Nuclear fusion reaction for power generation - initiated by firing capsule and maintained by electron ion or laser beams focussed onto fuel

摘要

The parent patent describes a method of initiating and maintaining a nuclear fusion reaction for power generation. A battery of condensers is provided for igniting the reaction. In this addition, axially symmetrically distributed recesses in the upper dome of the reactor are provided, and electron radiation devices, ion accelerators and laser beam generators, all focused towards the centre of the reactor, are switched on for continual operation and cause the fuel strand above the fusion plasma to evaporate.
