Plasma Rocket

not me I'm just a guy who came across the idea while plasma cutting

Yes look at the plasma cutter it is key to developing this kind of tecnology
I tested one as a rocket I just used a bigger (homemade) electrode and obviously changed the casing of the parts it worked for a bit but then the power ran out on it and it burnt up, Id say it made it at least 150 meters off the ground. I had no idea Nasa was already working on this idea of electric thrust I thought I was the only one.

Brains?.?.!.

sometimes i miss the usual "stfu noob" comments on youtube, because at it's easy to follow that line of communication, even if your head still hurts as much after reading it. :\

stfu, noob.

be quiet the have sex with up you new player.

The plasma used in plasma cutters reaches from ~0K to 10^4K. However, plasma from the sun (magnetic fusion plasma) reaches from temperatures ~0 to 10^8, which is obviously in most cases much hotter than a plasma cutter's produced 'plasma' (partially ionized gas). Not saying you're wrong or that I'm right, I'm saying that I was describing a different type of plasma than you were. Magnetic fusion plasma requires (self explanatory) magnetism, and fusion.

got it, sorry for the confusion. still, plasma is well understood and is internationally accepted as the fourth state of matter.

@KittyRokher Of course. I'd never deny the fact that it is the fourth state of matter. Good to know we have a base of understanding. ^.^

I must admit, in the definition of crystalline non-neutral plasma you are correct. However, my definition was of magnetic fusion plasma. There are several types of plasma, and so many people are going ot have different definitions as (in nearly every case) people believe that there is only one kind of plasma: terrestrial plasma. The kind you see on earth in 'Plasma cutters'. However, that is a partially ionized gas being produced by combustion, not magnetism. (Second post, sorry)
