ABSTRACT:
Improved generation, insulated confinement and heating of ultra-high temperature steady-state plasmas in such devices as the optical plasmotron of Raizer and the freely floating plasma filament of Kapitza wherein the temperature of the plasma is increased by increasing the static pressure of the ambient medium (or decreasing the frequency of the radiant energy supply) while increasing the radiant energy supply's power and wherein the relationships between the ambient pressure, the amount of initially projected ionizing energy, the focal spot radius of this initial energy, the wavelength of the radiant energy supply, the transparency of the plasma, the rate of bremmstrahlung radiation energy losses, the power of the radiant energy supply and the ratio of the static pressure increase (or frequency decrease) are so optimized as to enable attainment of plasma temperatures more than an order of magnitude greater than hitherto attainable by any process of such a type.
