Space propulsion is unique among many proposed applications of the dense plasma focus in being critically dependent on availability a scaling theory that well-grounded physics, conformity with existing experimental knowledge and applicable to experimentally untested configurations. This paper derives such first-principles-based illustrates its application novel space concept, where sheath emplo...

A recent comprehensive review paper has summarized the current experimental state of knowledge on question existence a poloidal component magnetic field in dense plasma focus and indirect evidence indicating its prominent role neuron emission. This Letter looks at as curved, azimuthally continuous conductor moving small but nonzero geomagnetic with along device axis. The motional electric then ...
