GEAR FOR REALIZATION OF PINCH EFFECT WITH USE OF CONDUCTORS BLASTED ELECTRICALLY Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: technology of high-temperature plasma generated by conductors blasted electrically. SUBSTANCE: gear for realization of pinch effect with use of conductors blasted electrically has ring coaxial electrodes arranged along axis at some distance one from another, two or more wires each contacting with one end one ring electrode and with the other end - another ring electrode and pulse source of electric energy connected to ring electrodes. Each wire is manufactured in the form of helical line of variable diameter which equals diameter of ring electrodes in some plane parallel to planes of ring electrodes and located between them. Diameter of helical lines of each wire is equal to zero and curvature of each wire at point of crossing with this plane is different from zero. EFFECT: location of neck is completely determined as in X pinch and snake and wriggle instability are simultaneously suppressed by scheme similar to S pinch. 1 cl, 1 dwg
