ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating and utilizing a compound plasma configuration is disclosed. The plasma configuration includes a central toroidal current surrounded by a generally ellipsoidal mantel of ionized particles. The preferred methods of forming this compound plasma configuration include the steps of forming a helical ionized path in a gaseous medium and simultaneously discharging a high potential through the ionized path to produce a helical current which collapses on itself to produce a torroidal current, or generating a toroidal plasmoid, supplying magnetic energy to the plasmoid, and applying gas pressure external to the plasmoid. The apparatus of the present invention includes a pressure chamber wherein the compound plasma configuration can be isolated or compressed by fluid or other forms of mechanical pressure.
