Description

A compact hydrogen plasma gun system was designed and tested. There are two rings of graphite and two rings of Ti hydride between coaxial electrodes. Ti hydride is utilized as a reservoir of hydrogen. The surface flashover is taken advantage to produce plasma. The produced plasma density is 1010 cm-3-1012 cm-3 in a volume of a column with radius 1-2 cm and length of 60-80 cm. The plasma existing time is over 400 μs
