Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment is being conducted using two plasma streams with opposing velocities in a transverse magnetic field to observe the interaction of the two opposing polarization electric fields. The technique is a possible emans of loading a clased-field geometry. The two similar streams are not directly opposed but are displaced from one another along the magnetic field to increase the possibility of a significant interaction. The fast plasma produced by coaxial guns has a density up to 5 x 104 cm−3 and a directed velocity of 50 to 70 cm/[mu]sec. The resultant polarization field in kilogauss magnetic fields is of the order of kilovolts percentimeter. The lateral stream separation is 54 cm, and at magnetic fields below 3.0 kG the streams have a negligible effect on each other. At high fields (7.0 kG), the streams have a larger interaction under certain conditions, and an increase in density is observed. The effects when two streams differ widely in density and arrival time are discussed.
