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.

Comparison of plasma focus calculations

The Physics of Fluids, 1982
A simple model for the current history of plasma focus experiments is presented. The presence of a leak current which does not pass through the plasma sheath is allowed. Results are found to compare quite well with those of much more sophisticated two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic calculations.
