MPD THRUSTER FOR ACCELERATING ELECTRODELESS PLASMA, AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATING ELECTRODELESS PLASMA USING MPD THRUSTER

摘要

Electrodeless plasma is supplied to a space (S) between a cathode (22) and an anode (23) to lower the electrical resistivity in the space, and the electrodeless plasma is accelerated by Lorentz force induced by an axial magnetic field component (B x ) and a radial magnetic field component (B y ) generated in the space (S), and by an electric current (I ac ) flowing through the space (S).
