Abstract: A fusion reactor includes an improved ability to modulate a plasma for specific purposes. The reactor operates on the ability to change at least four separate variables in each of a plurality of lenses that are independent of the other lenses. This allows for the generation of Alfvén waves and modulation of the internal plasma dynamics, actively leading to higher states of efficiency. By combining modulation of a plasma in the form of an ion beam with a solid state metal target, an efficient fast neutron source can be produced. This can lead to industrial applications such as energy generation, nuclear clean-up, the production of rare earth metals out of semi-rare ones, and helium production.

Abstract: Générateur de puissance électrique constitué par une chambre (1) contenant un mélange deuterium-hydrogène, dans laquelle l'énergie d'un puissant laser à impulsions est focalisée après avoir été transformée en mode quadripolaire tournant transerve électrique, en traversant un 'déphaseur azimutal' (8) dans lequel les déphasages sont causés par un dopage du matériau constituant les lames à faces parallèles. Ce dopage fait varier l'indice optique d'une quantité liée à la longueur d'onde du laser et à l'épaisseur de la lame. Cette énergie provoque la formation d'un plasma à partir duquel, dans une zone voisine du plan focal, des 'aiguilles' sont lancées qui entrainent un courant électrique aboutissant à une anode circulaire (20) entourant le foyer. Le circuit d'utilisation est branché entre l'anode et le dispositif métallique (6) utilisé comme focalisateur du faisceau laser.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrostatic fusion reactor composed of a spherical chamber in which vacuum is produced by means of vacuum pumps. The internal wall of the chamber is lined with carbon in the form of graphite or diamond. A spark ionizer, composed of two carbon piles connected to a spark voltage source, is placed in the center of the chamber. The inner wall of the chamber and the central ionizer are connected respectively as a cathode and as an anode to a Dirac-pulse high-voltage generator. In use, a spark discharge is generated between the central carbon piles, the erosion of which generates carbon ions. By applying a high-voltage Dirac-pulse between anode and cathode, the carbon ions are accelerated toward and impact the chamber wall with such an energy as to give rise to carbon-carbon fusion reactions. Other types of ionizers and/or ion accelerators can be used. The heat generated by the fusion reactions can be evacuated by a cooling fluid acting on the external wall of the chamber.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a nuclear fusion-generating device includes a cathodic magnet having a polyhedral structure formed from current-carrying leg sections and adapted to generate a multi-poled magnetic field such that the curvature of the magnetic field lines are everywhere convex within a magnet interior region. An ion generating system injects ions into a center of the magnet interior region at energies favoring a nuclear fusion cross-section of the ions. The current-carrying elements can be powered and configured to confine electrons into the center of the magnet interior region to function as a cathode that neutralizes ionic space charges and facilitates ion movement along paths that do not intersect solid structures. The current-carrying elements can be formed with a radial-to-azimuthal aspect ratio that favors increased transparency to the ions without sacrificing magnetic field strength.

Abstract: Radionuclides are produced with a pulsed neutron flux from a multiple repetition rate staged Z-pinch machine, the pulsed neutron flux is moderated, an activatable radionuclide precursor is exposed to the moderated pulsed neutron flux, and a corresponding radionuclide from the activatable radionuclide precursor is produced. High current pulses are passed through a target plasma of fusible material enclosed in a cylindrical liner plasma composed of a high-Z plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses the liner plasma, and generates shock waves. The shock implodes the target plasma. The shock front propagates between an outer shock front and an axis of the target plasma so it is heated through shock dissipation and by adiabatic compression due to an imploding shock front produced in the outer liner plasma to fuse light nuclei and generate alpha particles and neutrons. Alpha particles trapped within the magnetic field further heat the target plasma.
