ABSTRACT:
A device for accelerating projectiles from a launching tube by means of an electrically heated plasma and two electrodes between which burns an electric arc so as to heat the plasma. To cause the pressure for accelerating the projectile in the launching tube to be as high as possible, the two electrodes and thus the electric arc which heats the plasma are disposed within a rear portion of the projectile.
