摘要： A compact, simpler, more economical ICF target chamber and reactor design that maintains a low internal pressure, sub-atmospheric, and very small neutron flux on any pressure bearing vessel or steam generating mechanism. The present invention reduces radiant target emission towards the nearest wall of the hohlraum wall and/or sleeve material so that the radiation from target burn exits the end of the hohlraum through a wall material sufficiently thick to contain the target drive radiation, but becomes transparent to the target emitted radiation. The compact converter contains the energy released by the ICF target and converts it into usable heat to create steam. It also converts the excess neutrons, from the ICF target, into tritium. This is then collected with the unburnt fuel tritium.

摘要： Various configurations for ICF targets and techniques for their utilization are disclosed which may be simpler and more robust than conventional targets. In some embodiments, these targets may operate at a large areal density (ρr), and/or may be imploded primarily by a single strong shock. In some embodiments, the entire volume of a region of fuel may be heated to a desired temperature at once, such that all the fuel mass may participate in the physical processes that may lead to fusion ignition. Targets of this type may be less sensitive to drive non-uniformity and to the temporal profile of driver energy delivery than conventional ICF targets.

摘要： Application of axial seed magnetic fields in the range 20-100 T that compress to greater than 10,000 T (100 MG) under typical NIF implosion conditions may significantly relax the conditions required for ignition and propagating burn in NIF ignition targets that are degraded by hydrodynamic instabilities. Such magnetic fields can: (a) permit the recovery of ignition, or at least significant alpha particle heating, in submarginal NIF targets that would otherwise fail because of adverse hydrodynamic instability growth, (b) permit the attainment of ignition in conventional cryogenic layered solid-DT targets redesigned to operate under reduced drive conditions, (c) permit the attainment of volumetric ignition in simpler, room-temperature single-shell DT gas capsules, and (d) ameliorate adverse hohlraum plasma conditions during laser drive and capsule compression. In general, an applied magnetic field should always improve the ignition condition for any NIF ignition target design.

摘要： A system and apparatus for a magnetized plasma nuclear fusion reactor, incorporating special design features which induce a plasma heat engine cycle in a rapidly rotating plasma. The heat engine operates either continuously or by oscillations. A continuous heat engine is formed in the open field outside a field reversed configuration. The oscillatory system operates in synchronism with cyclic acceleration, collision, and deceleration of plasma masses to produce nuclear fusion reactions at an economically useful rate with a relatively small driving power required. A special magnetic field design is combined with applied electrical voltages at the end of the field lines to produce required conditions. Design features allow recovery of large fraction of collision heat which would otherwise be dissipated as a parasitic loss.

摘要： A method of fabricating a spherical cavitation chamber. Depending upon the chamber's composition and wall thickness, chambers fabricated with the disclosed techniques can be used with either low or high pressure systems. During chamber fabrication, initially two spherical half portions are fabricated and then the two half portions are joined together to form the desired cavitation chamber. During the fabrication of each chamber half, the interior spherical surface is completed first and then the outer spherical surface. Prior to joining the two spherical cavitation chamber halves, the surfaces to be mated are finished, preferably to a surface flatness of at least ±0.01 inches. Brazing is used to join the chamber halves together. The brazing material is preferably in the form of a ring-shaped sheet with outside and inside diameters of approximately the same size as the cavitation sphere's outside and inside diameters. Preferably the brazing operation is performed under vacuum conditions. During brazing, preferably force is applied to the two half spheres in order to compress the brazing material and achieve a strong bond. In order to insure that the inner surface of the completed cavitation chamber is relatively smooth, means for aligning the two half spheres during brazing is required, the means being either integral or external to the half spheres.

摘要： A method of igniting a deuterium-tritium ICF fuel target to obtain fuel burn in which the fuel target initially includes a hollow spherical shell having a frozen layer of DT material at substantially uniform thickness and cryogenic temperature around the interior surface of the shell. The target is permitted to free-fall through a target chamber having walls heated by successive target ignitions, so that the target is uniformly heated during free-fall to at least partially melt the frozen fuel layer and form a liquid single-phase layer or a mixed liquid/solid bi-phase layer of substantially uniform thickness around the interior shell surface. The falling target is then illuminated from exteriorly of the chamber while the fuel layer is at substantially uniformly single or bi-phase so as to ignite the fuel layer and release energy therefrom.

摘要： The invention relates to a novel method for the controlled release of thermonuclear energy by inertial confinement. The essential feature of the invention is that is uses for the achievement of this goal high temperature black body radiation. The black body radiation is generated by hypervelocity impact onto a tenuous gas trapped inside a small cavity. The tenuous gas is shock-heated to high temperatures and thereby becomes a source of intense photon radiation, which after reaching thermodynamic equilibrium becomes a black body radiation. The thusly generated black body radiation is the furthermore amplified by adiabatic compression through the implosion of the cavity. During the implosion process the photons inside the cavity must be sufficiently well confined by the opacity of the cavity wall which sets a lower limit for the implosion velocity. The thusly created and amplified black body radiation is then used to ablatively implode and ignite a thermonuclear target placed inside the cavity. Because the attainable black body radiation temperatures typically reach values of .apprxeq. 1 keV, the corresponding short photon wave length should with much greater ease permit high density target compression than with other proposed drivers. The cavity implosion itself can be driven by any one of the available sources hitherto proposed for inertial confinement fusion, including laser beams, beams of charged particles and hypervelocity projectiles, but unlike in case of direct pellet fusion with a greatly reduced power and power density.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及通过惯性约束控制释放热核能的新方法。本发明的基本特征是用于实现这个目标的高温黑体辐射。黑体辐射是通过超高速冲击而产生的，这种微弱气体被捕获在一个小腔内。脆弱的气体被冲击加热到高温，从而成为强光子辐射的来源，其在达到热力学平衡后成为黑体辐射。由此产生的黑体辐射进一步通过空腔内壁的绝热压缩而放大。在内爆过程中，空腔内的光子必须充分地受到空腔壁的不透明度的限制，空腔壁设定内爆速度的下限。然后使用这样产生和放大的黑体辐射来消融和点燃放置在腔内的热核靶。因为可获得的黑体辐射温度通常达到约1keV的值，相应的短光子波长应该比其他提出的驱动器更容易允许高密度目标压缩。空腔内爆本身可以由迄今为止提出的用于惯性约束熔化的任何一种可用源驱动，包括激光束，带电粒子束和超高速射弹，但是不同于在大大降低的功率和功率密度的直接球团聚合的情况下。
