PLASMA GENERATOR FOR AN ELECTROTHERMAL-CHEMICAL WEAPONS SYSTEM COMPRISING CERAMIC, METHOD OF FIXING THE CERAMIC IN THE PLASMA GENERATOR AND AMMUNITION ROUND COMPRISING SUCH A PLASMA GENERATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a plasma generator (4) for electrothermal and electrothermal-chemical weapons systems, the plasma generator being intended, via at least one emitted energy pulse, to form a plasma, which is designed to accelerate a projectile (3) along the barrel (11) of the weapons system in question, the plasma generator comprising a combustion chamber (20) having an axial combustion chamber channel (20' ) and a ceramic arranged inside the combustion chamber channel for insulating the combustion chamber. According to the invention the ceramic consists of a shrink- fixed, compressively pre-stressed ceramic tube (23). The invention also relates to a method for shrink-fixing the ceramic tube in the combustion chamber channel as well as an ammunition round comprising a plasma generator according to the invention.
