<p>A method of creating fusion and a fusion reactor are disclosed. The reactor comprises a vessel (2) which is initially surrounded by an explosive material (1). The explosive material (1) is detonated to create an imploding shock wave (3) which implodes towards a focal point of the vessel, thereby heating and pressurising fuel in the vessel to a temperature at which fusion occurs. The creation of fusion releases energy and also an expanding shock wave which is reflected from the inner surface of the vessel to again produce an imploding shock wave which implodes towards the focal point of the vessel, thereby again heating and pressurising fuel to create further fusion. This process continues in an oscillating pulse fashion so as to continuously produce fusion and a shock wave which is reflected from the vessel to again produce fusion. The vessel may be spherical, ellipsoidal, hemi-ellipsoidal or tubular in shape.</p> |
