Claim Text:
1. A plasma source for generating nonlinear, wide-band, periodic, directed, elastic oscillations, comprising: a plasma emitter having a first electrode and a second electrode, the electrodes defining an electrode gap, wherein the plasma emitter has a plurality of metal stands disposed adjacent to the electrode gap and uniformly spaced about a perimeter of the plasma emitter; a delivery device comprising a metal conductor dispensed through a guide bushing to a push actuator, wherein the guide bushing runs through an electromagnetic core and through an electromagnetic plunger, and wherein the push actuator is configured to push the metal conductor through an axial opening in the second electrode into the electrode gap, an enclosure housing that contains the delivery device, wherein the enclosure housing is attached to a distal end of the plasma emitter; and a device housing attached to a proximal end of the plasma emitter, the device housing containing a high voltage transformer electrically connected to a capacitor unit, the capacitor unit electrically connected to a contactor, and the contactor electrically connected to the first electrode.
