IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO GAS DISCHARGE APPARATUS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4118149
;
The discharge channel of a high-current ring discharge in a gas in a torus constituting the single-turn secondary winding of a pulse transformer may be stabilized after the eddy currents induced in the torus walls decay by installing a winding on the torus. The winding has two equal-turn portions connected in series opposition (currents flowing in opposite directions) and is arranged on the torus to produce a betatron-type transverse field within the torus when energized in synchronization with the primary winding; the betatron field prevents the discharge axis from expanding.
