11Launch loop — A launch loop or Lofstrom loop is a design for a belt based maglev orbital launch system that would be around 2,000 km long and maintained at an altitude of up to 80 km (50 mi). A launch loop would be held up at this altitude by momentum of the… …
12electron tube — an electronic device that consists, typically, of a sealed glass bulb containing two or more electrodes: used to generate, amplify, and rectify electric oscillations and alternating currents. Also called electronic tube. Cf. gas tube, vacuum tube …
13Magnetosphere of Jupiter — Discovery[1] Discovered by …
14Plasma (physics) — For other uses, see Plasma. Plasma lamp, illustrating some of the more complex phenomena of a plasma, including filamentation. The colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined… …
15Gyrotron — Gyrotrons are high powered vacuum tubes which emit millimeter wavelength beams by bunching electrons with cyclotron motion in a strong magnetic field. Output frequencies range from about 20 to 250 GHz, covering wavelengths from microwave to the… …
16Lower hybrid oscillation — A lower hybrid oscillation is a longitudinal oscillation of ions and electrons in a magnetized plasma. The direction of propagation must be very nearly perpendicular to the stationary magnetic field, within about radic;( m e/ m i) radians.… …

18transuranium element — Any of the chemical elements after uranium in the periodic table (with atomic numbers greater than 92). All are radioactive (see radioactivity), with half lives ranging from tens of millions of years to fractions of a millisecond. Only two,… …
19mass spectrometry — or mass spectroscopy Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. A mass spectrometer uses electrical means to detect the sorted ions, while a mass spectrograph …
