Abstract

A nuclear fusion device comprising a vacuum chamber and a negatively charged magnet 4 located between two positively charged anodes 2. Alternatively, instead of said negatively charged magnet, a cathode electrode may be provided in a central region of the device near to the magnet. Ions of fusion fuel isotopes, such as hydrogen isotopes, are injected from an injection sub-system 1 through a hole in one of the anodes 2 and are trapped longitudinally within the device by electrostatic forces, and magnetically in all other directions. The magnet 4 is arranged so that the magnetic force field is greater in a central reaction region than in the region in which ions are injected, thereby increasing the density of the ions in the reaction region.

Description

Combined electromagnetic oscillatory nuclear fusion method The described method is the method of nuclear fusion by using both electrostatic and magnet to hold atoms.

1. Background

There has been many methods of nuclear fusion proposed, yet no much practical result achieved in controlable energy production. This has been for decades but the nuclear fusion is much beneficial yet. The main of them are thought to be: using toroidal chambers where plasma is to be hold using magnets; inertial systems, where small target is to be fast heated by beams so that the temperature and pressure are increased and there shall be a small nuclear explosion of the target, this is to be repeated to get energy during larger time periods. Along with them there have been some ideas of using ion beams, chemical bonds and electrostatic.

1.2. Electrostatic methods of nuclear fusion It seemed not much is needed for nuclear fusion, energy can be achived easily by accelerating of deuterium or other ions (7) electrically, and after this such ions are to be collided until fusion is made. The previous offered system is simple. At least there are to be anode (9), cathode (10) in vacuum chamber, and ion injection subsystem (8). The cathode is to be formed as a spherical grid.

Picture 2 may be used for better understanding the prior method.

The ways of the accelerated ions are longer than to the cathode, and in the centre of the spherical grid cathode there are to be collisions and fusion. There are some imperfections: 1. As the accuracy of the cathode form is limited, the density in the centre of the cathode would be less than in case of straight ways of ions and spherical shape of the cathode.

2. As charges of the ions are positive (in the case described; if they are negative there shall be separation of electrons and atoms (if there are collisions), which is not described) and the accuracy of the cathode form is limited, the density of them inside the cathode is assumed to be less than in imaginary case there be straight ways.

(The less is the density the less is the reaction speed but not all losses are less.) 3. There is much energy loss when ions reach the cathode. There is considered back current of electrons in this case, so that the energy loss could be twice more.

4. The cathode is to be in high-temperature area and much affected by the ions, so that the time of its use is to be short.

Another disclosed method (Wo2004044926) is to use electrostatic from two sides and a magnet from other sides to keep electrons, so that there are electrons in the centre of the device and to inject ions of fuel into the centre of the device, to fuse them using those electrons' charge.

The imperfections of this method are: 1. The injected ions would be moved outside the device by electrostatic forces, that are to keep electrons inside the device, or if there is not much force, because of their speeds.

2. Those ions' ways may end in the cathode or electron absorption system of the device causing energy loss.

3. In case of combination of an electron with an ion inside the device, the resulted atom may be collided with the hard part of the device causing energy loss.

The offered method is close to this method, but there are differences.

2. Statement

Method of use electrostatic (from two sides) and a magnet (from other sides) to control ways of ions, method of use a magnet to increase density of the ions, and method of use part(s) of different electrical charge(s) near the anode to separate and absorb the ions before collision with the cathode and other hard parts of the device in the nuclear fusion device.

3. The description of combined electrostatic-magnetical method There is not to be spherical cathode.

To increase density in the reaction place, there is to be a magnet (4), with maximal force in the area of the reaction region (6). The ratio of magnetical forces in the injection place (5) and in the reaction place (6) could be coherent to the densities ratio in those places.

Picture 1 may be used for better understanding the offered method.

3.2. Design description

There are to be a two-side anode (2), a cathode (4) and a magnet (4) inside a vacuum chamber. There is to be a hole inside the magnet. The cathode is to be ring-formed or with a hole in it and placed inside the hole in the magnet or the magnet is to be negative-charged without separate cathode. The anode is to be from both sides of the hole in the magnet (and of the hole in the cathode).

3.3. Injection place (5) Ions are to be injected in the centre or near the centre of either side of the anode.

3.4. Ways of the nucleus Picture 3 is a result of an endeavour to depict an ion way.

There are to be two-side whirls of the ions thiner in the cathode zone (6) (this is the zone of much magnetical force; collisions are to be also in this zone).

3.5. Reaction Collisions of the atoms shall be in the reaction zone (6) and there shall be the fusion.

As ions (atoms) are turned back in the surface of the cathode (or the magnet) the ways of them toward the cathode are much longer than direct distances. The system is to be built so that almost all ions be absorbed in way before cathode collision (atoms absorption). The reaction zone size and density are to be such that most atoms are to be reacted in way.

3.6. Absorption There shall be an atoms' (ions') absorption system (3). The offered filter is by oscillation size and zone. There shall be three types of ions in the whirls: source, exhaust, other ions (including fuel contamination). Source and other ions' energies before collisions with the exhaust atoms assumed to be less than exhaust atoms' energies. The oscillations of the exhaust ions are to be bigger than of non-collided with them other ions in the whirls, therefore these atoms are to be absorbed shortly.

The other ions are to be absorbed gradually in the way to the cathode, as the absorption oscillation size level is to be gradually less in dependence with distance to the cathode in about to parallel to the cathode (or magnet) surface.

3.7. Back current As a result ol collisions of atoms with the anode or absorption system there may be electrons moved out of the anode or absorption system matters. Those electrons' movements may be to gradient of electrostatic forces toward positive charge, but, as there are magnetical forces in the place of both anode and absorption system, their ways would be around the same place. Ends of the ways may be in the same part as the beginnings with no current between the parts. Therefore, back current would be less. Moreover, there could be made shading and near the collision places could be located positive-charged parts, the electrons ways to be ended in.

3.8. Injection, reaction and absorption surface zones.

There are to be three surface zones (an imaginary surface parallel to such surface from the center of the whirls to the cathode (or the magnet)).

1. Injection zone (11); There is to be the injection of ions. This zone is to be small, no bigger than scaled injection system size.

2. Reaction and absorption zone 1 (12). The absorption level is to be set so that only exhaust ions and ions(particles) collided with them to absorb.

3. Reaction and absorption zone 2 (13). The absorption level is to be gradually less in dependence on the distance to the injection zone.

The system is to be set so that almost all ions are to be reacted, and (or) absorbed.

4. Considered good and bad sides of the described method(s) 4.1. Good sides: 1. There may be almost eliminated collisions of the ions to the cathode and energy loss because of them.

2. There may bealmost eliminated backcurrent becauseof the 1st and energy loss because of this back current.

3. The result of fast separation of exhaust atoms may be more efficient reaction.

4. Back current between the parts of the absorption system, the parts of the absorption system and the anode may be small.

5. Less density and speeds of the ions near the hard parts.

3.2. Bad sides: 1. Injection system part (1) may be affected by the exhaust ions.

2. Anode may be affected by exhaust ions.

3. There may be small back current between different parts of the absorption subsystem, the parts of this subsystem and the anode.

4. Absorption system may be affected by the exhaust ions, but may be less than the injection system and the anode.

5. Because of heat there may be back current between the cathode and the anode.

6. Power output may be less than in case of using toroidal chambers.
