METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT A THERMONUCLEAR SYNTHESIS REACTION, THERMONUCLEAR REACTOR, DEFLECTING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for carrying out a thermonuclear synthesis reaction and to devices for carrying out said method, and can be used in power engineering, in transport, and also for protecting the Earth from meteorites and asteroids. The essence of the method consists in that, first of all, negatively charged deuterium ions are accelerated to a high velocity under the action of an electric field due to a spark discharge. The direction of movement of some of the deuterium ions is changed to the opposite direction by a laser radiation pulse. Movement of said ions towards the main portion of the ions causes a thermonuclear synthesis reaction. The time of penetration of the first laser radiation beams into the reaction zone is synchronized with the first deuterium ions with the aid of a movable conical prism arranged in the centre of a working-medium internal cavity of a laser assembly in the thermonuclear reactor. Use of this thermonuclear reactor allows a move away from ecologically harmful power plants. The deflecting device comprises a steel cylinder, in the centre of which an immovable conical prism and a laser assembly are located. The spark discharge is used for ionizing the deuterium and accelerating the ions, and for exciting the working medium of the laser, which causes a thermonuclear reaction, leading to detonation of the steel cylinder and to a change in the motion trajectory of the meteorite or asteroid.
