Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0242500A1] 1. Device for accelerating a projectile which is situated in a barrel closed at one end, by means of an electrically heated plasma, wherein two electrodes are provided for the production of the plasma, the first electrode being positioned coaxially in that part of the barrel which is on the breech side and the second electrode being constructed as a ring electrode, characterised by the fact that all parts (81, 82, 83) subject to significant wear, including the two electrodes (81, 82) are removable and replaceable, and that the parts (81, 82, 83) subject to significant wear, together with the projectile (80), are combined in a removable and replaceable cartridge (8) on the breech-side part (9) of the barrel (90), and that the two electrodes (82, 83) form, together with the projectile (80) a gap-shaped discharge chamber (88).
