IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO GAS DISCHARGE APPARATUS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4160194

Gas discharge apparatus of the type in which a pulsed ring discharge is induced in a gas in a torus with a thick electrically conducting wall (cf. Patent No. 32811/56) is modified in such a way that eddy currents in the inner wall are reduced and the equilibrium axis of the current channel is placed closer to the continuous axis of the torus rather than to the outer wall. This modification is brought about by increasing the electric resistance of the inner wall; this may be done either by slotting the inner wall and filling the slots with insulating material or forming the wall out of high-resistance material. (D.L.C.)
