Physical Principles of Operation of a Two-Stage Light Gas Magnetoplasma Launcher for High-Vacuum Ballistic Tests
The results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the operation and a two-stage light gas magnetoplasma launcher are presented. An optical method for measuring the velocity of small bodies (2–10 mm) has been developed and used in testing a combined gas discharger for micro- and macropart...

Summary: | The results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the operation and a two-stage light gas magnetoplasma launcher are presented. An optical method for measuring the velocity of small bodies (2–10 mm) has been developed and used in testing a combined gas discharger for micro- and macroparticle acceleration. The experimental results are in good agreement with the mathematical model of the two-stage light gas gun in the approximation of constancy of the accelerating pressure behind the striker. |
