HIGH ENERGY GASEOUS PLASMA CONTAINMENT DEVICE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4122838
A thermonuclear reactor is designed in which a gaseous plasma can be contained indefinitely at sufficient density to cause thermonuclear reactions; it comprises a toroidal tube made of insulating material with a plurality of magnetic coils wrapped amount the tube and annular electrodes. In operation, D/ sub 2/ is introduced into the tube at a pressure of 10 to 100 mu , is converted into plasma by the electric field, and is trapped in the regions where the electric and magnetic fields are at night angles.
