Abstract
A circuit diagram and the main characteristics of a plasma dynamic generator, which is intended for forming intense shock waves as a result of an ablation of substances in a discharge, are described. The intense shock waves are entirely free of current and are produced in a wide pressure range in gases of various chemical and ionization composition.
