THERMONUCLEAR INJECTION PROCESS AND INJECTOR
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4028758
A process and apparatus are described for increasing the energy of charged particles and for conducting controlled thermonuclear reactions. The process comprises establishing in an evacuated space a radially inhomogeneous, axially symmetric magnetic field with axially spaced intensifted nodal reflector field regions. For increasing ener gies of enlarged particles, the field intensity is increased with time, and particles are disposed in a ring encircling the field so that they spiral radially inward to accumulate with increased energy in the central axial region. For controlled thermonuclear reactions, the magnetic field is increased in intensity sinusoidally with time and decreased in inhomogeneity. A ring of fuel plasma is introduced to the field at such a time that it is non-adiabatically heated, accumulated in the central axial region, and then adiabatically heated. The apparatus is assembled with solenoids, capacitor banks, and plasma fuel emitters. (D.L.C.)
