Abstract
An ablative plasma gun having a dual power source pulse generator is configured to generate a high voltage low current pulse and a low voltage high current pulse. A pair of electrodes are disposed and configured to receive the high voltage low current pulse, and to receive the low voltage high current pulse in response to the high voltage low current pulse.

An ablative plasma gun, comprising:
- a dual power source pulse generator configured to generate a high voltage low current pulse and a low voltage high current pulse;
- and
- a pair of electrodes disposed and configured to receive the high voltage low current pulse, and to receive the low voltage high current pulse in response to the high voltage low current pulse.
An ablative plasma gun, comprising:
- a dual power source pulse generator comprising a high voltage low current pulse source configured to generate a high voltage low current pulse, and a low voltage high current pulse source configured to generate a low voltage high current pulse;
- and
- a pair of electrodes;
- wherein the low voltage high current pulse source is electrically connected with an output of the high voltage low current pulse source, and wherein in response to the high voltage low current pulse the dual power source pulse generator is configured to generate a low voltage high current pulse to produce a current flow between the electrodes.
