Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fusion research apparatus and more particularly to an improved apparatus for heating and confining particles for such research.
  • An alternate method for confining hot plasma is the so-called cusp configuration of magnetic fields.
  • plasma is injected into a central volume defined by at least a pair of loops of wires or coils.
  • Oppositely directed currents are passed through adjacent coils to thereby provide a series of convex magnetic fields (i.e., convex toward the plasma).
  • Such a geometry provides a magnetic field which increases with radius from the axis of symmetry.
  • the equilibrium position of plasma is at the center of the cusped geometry. Perturbations of the plasma in this equilibrium position protrude. into regions of stronger magnetic fields which force the perturbations back to the equilibrium position. Even individual particles escaping from the main body of plasma find themselves in a stronger magnetic field from which they are ejected back into the body of the plasma.
  • An object of the present invention is the provision of an improved plasma research apparatus.
  • Another object plasma research apparatus employing various features of the present invention, and with portions thereof being broken away to show certain features thereof;
  • FIGURE 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view as viewed along line 22 of FIGURE 1;

Additional means 14 is included in the apparatus in each concave field for providingan additional convex magnetic field between each pair of the first mentioned convex fields. The total magnetic field strength in the space between the additional means and the portion of said first mentioned means which provides the concave field is made substantially greater than that of the first mentioned convex magnetic field to thereby stabilize the plasma.
  • a toroidal construction is shown for confining plasma.
  • convex fields are provided around the minor circumference of the toroid by a plurality of endless rods or members 14 of conductive material, such as copper.
  • a current is induced in each of the rods by a power source 15, as hereinafter described in detail.
  • the current establishes a magnetic field about each rod 14, the fields being convex relative to the minor axis of the toroid.
  • the alternate convex and concave magnetic confining fields are provided by a toroidal jacket 10 of conductive material such as copper.
  • the jacket 16 is internally fiuted or corrugated top rovide a plurality of alternate longitudinally extending ridges 16 and grooves 18.
  • One each of the rods 14 is received in each groove in spaced relation to the wall thereof.
  • current passes longitudinally through each rod, current is induced in the jacket which provides concave fields between the rods and the wall of the grooves 18 and convex fields at the ridges 16.
  • the rods 14- are supported centrally within the grooves 18 by a plurality of small supports 24 in the form of retractable, pointed pins exof the invention is the provision of a plasma research tending through the jacket 10.
  • the pins 24 are disposed so as to maintain the rods 14 in position against the force of gravity when the magnetic fields are not present in the torus.
  • the pins 24, by means such as solenoids 2d, are quickly retracted at the same time as the magnetic fields are established and prior to the injection of the plasma.
  • each rod 1 is of a generally ovalcrosssection.

  • the jacket liladjacent the rod 14 is formed so as to generally conform to the shape of the rod 14.
  • the gap 34 between the side portion 32 of the rod 14 and the jacket 10 is made slightly narrower than the gap .36 between the enlarged end portion 39 of the rod 14 and the jacket 19.
  • magnetic pressure at the fiat sides of the rod 14 is directed partially back into the groove 18 to thereby compensate for the magnetic pressure applied by the field in the region between the enlarged end portion 39 of the rod 14 and the wall of the groove 13, which pressure tends to force the rod 14 out of the groove
  • the dimensions of the rod 14 and groove 18 are preferably selected so as to satisfy the following:
  • B is the strength of the magnetic field in region between the rod 14 and the wall of the groove 13.
  • D is the diameter of the large end 30 of the rod
  • B is the strength of the magnetic field in the region between the flat side of the rod 14 and the adjacent jacket wall It).
  • the power source includes a torodial core transformer 38 which is disposed so that the rods 14 pass through the center hole or major axis thereof, and thereby act as short circuited secondary windings of the transformer.
  • the transformer 38 includes a core 40 of iron laminations, and a primary winding or coil 42 of wire wrapped about the core 40.
  • the transformer is provided with a toroidal housing 44 of conductive material, such as copper, which is disposed about the primary winding 42.
  • An annular gap 46 is provided in the housing adjacent the major axis thereof.
  • the housing 44 is connected to a transverse gap 47 in the jacket 10 by a pair of spaced apart flanges 48 of conductive material, such as copper, which extend between the ends of the jacket 1d and the ends of the housing 44.
  • the primary winding 42 of the transformer 38 is connected to a source of pulsatory power (not shown) which may be of the conventional type, such as a mercury tube and a capacitor bank.
  • the rods 14 have different lengths or major circumferences.
  • each rod 14 because it is a shorted turn, generates the same magnetic flux. Therefore, the current density required in the jacket wall It around the short rods 14 is higher than the current density required in the jacket wall it) around the longer rods. If the proper current density is not available to locally match the current density required, a transverse magnetic field will be set up at the gap 47 between the ends of the jacket 10. Therefore, the turns of the primary winding 42 are preferably distributed on the core 46 so that the flow pattern of the flange surface currents goes generally directly in toward the grooves 13 and does not cross the whole flange 48 to the grooves 18 surrounding the shorter rods 14.
  • the gap between the flanges 48 is tapered toward the major axis of the torus It) so that the Width of the gap is inversely proportional to the distance of the point on the flange 43 from the major axis of the torus.

  • the plasma is injected into the jacket 10 by a source 53 of plasma, such as a conventional plasma gun, extending through the manifold 5t; and the wall of the jacket 16.
  • a plasma gun is employed in which the neutral gases are trapped and not permitted to enter the plasma region. ⁇ Vhile only one gun is shown, a sufficient number of guns are arranged about the jacket to provide the desired plasma density.
  • the plasma which is injected into the magnetic confining field adjacent one of the rods 14 is trapped by discharging the polarization thereof.
  • the injected plasma crosses a magnetic line of force established by the rod 14 at M and progresses to the same line of force looped back at N.
  • a polarization charge must be created near the surface of the plasma volume.
  • the surface charge of the plasma volume must reverse in polarity or else the plasma volume cannot cross the line of force looped back in the opposite direction. This reverse polarity cannot be established on the looped back line of force and hence the plasma comes to rest and is trapped in the system.
  • the reverse polarity cannot be established because the electrons are free to travel along the looped back line of force and thereby short-circuit the polarities called for at M with the reverse polarities called for at N.
  • an oppositely directed plasma may be employed to short-circuit the polarization fields.
  • the plasma may be injected at one of the ridges. While the injected plasma is pushing on the concave side of the ridge field, an unstable configuration exists and the injected plasma punches through into the plasma region. However, once inside, plasma attempting to reverse its direction and to emerge through the now convex lines of force, encounters a stable configuration, thereby finding escape impossible.
  • the magnetic field strength B in the region between the rod 14 and its groove wall (groove region) is made substantially greater than the magnetic field strength B established in the region adjacent the ridge 16.
  • the dimensions of the structure are selected so that:
  • r is the radius of the groove, less half the gap (d),
  • high order multipoles i.e., sixpole fields or greater
  • 5 is approximately equal to 1r, and hence the square of the ratio of the magnetic field strength in the ridge region to that in the groove is made less than the ratio of the half gap to the radius of the groove 18.
  • a copper jacket having a 3 cm. wall is formed so as to provide six ridges and six grooves.
  • the wall is perforated so that approximately 25 percent of its area is open and the jacket is disposed within a copper manifold.
  • the ridges are made with a radius of .15 cm.
  • the grooves are made with a radius of 28 cm.
  • Six oval shaped rods are disposed in the grooves.
  • the radius of the larger end of each rod is 22 cm., and the radius of the smaller end of each rod is 15 cm.
  • the projection of the fiat side of the rods on the diameter is 7 cm., and a cm. gap is provided between the flat side of the rod and the jacket.
  • the rods are supported in position by retractable pins which are retracted in approximately 0.1
  • the capacitor bank is charged to a voltage such that a flux density of 15,000 gausses is in the core of the transformer, and the length of the current pulse is 0.1 second.
