OSTI ID:4308296
From international meeting on the technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments and the engineering aspects of fusion reactors; Austin, Texas, USA (20 Nov 1972). In technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments and the engineering aspects of fusion reactors. Design studies show that homopolar motor-generators with 50 to 2000 MJ of inertial energy storage can be built for a small fraction of the cost of competitive power sources for the large toroidal magnets of the Texas Turbulent Torus. These dc machines operate as a motor to convert electrical energy into stored rotational kinetic energy and then become a generator to provide a large pulse of power for a short time duration. (auth)
