  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. Plasma propulsion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. These exist in many forms (see electric ...

  5. Debye sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye_sheath

    Debye sheath. The Debye sheath (also electrostatic sheath) is a layer in a plasma which has a greater density of positive ions, and hence an overall excess positive charge, that balances an opposite negative charge on the surface of a material with which it is in contact. The thickness of such a layer is several Debye lengths thick, a value ...

  6. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma-enhanced_chemical...

    PECVD machine at LAAS technological facility in Toulouse, France. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is a chemical vapor deposition process used to deposit thin films from a gas state (vapor) to a solid state on a substrate. Chemical reactions are involved in the process, which occur after creation of a plasma of the reacting gases.

  7. Fasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting

    Fasting is abstention from eating, and sometimes drinking. However, from a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight (before "breakfast"), or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal. [1] Metabolic changes in the fasting state begin ...

  8. 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]

  9. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    The plasma approximation: The plasma approximation applies when the plasma parameter Λ, [26] representing the number of charge carriers within the Debye sphere is much higher than unity. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] It can be readily shown that this criterion is equivalent to smallness of the ratio of the plasma electrostatic and thermal energy densities.
