A self-energized plasma compressor which compresses plasma discharged from a coaxial plasma generator. The plasma generator creates a current through the helical coil which, in turn, generates a time varying magnetic field. As the plasma is accelerated out the outer end of the generator, it forces the gas outwardly also compressing such.
