Acceleration of projectiles to hypervelocities using a series of imploded annular plasma discharges
A mass accelerator system using a series of imploded annular plasma pinches to propel projectiles of mass ranging from grams to kilograms up to high velocities is analyzed theoretically. Such a device would have applications ranging from basic materials and impact studies to space-probe launching an...

| Zusammenfassung: | A mass accelerator system using a series of imploded annular plasma pinches to propel projectiles of mass ranging from grams to kilograms up to high velocities is analyzed theoretically. Such a device would have applications ranging from basic materials and impact studies to space-probe launching and impact fusion. |
