Emission of poloidal magnetic flux from a dense plasma focus

A recent comprehensive review paper has summarized the current experimental state of knowledge on question existence a poloidal component magnetic field in dense plasma focus and indirect evidence indicating its prominent role neuron emission. This Letter looks at as curved, azimuthally continuous conductor moving small but nonzero geomagnetic with along device axis. The motional electric then an azimuthal arising from radial velocity, outward-directed near cathode throughout discharge, inward directed implosion phase anode. would drive plasma. electromechanical work done against associated force density converts kinetic energy into density. act source flux emission focus, which been experimentally demonstrated recently.
