Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0242501A1] 1. Apparatus for accelerating a projectile (14) located in a barrel (10) which is closed at one end and using an electrically heated plasma, wherein two electrodes (11, 100) are provided for the production of the plasma, the first electrode (11) being positioned coaxially in the breech end part of the barrel (10) and the second electrode (100) being constructed as an annular electrode, characterised by the fact that the second electrode (100) is situated at the breech end of the barrel (10) and that the electrodes (11, 100) together with the projectile (14) to be accelerated, form a gapped discharge space (15).
