ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a novel means of stabilizing a glow discharge device against electrothermal instabilities and electrode induced instabilities comprising imposing a magnetic field on the discharge current to create a sheared flow system within the discharge volume. There is further provided an apparatus for producing a stable high power glow discharge comprising an anode and a cathode adapted to be connected to an electric power source and, when so connected, to establish an electric field and a glow discharge between said anode and cathode and an electromagnet adapted to be connected to an electric power source and, when so connected, to establish a magnetic field across said electric field. This application relates to high power glow discharge devices and to a means of stabilizing such devices against electro-thermal instabilities and electrode induced instabilities.
