Abstract

The main results of theoretical and experimental studies of low-temperature magnetized (β>1) nonequilibrium-ionization plasma properties are reported. Such plasma is found to be more stable as compared to the equilibrium-ionization one. Development of ionization instability in such plasma results in the formation of striae oriented perpendicularly to the plasma velocity and not decreasing its effective electric conductivity. Thus, the possibility exists of designing an effective MHD-generator operating with the inert-gas plasma without admixtures in closed-cycle installations.
