Device for carrying out thermonuclear fusion allowing industrial-scale low-cost mass production of electricity and heat and with extremely low risks of contamination. The invention relates to a device that employs contra-rotating beamed particles (2), particularly heavy ions, circulating at relativistic velocity in tubes (3) and colliding inside large-sized reaction chambers (8, 9) to initiate and sustain thermonuclear fusion reactions. These chambers, supplied with various gases such as deuterium, tritium, nitrogen, argon, neon, are arranged like a string of pearls around the entire length of the circuit (3), which is preferably a near-circular circuit. The intrinsic centripetal pressure of the gases filling the chambers (8, 9) is used for the containment of the reacting gases without requiring any additional energy. A plant for producing hydrogen (13) for use as a fuel for all kinds of vehicles can be incorporated into it, and the residual heat may be used for various purposes and, in particular, for urban heating. Gratings or curtains of wires (45) arranged across the chambers will allow the electrons to be plucked from the atoms of the fuel gases and kept constantly at the periphery of the wires (45) thus eliminating the slowing of the particles/projectiles while at the same time balancing out the Coulomb repulsion of the nuclei of fuel gases. These wires may be replaced by electron-filled hollow tubes. As an alternative, the gases contained in the chambers may be heated just enough to ionize them, they may have their electrons plucked from them just before they are introduced into the chambers, an electrically insulating layer and positively charged particles may be embedded in the wall of the chambers to keep the burning hot gases away from these walls and make particle rebound easier. |
