Abstract

1,119,948. Thermonuclear fusion. A. P. PEDRICK. 24 June, 1967, No. 29263/67. Heading G6P. [Also in Divisions E1 and H1] A plurality of separate output beams from a group of gaseous or ruby active media 11, Fig. 1, are combined'into a concentrated beam by two confocal parabolic mirrors 3, 6. The outer mirror 3 is part of a casing 1, and the group of active media 11 are mounted on a base-plate 12 of a casing 2, flash tubes being regularly disposed among the active media, Fig. 2 (not shown). The inner mirror 6 is cooled by passing a fluid through inlet and outlet pipes 8, 10. Several such laser arrangements 43 may be radially arranged about a focal heat chamber, Fig. 8 (1), in which a fusion reaction may be produced. Spherical balls 41 of steel, platinum or titanium containing deuterium or tritium are carried through a pipe 40 into the focal heat chamber by an inert gas, the plasma produced in the chamber being constricted by energized coils 45 and escaping through an outlet pipe 50. A coolant circuit comprising pipes 50, 51, 52, 53 is provided and the coolant may be water for steam generation.
