Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6636612· OSTI ID:6636612

A device is described for the inversion of direct current to alternating current. The main feature is the use of a rotating plasma arc in crossed electric and magnetic fields as a switch. This device may provide an economic alternative to other inversion methods in some circumstances.
