IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO THE PRODUCTION OF MECHANICAL POWER FROM THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4200949
A power removal system for thermonuclear reactors is described. An electric motor brings a single-phase alternator, a flywheel, and a three-phase alternator, all on the same shaft, up to speed. The three-phase alternator is connected through a switch to the primary of a transformer, the secondary of which is a ring-discharge apparatus wherein thermonuclear reactions occur. The switch operates to close during some of the output cycles and initiate discharges in the ring. When the switch is closed, the three-phase alternator drives the flywheel and second alternator to produce electricity. (T.R.H.)
