A high energy toroidal inductor addresses not only the desire for reduced weight and volume, but also the desire for minimal stray magnetic fields. Specifically, the high energy toroidal inductor includes a bucking cylinder and a predetermined number of leaves. Each leaf is of a two-ended, twisted ring configuration and includes a top portion. The top portion is the narrowest portion of the leaf, and the width of the leaf graduates outward from the top portion to each end of the ring. The bucking cylinder interfaces with each of the leaves and presents the leaves in a side-by-side, continuous toroidal configuration.

The invention provides a device for generating surface plasmas, for ignition of propellants. The invention provides a plurality of sheet fuses with insulating sheets separating each fuse. One of the fuses is complete, while the other fuses have a gap. The fuses are sheets formed into concentric coaxial cylinders. The complete fuse forms the outer most cylinder. The fuses sequentially become a plasma starting from the outer most fuse to the inner most fuse.
