Method and device for producing thermonuclear plasma
Abstract
Abstract THE INVENTION RELATES TO METHODS OF PRODUCING A THERMONUCLEAR PLASMA AND TO DEVICES FOR EFFECTING THE SAME. THE METHOD FOR PRODUCING A THERMONUCLEAR PLASMA ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT AN ELECTRIC DISCHARGE IS CREATED BY HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILLATIONS OF SUCH A MODE AND FREQUENCY THAT WITHIN THE DISCHARGE ZONE THERE IS PROVIDED A MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF THE ELECTRIC FIELD, WHILE A GASEOUS WORKING MEDIUM IS COMPRESSED AND ROTATED ABOUT THE HORIZONTAL AXIS OF THE ELECTRIC DISCHARGE. ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION, THE DEVICE FOR EFFECTING THE PROPOSED METHOD COMPRISES A RESONANT CAVITY AND A COUPLING ELEMENT MADE SO AS TO PROVIDE A MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF THE ELECTRIC FIELD WITHIN THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE RESONANT CAVITY AND ALSO COMPRISES MEANS FOR COM- PRESSION OF THE GASEOUS WORKING MEDIUM INSIDE THE RESONANT CAVITY AND FOR ROTATING IT ABOUT THE HORIZONTAL AXIS OF THE RESONANT CAVITY.
