ABSTRACT:
This invention consists of a system for generating clean controllable inexpensive electrical power by nuclear fusion (not fission) of light weight atoms and/or isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium. Fusionable ions are accelerated head-on from many directions through the middle of a reaction chamber. Such ions are produced by especially designed cyclotrons aimed at one another. Since the orbital motion and escape velocity of an ion is controlled by the magnetic field of its originating cyclotron, said ion cannot hit the outer wall of the opposite magnet (which is of equal strength). Hence the system's plasma is operationally contained. The system can produce plasmas of practically any desired average velocity hence temperature; and in densities approaching 10.sup.20's per cc at the center of the reaction chamber. These conditions are abundantly ample for practical production of fusion.
