Abstract
A family of plasma guns supplying highly ionized carbon plasma is described. The guns are simple and inexpensive to construct and are pulsed by small capacitor banks of a few hundred joules. The output consists of 1017–1018 multiply ionized carbon ions traveling at about 107 cm/s. Neutral output is very low and arrives well after the ionized carbon. The guns and pulsers are very reliable.Keywords
