Scientific paper

A PLASMA gun (or plasma source) has been developed which can project plasmoids1 (plasma-magnetic entities) across a magnetic field (in a vacuum) at speeds up to 107 cm./sec. A Taylor-instability jet2 produced in a plasma supported against gravity by magnetic field may thus be simulated and studied in the laboratory. The track left by the plasmoid in crossing a magnetic field is luminous1 because of the recombination light of the ions and electrons which have been left behind as `debris'. The track may thus be photographed.
