Neutron Shower. In Kolb's experiment, the deuterium plasma is held in a quartz tube about a foot long. At each end the magnetic field is given added strength to form a magnetic "mirror," which reflects back the charged particles as they try to escape, thus sealing the gas in a magnetic bottle. A bank of 99 condensers, kept in the basement since condensers sometimes blow up, sends a jolt of 4,000,000 amperes thundering through the coil, heating the gas up to around 20 million degrees. Dr. Kolb reported that his machine had confined plasma and kept...

...Several devices in Explorer VI are studying the belts' range and fluctuating intensities. In one experiment, high-energy particles are measured by a 2-in. cube that holds seven tiny, gas-filled cylinders shielded with lead. The particles' passage ionizes the gas, creates electrical impulses of varying strength that are transmitted to earth...
