A prototype of a pulsed plasmatron containing semi-open cylindrical chamber with electrically exploding
copper conductors of large cross-section creating pulsed toroidal magnetic field, as well as electrically
exploding thin wires to create dense plasma being installed has been created and researched. The principle
of operation of the plasmatron is based on excitation of an induction discharge during the decay of magnetic
field in plasma created by electric explosion of thin wires. The authors have shown that in this case, autonomous
plasma formations with anomalous afterglow (about 60 ms) are formed. The aim of the work is to create
a pulsed plasmatron with an inductive discharge, as well as to experimentally estimate the parameters of
device prototype.
Key words: pulsed plasmatron, metal electric explosion, pulsed magnetic field, induction discharge,
long-lived autonomous plasma formations.
