This paper deals with the stabilization of the launch mass in and out of the bore of a plasma electromagnetic launcher. Appropriately coiled windings are assumed to produce a rotating magnetic field and, as a consequence, the rotating motion of the launch package necessary for the gyroscopic stabilization. The dynamic of the plasma arc interacting with contemporary translating and rotating field inside a hollow cylinder is focused. An analysis of the possible plasma structure flow is carried out starting from recent studies and works published by other authors. Launch mass angular and axial velocity in the presence and in the absence of the rotating magnetic field are the quantities of interest. Finally, the preparation of experimental setups purposely defined is discussed.

Abstract
This paper deals with the stabilization of the launch mass in and out of the bore of a plasma electromagnetic launcher. Appropriately coiled windings are assumed to produce a rotating magnetic field and, as a consequence, the rotating motion of the launch package necessary for the gyroscopic stabilization. The dynamic of the plasma arc interacting with contemporary translating and rotating field inside a hollow cylinder is focused. An analysis of the possible plasma structure flow is carried out starting from recent studies and works published by other authors. Launch mass angular and axial velocity in the presence and in the absence of the rotating magnetic field are the quantities of interest. Finally, the preparation of experimental setups purposely defined is discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
