IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO GAS DISCHARGE APPARATUS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4073087

A liner for a gas discharge apparatus, which shields insulating gaps in the torus from radiation produced in the discharge, is described. Also the pulsed-ring discharge is prevented from touching the walls of the containing torus by making the walls thick and electrically conducting so that the eddy currents induced in them by the movement of the discharge channel toward the wall produce forces tending to resist the movement. The liner is mounted so that the axis coincides with the equilibrium discharge axis rather than with the torus axis. Applications in thermonuclear reactors are discussed. (M.C.G.)
