick torus, here 40 km wide.

A Plasma Focus Interrupting Switch

1984
The feasibility of using a dense plasma focus (DPF) as a current interrupting device has been investigated. Specifically, a 34-kJ, Mather-type DPF was modified to accept a third electrode so that a discharge could be created between this electrode and the center electrode of the DPF by a 10-kJ inductive energy storage circuit.

The plasma focus and thermonuclear fusion

Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics, 1975
Present-day notions concerning the effects involved in a plasma focus are reviewed, the efficiency of various energy transmission channels in the device is analyzed, and some ideas relating to the possible extrapolation to larger devices are indicated.

15. Dense Plasma Focus

1971
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the dense plasma focus. Dense plasma focus (DPF) is a plasma discharge with plasma densities n > l0 l9 /cm 3 and temperatures of a few kilo electron volts lasting 100 to 150 nsec. The focus is conjectured to be a short but finite two-dimensional z -pinch forming near or at the end of a coaxial plasma ...

Numerical Studies of the Plasma Focus

The Physics of Fluids, 1971
The dynamical formation and structure of the plasma focus has been studied with a two-dimensional numerical fluid model. The extremely high kinetic energy densities obtained in the numerical fluid experiment as the result of adiabatic compression and viscous heating agree well with experiment.
