The gas is around 3000K in the combustion chamber and cool down as it expend at the exhaust of the nozzle. I believe it is slightly ionize but not enough to do anything.

Both techniques are made to work under vacuum with low density gases which is not my case.. Very interesting tho!

Yup, I want to make a high pressure plasma! I know well how to make plasma at low pressure, but at high pressure the ionization process seems very different and very low littérature is disponible...

Hello everybody Electrical engineer from Montreal, Quebec, Canada! I study the field of power electronics and I'm doing my master on low voltage modular multilevel converter. I am a passionate of rocketry and science in general. Been participating at the IREC which is the biggest rocketry...

Hello everybody! I have been thinking about something for a while now. I would like to make a magnetic nozzle for a rocket engine. Basically, I would like to ionize the hot and high pressure gaz in the combustion chamber and then use a strong magnetic field to adjust the nozzle throat...
