  • Plasma Chemistry, splitting water Burn on Demand
    Hello,
    I'm not trying to sell you a torch, just using it as a reference
    to a
    device that works: [link]
    Some work has been done for the sake of splitting the water
    molecule and
    separating the hydrogen from the oxygen.

  • Re: Fusion Failure now some success.
    I have now used a high voltage source to ionise the hydrogen and generate a
    plasma. I put a coil of a tuned circuit round the tube with the hydrogen in
    it and the plasma moved away from the coil as predicted by the theory. The
    small current induced in the tuned circuit repelled the plasma so it moved

  • 3D Hybrid particle-in-cell
    Hello!
    Currently I'm simulate the plasma cloud expansion using my 3D hybrid
    PIC code.
    Model description and some results of my code are available at
    [link].
    The simulation results are reasonable in general.
    But some contraversal results [link]

  • how do you make plasma?
    Can you make plasma using a coil with a tube of low pressure hydrogen gas
    inside? If so can someone give me details or point to a book that gives full
    details for making a plasma like that.

  • free materials about atomic structure, relativity, gravitation,electromagnetism etc
    Hello,
    Maybe someone is interested in reading and eventually makes comments
    on some free materials (atomic structure, relativity, gravitation,
    electromagnetism) at following link: [link].
    The free materials are excerpts from books and show another face of
    physics.

  • plasma chamber coating
    Hi Group,
    I need to construct a plasma chamber for oxygen or hydrogen plasma

    the chamber. I know that painting by carbon works fine. I was wandering
    is there any better coating methods + materials for this purpose, where
    the coating is more stable and sustain longer? Any advice would be very

    Alfven waves are considered longitudinal but there should also be a
    wave in the direction of motion, a transversal wave. Why isn't this

    Almost identical expressions to the Alfven wave are possible to
    determine by observing the expressions for magnetic pressure and

  • help on electron detection
    I'm working on a research topic that involves detection of secondary
    electrons induced by energetic ions. Secondary electron emission may
    originate from the substrate from which ions emerge, or ions may be forced
    to pass through a thin carbon foil (thin enough not to generate too much
    straggling and cause loss of resolution) and secondary electrons are emitted

  • Any plasma simulation text recommendations?
    I own two texts that specifically address simulating plasma physics on
    computers:
    "Plasma Physics via Computer Simulation" by Birdsall and Langdon, 1991.

    essentially all such work was carried out exclusively
    in the classified security sector, and none discussed
    in the the public sector.
