2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   Plasma cutting. Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication shops ...

3. Pinch (plasma physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinch_(plasma_physics)

   Basic mechanism. This is a basic explanation of how a pinch works. (1) Pinches apply a high voltage and current across a tube. This tube is filled with a gas, typically a fusion fuel such as deuterium. If the product of the voltage & the charge is higher than the ionization energy of the gas the gas ionizes. (2) Current jumps across this gap.

4. Talk:Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Plasma_cutting

   The flow rate DOES change, as the plasma reacts to the electric field in the torch and on the workpiece. - Toastydeath 04:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Reply . To give an idea of the flow rate while plasma cutting: The flow of a Hypertherm plasma 260A for mild steel uses 42 l/min for the plasma gas (O2) and 104 l/min for the shield gas (air).

5. Plasma torch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_torch

   Plasma torch. A plasma torch cutter. A plasma torch (also known as a plasma arc, plasma gun, plasma cutter, or plasmatron) is a device for generating a directed flow of plasma. [1][2][3] The plasma jet can be used for applications including plasma cutting, plasma arc welding, plasma spraying, and plasma gasification for waste disposal. [4]

6. Two-stream instability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stream_instability

   Two-stream instability. The two-stream instability is a very common instability in plasma physics. It can be induced by an energetic particle stream injected in a plasma, or setting a current along the plasma so different species ( ions and electrons) can have different drift velocities. The energy from the particles can lead to plasma wave ...

7. Plasma cleaning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cleaning

   Plasma cleaning. Fig. 1. The surface of a MEMS device is cleaned with bright, blue oxygen plasma in a plasma etcher to rid it of carbon contaminants. (100mTorr, 50W RF) Plasma cleaning is the removal of impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma or dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma created from ...

8. Plasma propulsion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_propulsion_engine

   Plasma propulsion engine. A plasma propulsion engine is a type of electric propulsion that generates thrust from a quasi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast with ion thruster engines, which generate thrust through extracting an ion current from the plasma source, which is then accelerated to high velocities using grids/ anodes.

9. Atmospheric-pressure plasma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric-pressure_plasma

   Atmospheric-pressure plasma. An atmospheric-pressure plasma jet formed by helium flowing through a concentric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) Atmospheric-pressure plasma (or AP plasma or normal pressure plasma) is a plasma in which the pressure approximately matches that of the surrounding atmosphere – the so-called normal pressure.
