    摘要: A magnetic confinement system includes a magnetic mirror device that includes a chamber to hold a target plasma and a coil arrangement to generate a magnetic field configuration in the chamber to confine the target plasma in cylindrically-symmetric form in the chamber, the magnetic field configuration having open ends. The magnetic confinement system further includes plasma guns to generate plasma pistons and project the plasma pistons at the open ends of the magnetic field configuration. In operation, the plasma pistons converge towards each other to close the open ends of the magnetic field configuration and to compress and heat the target plasma.

    摘要: A system (10) and method for transferring energy utilises an evacuated recirculation duct (11), with a pump (20) to circulate gas and a control nozzle (22) to form a jet of gas. Hydrogen gas is provided into the duct to be circulated, and an electrical device (30, 32) provides energy into the jet of gas so as to form hydrogen atoms. A heat exchanger (44) is arranged downstream of the electrical device (30, 32), onto which the flowing jet of gas impacts. Means (40) are also provided to generate an electric or magnetic field in the region of the jet of gas between the electrical device (30, 32) and the heat exchanger (44), and is connected to a source (42) of electricity. For example an electromagnet coil (40) and may generate a magnetic field (B) transverse to the direction of travel of the jet of gas, or an electromagnet coil (40A, 40B) may generate a magnetic field parallel to the jet of gas.

    摘要: Disclosed is an accelerator with a closed-circuit electron drift in which polar tips of magnetic conductors (1, 2), which form a circular discharge chamber (7), are created all along the discharge chamber and are connected together with a compensation cathode (9) to the negative pole of a power source (8); the anode (4), which is integral with a working medium supply system (6), contains a porous wall (5) and is recessed from an edge (11) of the accelerator over a distance Rn which exceeds the length of magnetron cutoff by at least one Larmor thermal radius. The shape of the magnetic fields is reproduced by the surface of the porous wall (5) to ensure laminarity of the ion flux. The gaps between the surfaces of the polar tips of magnetic conductors (1, 2) and the respective edges of the porous wall (5) are selected according to the angle of divergence of an ion beam over a length Rn and the need to ensure dielectric strength.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to shield various components (e.g., a gasket, a sensor, a wire, a mechanical component made of metals and/or polymers) deployed in a vacuum environment using a shield assembly formed from multiple ceramic fibers. The shield assembly reduces damage to the components when exposed to a plasma and the generation of contaminants. The ceramic fibers are formed from a ceramic and arranged in a packed structure creating a tortuous trajectory that suppresses the transport of charged particles and/or contaminants through the shield assembly. The ceramic fibers are mechanically compliant and readily bent and/or packed into gaps without fracture. The ceramic fibers may also be formed into a tube to surround a fiberglass rod, a gasket, a sensor, and/or a wire. The presence of the shield assemblies also permits cleaning of the interior surfaces of the vacuum chamber using a plasma without generating contaminants from the gaskets.

    摘要: A reacting system for performing a fusion reaction and harvesting thermal energy from the fusion reaction includes a reactor. The reactor includes an outer core, an inner core, a central opening, and a compressor. The outer core contains liquid metal. The inner core contains liquid metal and defines an external surface including a force transferring barrier that is configured to separate liquid metal in the outer core from liquid metal in the inner core. The central opening is configured to receive plasma. The compressor is configured to compress the liquid metal in the outer core. The force transferring barrier is configured to transfer force from the compression of the liquid metal in the outer core to the liquid metal in the inner core thereby causing displacement of the liquid metal in the inner core and compressing the plasma within the central opening.

    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.
