Why can’t there be some kind of ventilation/purification system that maintains the purity level of the plasma? The Russian GIT-21 device mentioned from the Prague conference report was said to have puffed in fresh plasma between its electrodes before firing – so why can’t FF-1 do that too? Fresh plasma is obviously going to be of higher purity than plasma that’s sitting around absorbing more evaporated electrode material.
