Method and apparatus for confining a plasma
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6153040
A high-temperature plasma is surrounded with a laser-beam wall to aid in its confinement. When such a laser-beam wall is used in combination with a confining magnetic field acting on a plasma of nuclear fuel material, the confinement time of the plasma is increased sufficiently to produce useful energy and to act as an efficient neutron source.
