Oh, one more thing, the 20 amps - 60 amps confusion is my fault. I am speaking of two different systems with different pumping cavities one that produces 20 MW at 3 kHz and the other 14.5 MW at 3 kHz but different voltages. Consider the system that produces 20 amps accross the tube travel in one...
This is a Hall closed-loop generator, and yes, plasma is travelling from one end to the other, but each pin is collecting the current continuously over the entire travel from one end to the other until the plasma reverses travel. There are two plasma pumping chambers at each end of the plasma...
Itsmoked, thank you for your comments. If the current exposed to the pins along the tube where plasma oscillates back and forth why is it that the current seen by all pins along the tube (in one direction) cannot be additive? If rectifying each pin is the appropriate solution. Getting to DC...
Dave,
Good point, however, think of this: in my previous example 100 pins are set along a 10 inch plasma tube. The plasma is oscillating back and forth at 6 kHz. This means that a full square wave (positive and negative) is obtained at 3 kHz (a period of 333 microseconds); 167 microseconds for...
Thank you for your responses. I guess you deserve more information. The devise is a scalable MHD system. We create plasma at a rate of 6,000 pulses per second (or less) and deliver it through a discharge tube. At the other end of the tube we are able to recycle, reenergize and redirect the...
I am a plasma physics innovator. I just completed the design of a power generator using plasma-MHD. The system outputs square waves at approximately 3000 Hz with powers output between 2.5 MW (500 Hz) to 20 MW (3 kHz). Does anybody know how I can convert this to useable utility power frequency...
