Abstract
855,856. Nuclear fusion reactors. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO. Ltd. Sept. 13, 1957 [Sept. 14, 1956], No. 28164/56. Class 39(4). [Also in Group XI] Apparatus for preheating a gas for further heating to nuclear fusion temperature comprises a cylindrical container, means for feeding a light gas at low pressure into the container, means for producing a static axial magnetic field in the chamber, and means for feeding electromagnetic energy in the H o1 made axially into the chamber. In the apparatus shown in the figure gas such as deuturium or tritium or a mixture of these is passed through a cylindrical container 1 surrounded by a coil 2 which produces an axial magnetic field ; annular pole-pieces 3 may be provided to increase the magnetic field at the ends of the container. Radio-frequency energy at the cyclotron frequency for electrons is fed into the container so that electrons are supplied with energy which they transfer to the positive ions so that the effective temperature of the ions is raised. The high energy ions may then be subjected to a further process such as cyclotron ion resonance or magnetic shock excitation, to increase their temperature to that at which nuclear fusion reactions occur. The coil 2 may be shielded from neutrons by a beryllium shield 4 or by a jacket of liquid lithium 6 which would produce tritium under neutron bombardment. The container may be cooled by liquid or gas flowing through coolant tubing embedded-in the wall of the containers. Specification 841,253 is referred to.
