Abstract

ALTHOUGH various thermonuclear devices such as Scylla 1 employ electrodeless discharges to generate strong shock waves in a gas such as deuterium, with the exception of some exploratory experiments of Janes and Patrick2, there are no reports of attempts to study the basic phenomena in such devices. An investigation of electromagnetically driven shock waves generated by this method is therefore being undertaken at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Foulness.
