Very high dielectric constunts can easily be achieved by means of an ionized gas in a strong magnetic field. When an orthogonal electric field is applied, the resultant particle drift stores electrical energy. In a coaxial capacitor, which makes use of a rotating plasma disk, dielectric constants in the range 10/sup 6/ to 10/sup 8/ have been measured. The potential usefulness of hydromagnetic capacitors in fast-discharge work is considered. (auth)
