Discharging circuit problems for Pulsed plasma thruster
Lomaikai, Welcome to the world of PPTs. There fustrating as hell and not as simple as papers and literature make out. First of all be extremely careful, PPTs are dangerous so always seek advice or work with good High voltage practices. Anywho, I've been working on PPTs for the past 6...- PeterShaw

How does entropy affect spacetime? Is this a fair statement to make...'If entropy is a measure of disorder, than as the disorder of a system increases spacetime flattens?'- PeterShaw

MATLAB Modeling pulsed plasma thruster discharge with capacitor initial conditions in Matlab
Hi Dankul, I did my PhD in pulsed plasma thrusters, the modelling of the discharge is not a trivial matter as the circuit acts as an LCR circuit, of which the capacitor and wire inductance is missing from your circuit. For a full description of a more complex 1 dimensional circuit model...- PeterShaw

Miniature spark generator for plasma thruster in vacuum
Had a bad day at work and my design for a spark generator failed, so I'm asking for help. My requirements: To create a spark in a hard vacuum environment (10^-6 mbarr) To be ultra miniature (as a guideline about 1cm^3 is the space available) Available power lines is 4.4v at 0.22A or 700V...- PeterShaw
