    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for plasma confinement utilizing various electrode and valve configurations. In one example, a device includes a first electrode positioned to define an outer boundary of an acceleration volume, a second electrode arranged coaxially with respect to the first electrode and positioned to define an inner boundary of the acceleration volume, at least one power supply to drive an electric current along a Z-pinch plasma column between the first second electrodes, and a set of valves to provide gas to the acceleration volume to fuel the Z-pinch plasma column, wherein an electron flow of the electric current is in a first direction from the second electrode to the first electrode. In additional or alternative examples, a shaping part is conductively connected to the second electrode to, in a presence of the gas, cause a gas breakdown of the gas to generate a sheared flow velocity profile.

    Abstract: Described are concepts, structures and techniques for passive mitigation of relativistic electrons produced in a tokamak plasma. These electrons may be referred to herein as "runaway" electrons (REs). In embodiments, a passive runaway electron mitigation coil (REMC) comprises an electrical conductor having a non-axisymmetric loop shape comprising a plurality of portions arranged along paths defined by the surface of a torus along a toroidal direction. In operation, the REMC is energized by a disruption-induced voltage, and the resulting magnetic field stochasticity causes electrons to be lost more rapidly than a RE beam can form. The REMC is configured for outboard side mounting within a vacuum vessel.

    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, lower energy photons are combined into a higher energy photon, a phat, by a shift in equilibrium from plasma toward condensing atoms. Phats are an ingredient for new compositions of matter and for nuclear reactions. Many of these compositions of matter are between a chemical and a nuclear scale. A self-assembled reactor is described at this scale. Also, fuels are produced that are high energy activated compositions of matter. Some activated compositions of matter can cause various nuclear reactions. A sequence is described for generalized chemical/nuclear steps. The nuclear reactions which occur include: photodisintegration, neutron absorption, accelerated nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes, and fusion of various combinations of elements.

    Abstract: A fusion reactor includes a columnating panel disposed between the positive electrode and negative electrode for channeling deuterium ions along predetermined paths that are likely to lead to fusion-producing collisions with previous deuterium ions. Deuterium ions are introduced to the reactor adjacent to the positive electrode, and then pass from the columnating panel, through a reduced pressure chamber, and then proceed towards the negative electrode. Once the deuterium ions strike the negative electrode, they remain attached to the negative electrode so that subsequent deuterium ions following the same channels through the columnating panel are more likely to collide with them.
