Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a rail to be damaged thermally. CONSTITUTION:In a rail gun of a nucleus fusion pellet incidence device, a switch of a power supply circuit 1 is turned on, a large amount of current flows to a plasma armature 2, a flying object 4 is slid at a high speed according to a Rorentz force which is generated at that time, and then it is discharged from discharge hole 6 between rails 3, 3 while the flying object 4 is installed within the discharge hole 6 between mutually parallel rails 3, 3 so that it can be slid. Resistance of plasma is reduced with a gas with a low ionization voltage as the plasma armature 2 and temperature increase as Joule heat is suppressed, thus enabling temperature of plasma to be reduced. Also, since a cation collision due to voltage drop on a surface of the cathode side rail 3 causes the cathode side rail 3 to be damaged, the cathode side rail 3 is constituted by a material with a low work function for enabling thermions to be emitted from the cathode surface easily, thus enabling thermal damage of the rail 3 to be reduced.

The conventional rail gun described above has the following problems. That is, in order to improve energy efficiency, each rail is made of a material having high electric conductivity such as copper. However, since the surface of the rail is exposed to plasma at a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, if the rail is made of a material such as copper having a low melting point, the rail will melt and evaporate at an early stage. This point is the same in the case of using a metal material such as tungsten having a high melting point, and melting occurs, the surface of the rail is thermally damaged, and repeated firing or continuous firing cannot be endured.

The rail 3 when the velocity of the flying body 4 is several km / s and the driving current is several tens to several hundreds kA (in the case of large current),
The main damage factors of No. 3 are radiant heat of plasma and collision of cations in the vicinity of the cathode. Solving this is indispensable for improving the performance of the rail gun. Therefore, in the present invention, (1) first, a gas having a low ionization voltage is supplied to the plasma armature 2;
As a result, the resistance of the plasma is lowered, the temperature rise as the Jewil heat is suppressed, and the temperature of the plasma 2 is lowered. (2) Further, among the rails 3, 3, cation collision due to voltage drop on the surface of the cathode-side rail 3 damages the cathode-side rail 3, so as a countermeasure against this, thermionic emission from the cathode surface is facilitated. The cathode side rail 3 was made of a material having a low work function.

The reason is that the formula of Richardson-Dussieuman summarizing the relation between [current density j] emitted from the electrode in thermionic emission and [electrode surface temperature T, work function Vw of the electrode] is summarized.

[Equation 1] This is because the work density Vw is lowered, and the current density j exponentially increases. In the rail gun shown in FIG. 1, a gas having a low ionization voltage is used for the plasma armature 2. Even if the plasma armature temperature is low, the ionization degree is high and the plasma resistance is lowered. The heating of the jule is suppressed, and the thermal influence on the rail 3 is also reduced.

This can be explained with reference to FIG. 3, which summarizes the above equation. The line in FIG. 3 shows the current density required for acceleration, which can be calculated from the driving current and the length of plasma,
A material having a boiling point below this line must be heated above the boiling point to obtain a predetermined current density, and the material will evaporate. On the other hand, if the material has a low work function such as Y 2 O 3 , a sufficiently high current density can be obtained below the boiling point (W-Y 2 O 3 is not represented by Y 2 O 3). Is considered to have a work function equal to or lower than).
