Abstract
In a plasma produced by a hydrogen‐loaded titanium electrode gun, the pertinent physical quantities—mass, velocity, angular divergence, ion species, and resistivity—are experimentally determined. This plasma is injected along the axis of the magnetic configuration of a loop coil, and also transverse to the field of two parallel coils. The observed motion of the plasma is described, and explained mainly by macroscopic interaction of the plasma with the field.
