The electric field of the electrodes immersed into the rotating plasmas

Abstract

The possibility of using an additional deflection electrodes for plasma separation of matter by mass in a reflex discharge is considered in the article. Two types of the additional electrodes configuration are used. The first type of electrodes is oriented transversely to the direction of plasma rotation; the second type is oriented along it. It is shown that the presence of additional electrodes of the first type leads to a decrease in the discharge current by 4 times. The electrodes prevent the rotation of the plasma, and as a consequence, there is no electric field between the electrodes. Electrodes of the second type do not prevent the plasma rotation and therefore an electric field can exist between them.
