METHOD FOR ENERGY STORAGE IN BALL-SHAPED PLASMOID AND PLASMA-TYPE STORAGE CELL

摘要

FIELD: secondary power supplies. SUBSTANCE: method in implemented by unit that has charger 1 and storage cell 2. Gas flow is built up in chambers of storage cell 2 wherein it rotates counter-clockwise about their symmetry axes relative to direction from taper chamber 5 to spherical one 3, charger 1 is connected to storage cell 2, and magnetic field of magnetic trap is created inside spherical chamber 3; electric discharge is initiated in gas flow between anode 4 and cathode 6 with AC voltage and DC discharge is maintained until ball-shaped plasmoid is completely shaped within spherical chamber 3. During AC discharge, magnetic trap field is intensified and weakened in phase opposition to AC voltage and then ball-shaped plasmoid energy is pumped by magnetic field pulses which intensify trap field. According to invention, at least some portion of inner surface of spherical chamber 3 is made of electricity conducting material and is electrically coupled with grounded anode 4; magnetic field is built up due to individual energy source independent of charger 1 which prevents contact between ball-shaped plasmoid electron envelope and inner surface of spherical chamber 3; upon energy pumping in ball-shaped plasmoid to desired value, charger 1 is disconnected. Plasma storage cell 2 has low-conductance case accommodating spherical chamber 3 with ground anode 4 communicating with taper chamber 5 contracting towards spherical chamber 3 and accommodating in its wide part annular cathode 6 with inductance coil 7. Spherical chamber 3 is provided with electromagnetic coils 8-11 used to build up magnetic trap field and pulsed excitation field. Inner surface of spherical chamber 3 is coated with electricity conducting layer electrically coupled with grouped anode 4 split into electrically isolated sections 14 by means of grooves lying in meridional and parallel planes of spherical chamber 3. Anode 4, cathode 6, inductance coil 7 of cathode 6, and electromagnetic coils 8-11 are made for connection to charger 1. EFFECT: improved design. 2 cl, 7 dwg
