Plasma circuit breaker in a magnetic field as a high-power ion flux generator

It is ascertained that plasma circuit breaker (PCB) in the external magnetic field of acute-anguled geometry in the mode when PCB serves as inductive storage loading is a natural magnetoizolated diode. Using PCB as an ion emitter and as a high-voltage generator it proved possible in case of full electron magnetiuzation to attain the maximum efficiency of the storage. The density of ion current evaluated by the measured energy density for 30 J/cm2 thermocouple and by the energy of 1.5 MeV constitutes 100 A/cm2. The given method of ion generation is very effective when high ion currents with a high energy are required
