A theoretical analysis predicts the possibility of obtaining, with the aid of stationary plasma accelerators and magnetoplasma compressors (MPC), plasma streams having very high parameters at relatively modest energy levels. However, the realization of this possibility encounters many complicated problems connected with the electromagnetic sheaths at the electrodes.
