Method and apparatus for use in carrying out controlled thermonuclear reactions wherein the plasma is supported by opposing gas fuel jets and an electrostatic field

摘要

A method and apparatus for use in carrying out controlled thermonuclear reactions wherein fusion fuel is mixed with a carrier gas and fed continuously through opposing nozzles to a plasma sphere or ball in which thermonuclear reactions cause the emission of neutrons and visibles light, and in which the plasma ball is confined by internal forces in the ball and maintained in position by opposing gas fuel jets and an electrostatic field.
