摘要

We study the possibilities of developing electrodeless plasma jet engines on the basis of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharge. The efficiency of using the working substance in the engine is achieved by increasing the speed of its outflow, which is determined by the maximum electron energy achievable in the ECR discharge. The work involved the measurement of the energy distribution function of the electrons emitted from a discharge maintained in a simple magnetic trap by high-power microwave radiation in the continuous-wave regime. A discharge combustion mode is discovered, which realizes a nonequilibrium electron energy distribution function characterized by the presence of a clearly expressed hot fraction with a characteristic energy of more than 100 keV.
