Research On Pulse Plasma Propeller In Water

Exploding wires phenomenon is that if the high-density energy is poured into metal wire with small transverse section in a short time from high power pulse source, the metal wire will explode into gaseity and generate significant shock wave. The .fundamental reason of the generated shock wave is the plasma. The plasma propulsion technology is applied abroad in spaceflight industry field as the assistant power source, which has the excellences such as little power exhausting and safe' credibility. Traditional electromagnetic hydrodynamic propeller in water, which depends on super conduct technique, generates the stronger thrust. But the disadvantages that have strict request with super conduct material and difficult realization and low efficiency restrict the application of this technique in a large of degree.In the summarize of plasma propulsion and discharging in water and exploding wires phenomenon, this paper combines technology in three fields hereinbefore. An experimental pulse plasma propeller model has been designed. The main characteristic of pulse plasma propulsion in water is great propulsion in moment, whose average propulsion is smaller. So it may be useful for side face propulsion of ships in static state as the assistant propulsion. The paper firstly expatiates the basic configuration, work theory, MCU control system and design method of the model. And then it introduces the hardware circuit design of the main circuit and MCU control system and a part of software flow chart. Finally it gives some correlative graphs of experimental data by analysis of experimental wave and discusses the arisen problem in experiment course.
