    摘要: A plasma-electric power generation system is described. The system includes a chamber (305) having a principle axis (315), a first magnetic field generator (325, 425) for creating an azimuthally symmetric magnetic field within a central region of the chamber with a flux (480) substantially parallel to the principle axis of the chamber and a current coil (320) concentric with the principle axis of the chamber for creating an azimuthal electric field within the chamber. A first plurality of electrodes (494) form a cylindrical surface in a first end region of the chamber. A second magnetic field generator (488) for creating an azimuthally symmetric magnetic field within the first end region of the chamber with a flux (496) substantially parallel to the principle axis of the chamber is also provided. The system also includes an electron collector (490) interposing the first and second magnetic field generators and adjacent a first end of the plurality of electrodes, and an ion collector (492) positioned adjacent a second end of the plurality of electrodes.

    摘要: Ionized boron and protons are used as nuclear reactants in a field-reversed configuration system, and fused to yield three alpha particles with kinetic energy convertible to useful energy. The boron and proton beams are injected from injectors (32 and 34) respectively, into the reaction chamber (12) in such a manner as to have a relative energy of 0.65 MeV, corresponding to a resonance maximum in the reaction cross section. The boron beam has energy of 0.412 MeV and the proton beam has energy of 1 MeV. Furthermore, in the device of the invention, the beams tend to circulate in the same direction, thereby avoiding rapid change in the mean velocities of the beams due to ion-ion scattering. The ions remain confined for relatively long periods, enhancing fusion collisions. Both ion beams should not have temperatures greater than 100 keV, because this will detract from the resonance in cross section.

    摘要: Systems and methods to reduce the amplitude of undesirable eddy currents in conducting structures, e.g., induced by the translation of an FRC into a confinement chamber, while leaving beneficial eddy currents unaffected. This is achieved by inducing opposing currents in the same conducting structures prior to plasma translation into the confinement chamber.

    摘要: A fusion reactor includes an enclosure having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a midpoint substantially equidistant between the first and second ends of the enclosure. The fusion reactor includes two internal magnetic coils suspended within the enclosure and positioned on opposite sides of the midpoint of the enclosure, one or more encapsulating magnetic coils positioned on each side of the midpoint of the enclosure, two mirror magnetic coils positioned on opposite sides of the midpoint of the enclosure, and one or more support stalks for supporting the two internal magnetic coils suspended within the enclosure. The one or more encapsulating magnetic coils and the two mirror magnetic coils are coaxial with the internal magnetic coils. The magnetic coils are operable, when supplied with electric currents, to form magnetic fields for confining plasma within the enclosure.

    摘要: A high performance field reversed configuration (FRC) system includes a central confinement vessel, two diametrically opposed reversed-field-theta-pinch formation sections coupled to the vessel, and two divertor chambers coupled to the formation sections. A magnetic system includes quasi-dc coils axially positioned along the FRC system components, quasi-dc mirror coils between the confinement chamber and the formation sections, and mirror plugs between the formation sections and the divertors. The formation sections include modular pulsed power formation systems enabling static and dynamic formation and acceleration of the FRCs. The FRC system further includes neutral atom beam injectors, pellet or CT injectors, gettering systems, axial plasma guns and flux surface biasing electrodes. The beam injectors are preferably angled toward the midplane of the chamber. In operation, FRC plasma parameters including plasma thermal energy, total particle numbers, radius and trapped magnetic flux, are sustainable at or about a constant value without decay during neutral beam injection.
