I haven't seen that picture but based on earlier stuff I've seen that axial magnetic field acts as a guide for the expanding plasma - the plasma first travels axially and then intersects the transverse field at the ends,
when it hits the transverse field, the electrons spiral towards one electrode and the positive species spiral to the opposite electrode with the electrodes connected to a load On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 9:43 PM, David Roberson <dlrober...@aol.com> wrote: > I agree Bob.
