MEASUREMENTS OF VELOCITY AND MOMENTUM WITH A PULSED T-TUBE PLASMA GENERATOR. Aerophysics Research Memorandum No. 26
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4171453
In preliminary studies concerning the use of plasma acceleration for propulsion purposes, a series of measurements was made of velocity and momentum of plasma bursts both in single-shot and pulsed operation over a range of pressures and input energies for various magnitudes and directions of magnetic field at the gaseous discharge. The effect of magnetic field on acceleration of the plasma and its contribution to the momentum transferred to a ballistic pendulum are discussed. Extrapolation was made of power input for the small thrust obtained to that required for a one pound thrust over the range of pressures and efficiencies investigated. (auth)
