Errata: Plasma Heating in Stochastic Electric Fields

Plasma instabilities in high electric fields.

A theory about induced electric current and heating in plasma

The traditional generalized Ohm’s law in MHD (Magnetohydrodynamics) does not explicitly present the relation of electric currents and electric fields in fully ionized plasma, and leads to some unexpected concepts, such as “the magnetic frozen-in plasma”, magnetic reconnection etc. In the single fluid model, the action between electric current and magnetic field is not considered. In the two-flu...

Stochastic acceleration in turbulent electric fields generated by 3D reconnection.

Electron and proton acceleration in three-dimensional electric and magnetic fields is studied through test particle simulations. The fields are obtained by a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation of magnetic reconnection in slab geometry. The nonlinear evolution of the system is characterized by the growth of many unstable modes and the initial current sheet is fragmented with format...

Plasma Acceleration and Heating Using Hybrid Magnetic Fields

The repulsive force between two wires with large currents flowing in opposite directions through the wires can be used to propel a light circular conductor located above a massive ring. Then the axial velocity can reach 500 km/s and an auxiliary constant magnetic field controls the radial velocity. This allows to get a high concentration of energy at any distance from the laboratory equipment. ...
