titleOfInvention | Improvements in or relating to plasma accelerators |
abstract | 952,088. Particle accelerators. LITTON INDUSTRIES Inc. Oct. 6, 1960, No. 34309/60. Heading H1D. [Also in Division G6] A plasma accelerator in which a moving, preferably accelerating, magnetic field accelerates the plasma in the direction of motion of the field, is characterized in that the plasma forms a ring-shaped mass and that the direction of motion of the field substantially coincides with the axis through the ring-shaped mass so that the ring shape of the plasma is maintained during acceleration. In Fig. 2 gas passes periodically from chamber 24 through apertures in a rotatable shutter 36 to a combined annular nozzle and ionizing chamber formed by a conical ionizing electrode 28 and an associated baseplate 30 having a conjugate conical depression. After ionization, the gas is accelerated into chamber 16, which is maintained at low pressure, by the successive energization of coils 54-1 to 54-n. The gas may be deuterium, tritium, or helium 3. In another arrangement, Fig. 7, the plasma source comprises a chamber 20 containing mercury which can be vaporized by heater 200 and ionized by electrode 202. The accelerating structure comprises concentric cylindrical members 206, 208 each including a plurality of longitudinal laminates of ferromagnetic material stacked circumferentially round the member. The laminates are provided with slots to receive field windings which are energized by a polyphase generator 14. The density per unit length of the field winding turns for each exciting phase may vary as a constantly accelerating sinusoid. In a modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), designed as a hypersonic wind tunnel for simulating air movement at Mach 20 at an altitude of 200,000 feet, the plasma source is adapted to deliver ionized air to the accelerating structure. |
