The electrothermal instability occurs extremely quickly, in a few microseconds.
2.
One of the most successful alternative technologies remains electrothermal-chemical ignition.
3.
The XM-291 is the best existing example of a working electrothermal-chemical gun.
4.
Because of the difficulty cooling the lines underground, there will be stronger positive electrothermal feedback.
5.
Thus the Joule heating amplifies a change in temperature, an effect known as positive electrothermal feedback.
6.
This electrothermal process converts electromagnetic energy into thermal energy by inducing current through the formation using excitor electrodes.
7.
For tanks, it seems that Electrothermal-chemical technology might be more practical for the near future.
8.
The transition edge sensor typically maintains the temperature through negative electrothermal feedback associated with changes in internal electrical power.
9.
This is known as negative electrothermal feedback, as the change in Joule heating opposes the change in temperature.
10.
Other plasma research includes modeling wall ablation from directed energy weapons and the plasma-propellant interaction in electrothermal chemical guns.
