Abstract: A soft x-ray generator includes a unique pulse trigger assembly which reliably and reproducibly provides a plasma to initiate the discharge between a cathode and an anode, and having a cone-shaped geometry. The soft x-ray generator of the present invention also includes a rotating anode which is generally disk-shaped with an outer circumferential edge which can be rotated with respect to the cathode to expose different sections of the anode to the plasma discharge, thereby reducing anode wear and providing longer term operation. Anode erosion is also reduced by the liquid cooling of the anode during use. The generator utilizes a relatively low capacitance for the cathode-to-anode discharge and a relatively high voltage and pulse repetition rate (frequency) to achieve continuous reproducible results.

Abstract: A nuclear fusion system comprises a nuclear fusion device for providing heat energy, a capacitor for storing electrical energy for use by the nuclear fusion device in providing the heat energy, and an electrical conductor for carrying electrical energy from the capacitor to the nuclear fusion device, each of the nuclear fusion device, the capacitor and the conductor being located within a first chamber. The first chamber is located within a second chamber. A fluid is located between the first and second chambers, surrounds the nuclear fusion device, the capacitor and the conductor, and receives heat energy from each of the nuclear fusion device, the capacitor and the conductor, resulting in the fluid being heated. A thermal energy converter receives heated fluid from the second chamber. A super insulating material encloses the second chamber to reduce heat loss from the heated fluid to the cooler ambient.
