IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4182745
A method is presented for producing power from a toroidal thermonuclear reactor. A condenser discharges periodically through the gas-filled torus which forms the secondary of a transformer. A second condenser discharges through the primary of the transformer with alternating polarity. Thus the primary current in successive discharges through a switching system always moves in the same direction in the transformer primary. Current is drawn from the condenser- transformer resonant circuit by a rectifier. (T.R.H.)
