Abstract
A magnetically rotated arc heater producing a uniformly heated and highly turbulent hydrogen plasma is briefly described. The effect of nozzle geometry and parameters affecting the diameter of the arc and its rate of rotation are discussed and some results are presented. It is shown that steady rotation of the arc can occur when the externally applied magnetic field is zero. The drag coefficient was determined.
