METHOD AND APPARATUS OF CONFINING HIGH ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLES IN MAGNETIC CUSP CONFIGURATION

摘要

An apparatus and method for generating nuclear fusion reactions using a plasma initiator, and electron injector and a magnetic coil cusp confinement arrangement. The plasma initiator produces the high beta plasma inside the reaction chamber for electron confinement in the magnetic cusp arrangement. The electron injector produces a plasma potential well within the reaction chamber to confine ions and accelerates ions to fusion relevant energies within the reaction chamber.
