Considered electrodynamics and the efficiency of the transfer of energy and momentum from the expanding clouds of diamagnetic or laser fusion plasma to the system of coils, creating a strong, axisymmetric quasi-dipolar magnetic field. The results of experiments with a laser-produced plasma and 3D/PIC-calculations are described, in which was proved for the first time a real opportunity to implement the conversion efficiency of energy and momentum at the level of up to 3÷5 % and ≥ 50 %, respectively, in a scheme developed for the interplanetary spacecraft VISTA on the basis of thermonuclear plasma microexplosions.

Keywords:
plasma, magnetic field, pulse conversion of energy and momentum.
