Engineering Physics Annotation << Back PRODUCTION OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE PLASMA DURING BREAKDOWN IN HIGH-PRESSURE GASES IN A STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD O.A. OMAROV, N.O. OMAROVA, P.H. OMAROVA, A.A. KORNILOVA This paper presents the possibility of constructing a pulsed-period thermonuclear reactor. The problem is solved by creating a small volume of fully ionized plasma of a high-pressure spark discharge with a high concentration of charged particles lasting ~50 microseconds with an intrinsic magnetic field of up to 100 kOe (due to the effect of a pulsed z-pinch), which is placed in a strong longitudinal external magnetic field of up to 500 kOe with a period of ~600 microseconds. This system is a magnetic trap with mirrors on the cathode and anode spots. The electric field transfers energy to the spark channel plasma for 50 microseconds. The retention time of the high temperature plasma in a strong magnetic field is ~50 microseconds. Keywords: hot plasma, strong magnetic field, z-pinch, high pressure spark discharge, electric field, energy. DOI: 10.25791/infizik.1.2021.1185 Pp. 30-38.
