METHOD AND DEVICE TO PRODUCE ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR REACTIONS AND TO UTILIZE THE RELEASED ENERGY

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4092597

The"Astron" thermonuclear reactor consists of a vessel in which is generated a homogeneous magnetic field and larger magnetic fields at the ends of the vessel. Electrons with a relativistic energy are injected into this vessel in such a way that they will rotate in a cylindrical layer. In this way a region is formed in which the electric and magnetic fields are suitable for the capture and heating of a thermonuclear plasma. The electrons are injected tangentially at one end of the vessel, where regions with varying magnetic fields transport the electrons to the region with the homogeneous magnetic field. (NPO)
