SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND CONTAINING A PLASMA |
(57) A novel plasma generation and containment system includes a first electrode, a second
electrode, a power source, and an electromagnet. The first electrode and the second
electrode are electrically coupled via a wire to form an open circuit. The voltage
is asserted on the open circuit to form a spark between the first electrode and the
second electrode to form a closed circuit. Then, a current is asserted on the closed
circuit to form a plasma between the first electrode and the second electrode. The
electromagnet provides a magnetic field to contain and compress the plasma.
