[edit] Scaling

The article states that the energy density, temperature, and electron density are essentially constant for machines which vary by three orders of magnitude in total energy. What are the typical values for these three parameters. How does the plasma beta vary? --Art Carlson 12:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plasma Gun

A plasma gun is similar to a Plasma Focus, but not the same. The configuration of the electrodes is entirely different. Moreover there is no pinch in plasma guns. The aim of plasma guns is simply to spit out, in a given ambient with proper pressure, plasma jets, not to pinch them.

I've qualified the difference, is that OK? --Iantresman 20:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Video removed

The link to a Google TechTalks video explaining operation of DPF and its possible use for power generations was removed. Why? TristanDC (talk) 09:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
