Abstract
881,786. Nuclear fusion reactors; electric discharge apparatus. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. Aug. 11, 1959 [Sept. 2, 1958], No. 27404/59. Classes 39(1) and 39(4) A plasma discharge device comprises means for feeding a gas into a chamber at a controlled pressure, means for establishing a radial electric field in the chamber to ionise the gas, and means for establishing an axial magnetic field through the chamber to constrain radial movement of charged particles and form a rotating electron sheath about the axis of the chamber for ionising the gas. In Fig 1 the chamber comprises a stainless steel cylinder 12 and contains a central tubular electrode 23 of aluminium provided with apertures 24 through which gas such as deuterium may be admitted to the chamber at a pressure between 0À1 and 1 micron. Connections 14 allow the chamber to be evacuated and a connection 28 provides an alternative inlet for gas. The chamber is surrounded by a central coil 17 and two minor coils 18 enclosed in a casing which is preferably of ferromagnetic material. In operation the coils are energised to form a trapping magnetic field and the gas is ionised by a high potential, e.g. 10 kV, between the cylinder 12 and the central electrode 23 which may be either positive or negative with respect to the cylinder; the high energy plasma produced may be used to produce ion beams, high energy neutrons, or themonuclear reactions. Cooling means may be provided including cooling tubes within the central electrode and around the outside of the chamber.
