ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for inertial fusion in which a pulse of ions is injected into a magnetic mirror where the ions are trapped in the form of an ion ring which is then magnetically compressed to increase its energy and reduce its dimensions. The compressed ion ring is then accelerated through a guide tube to strike a pellet in a thermonuclear fusion reactor.
