IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GENERATION OF EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE, PARTICULARLY FOR INITIATING NUCLEAR FUSION REACTIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4004130
A method and an apparatus are designed for the generation of temperatures above 10/sup 6/ deg K in order to initiate thermonuclear reactions. The stability of the plasma ring that is formed in the toroidal apparatus is increased by a transition layer of gas around the ring and by a magnetic field which reduces the heat conduction through the transition layer.
