| Abstract: | The basis of a simple theoretical analysis by Stine and Watson of the behavior of a wall-constricted plasma generator is considered. Experimental results are presented for a plasma generator designed from gas transport properties and theory. In general the agreement between theory and measured performance of the plasma generator indicates that the underlying physical principles are reasonably well understood. |
