PLASMA CAPACITOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4815556
A plasma-type capacitor is designed which is useful for the storage and rapid discharge of very large amounts of electrical energy. The capacitor comprises an input line, an output line, a pair of concentric electrodes defining a chamber, and means for establishing within the chamber a high-intensity rotating disc of plasma with a high dielectric constant. A switch may be connected to the output line for discharging the plasma energy across a load. (D.L.C.)
