Abstract
1455076 Capacitors; discharge apparatus F WINTERBERG 22 Feb 1974 [1 March 1973] 8107/74 Headings H1M and H1D A capacitor for storage and rapid discharge of large amounts of electrical energy comprises co-axial conductive or semi-conductive tori 1, 2, inner torus 1 being levitated within outer torus 2 with vacuum between them, a thermionic emitter 8 associated with outer torus 2 for introducing electrons into one space between the tori, a toroidal magnetic field coil connected to a periodically varying power source 4, 5 driving the electrons along paths 10 on to the inner torus whereby a charge accumulates thereon and a spark gap 11 between the inner torus and a guide electrode 15 levitated within discharge tube 12 for discharging electrons traversing the gap. Discharge tube 12 is electrically continuous with outer torus 2. Suitably the magnetic field also effects the levitation, in which case inner torus 1 and guide electrode 15 are at least in part of ferromagnetic material. Electrostatic or inertial levitation is also envisaged. As long as the magnetic field strength H in the vacuum between the tori is greater than the electric field strength E when both are expressed in c.g.s. units, the magnetic field will prevent discharge between the tori. As E approaches H, discharge occurs across the spark gap 11, electrons pass along guide electrode 15 through anode window 13 into drift tube 14. Alternatively the electrons may be magnetically focussed and guided. Unless the conductivities of the tori are low, gaps 6 and 7 therein, optionally filled with insulating material, are desirable for free flow of the magnetic field into the vacuum space. Torus 1 may be solid or filled with insulating or semiconducting material. Reference is made to the use of other than electrons as charge carriers, e.g. ions. The device may be used in the initiation of nuclear reactions, collective acceleration of charged atomic particles, in gamma ray flash tubes, in pumping of lasers, in microwave pulse generators and in radiation for medical purposes.
