In the plasma generator unit the evaporator 1 is welded to<br />

cathode 6 <strong>and</strong> comprises with it the main force part. <strong>The</strong> plasma<br />

generator itself includes part 2 <strong>and</strong> nozzle 3, which is also the<br />

insulation spacer between the plasma generator <strong>and</strong> its accelerator.<br />

<strong>The</strong> accelerator unit consists <strong>of</strong> anode 4, cathode 6, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

winding <strong>of</strong> the electromagnet 5. <strong>The</strong> cathode 6 is common for the<br />

plasma generator <strong>and</strong> the accelerator. It is a multilayer all-welded<br />

shell construction <strong>of</strong> heat resistant material <strong>and</strong> has a preheater<br />

7 <strong>of</strong> tungsten. In the feed system is the container 8 for liquid<br />

metal, electromagnetic pump 9, <strong>and</strong> dose device 10.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cooling system consists <strong>of</strong> container 11, electromagnetic<br />

pump 12, metal distributor 13, <strong>and</strong> cooler-radiator 14, 15.<br />

<strong>The</strong> electric supply system ,onsists <strong>of</strong> a dc source 16,<br />

system, current distribution <strong>and</strong> commutation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> working medium <strong>of</strong> the electromagnetic pump is fed to the<br />

4 distributor, then to the collector <strong>of</strong> the evaporator housing <strong>of</strong><br />

the motor <strong>and</strong> to the cooling system. <strong>The</strong> vaporous working medium<br />
