SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING PLASMA AND MAINTAINING THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF PLASMA Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC H05H1/26 H05H1/54 

FIELD: plasma technology.

SUBSTANCE: system for generating magnetised plasma and maintaining the magnetic field of plasma comprises a plasma generator for generating magnetised plasma and a flow preserver wherein the generated magnetised plasma is injected and retained. The central conductor comprises an upper central conductor and a lower central conductor, electrically combined forming a single integral conductor. The upper central conductor and the outer electrode form an annular plasma propagation channel. The lower central conductor protrudes from the plasma generator and extends into the flow preserver so that the end of the inner electrode is electrically connected with the wall of the flow preserver. The power supply system provides a forming current pulse and a supporting current pulse to the central conductor to form magnetised plasma, inject such plasma into the flow preserver, and maintain the magnetic field of the plasma.

EFFECT: technical result is an increase in the reliability of operation of the system and generation of plasma with a high power density.
