Patent
Annular fuel element for high-temperature reactors

Patent Bujas, R.

A description is given of a compacted fuel element of annular shape which is enclosed in a graphite casing constituted by an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube is formed of graphite having a lower coefficient of shrinkage than the graphite of the outer tube under irradiation and is of smaller thickness than the outer tube.
Generation, insulated confinement, and heating of ultra-high temperature plasmas

Patent Bass, R.W.

Improved generation, insulated confinement and heating of ultra-high temperature steady-state plasmas in such devices as the optical plasmotron of Raizer and the freely floating plasma filament of Kapitza wherein the temperature of the plasma is increased by increasing the static pressure of the ambient medium (or decreasing the frequency of the radiant energy supply) while increasing the radiant energy supply's power and wherein the relationships between the ambient pressure, the amount of initially projected ionizing energy, the focal spot radius of this initial energy, the wavelength of the radiant energy supply, the transparency of the plasma, the rate of bremmstrahlungmore »« less
Confinement of high temperature plasmas

Patent Bass, R.W.; Ferguson, H.R.; Fletcher, H.J.; ...

A high temperature plasma is magnetically confined without leaks or cusps in a smooth toroidal configuration by tangential magnetic field lines on its surface which have a zero rotation number, and include a selected finite even non-zero number of closed toroidal magnetic field lines, which are limit cycles in the sense that all other surface field lines are asympototic to neighboring pairs of these closed field lines, and the poloidal cross-section of the plasma is non-convex. The resulting unique structure makes the confined plasma relatively insensitive to approximations, tolerances, and variations in the parameters of design, construction and operation.

Confinement of high temperature plasmas

Patent Bass, R.W.; Ferguson, H.R.; Fletcher, H.J.; ...

A high temperature plasma is confined in the shape of a topological torus by a topologically stable magnetic field which is everywhere constant on and tangent to the surface of the torus. There are exactly an even finite number of closed magnetic field lines on the plasma surface and all other magnetic field lines on the surface are asymptotic to the closed field lines. This magnetic field configuration is achieved by a set of current carrying conductors appropriately arranged with respect to the plasma and carrying suitably selected currents.
