Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a plasma generator (4, 4') for electrothermal and electrothermal-chemical weapon systems, which plasma generator comprises a combustion chamber (20) having a combustion chamber channel, and a center electrode (24, 24') disposed inside the combustion chamber channel (20'), which combustion chamber and center electrode are electrically conductive and each comprise a respective first connector (26, 42', 33, 45') for an electrical connection to a respective second connector (14c, 49, 14d, 48), interacting with the respective first connector, on the back piece of the weapon system. The connector (42') belonging to the combustion chamber and the connector (45') belonging to the center electrode are axially displaceable relative to each one of the connectors (48, 49) belonging to the back piece (14), with a maintained, radial contact between the first and the second connectors (42', 45' and 48, 49). The invention also relates to a method for maintaining the electrical contact of the plasma generator.
