The possibility of using oscillatory mode to generate magnetic field that initiates induction discharge in
pulsed plasmatron to produce autonomous plasma formations is shown. To do this, the authors propose to
use discharge current circuit with pulse gas discharge in a plasma clot in semi-open cylindrical chamber
where a cathode is installed on the side of chamber closed end and an anode is located on the side of chamber
open end. In this case, a plasma clot is created due to metal electric explosion in the form of copper
wires installed on chamber sidewall. The aim of the work is to calculate the parameters of discharge cur-
rent circuit and the magnetic field created by it, and experimentally verify calculation results on a simplified
plasmatron structure.
Key words: pulsed plasmatron, metal electric explosion, plasma clot, pulsed gas discharge, pulsed magnetic
field.
