Bob Rohner and Papp before him uses the alpha particles to canalize the
plasma. That is to pre-ionize the gas to aid is conduction between
electrodes.

John Rohner uses a frequency generator to pre-ionize the gas.

[Vo]:Inside of Rohner/Papp plasma chamber...

Four electrodes as two sets of opposing electrodes, and each opposing set of
two look more or less identical.  One set looks to have larger ends, and to
even have two nodes on the end.

 

1.   The smaller set of electrodes have aluminum containers, or
'buckets' as Rohner calls them, that form the base of two of the opposing
electrodes.  

2.   One bucket has Thorium and Rubidium inside.

3.   The other bucket contains Thorium and Red Phosphorus.

4.   Two tungsten electrodes; these are the larger, more rounded ones
which look to have two nodes on the end; the opposing electrode's face
cannot be seen.
