Evaluation of a New Kind of Z-Pinch-Based Space Propulsion Engine: Theoretical Foundations and Design of a Proof-of-Concept Experiment
This paper explores a recently proposed scalable z-pinch-based space propulsion engine in greater detail. This concept involves a “modified plasma focus with a tapered anode that transports current from a pulsed power source to a consumable portion of the anode in the form of a hypodermic needle tub...
