Axisymmetric Magnetic Mirror Fusion-Fission Hybrid
Early application of the simple axisymmetric mirror, requiring intermediate performance between a neutron source for materials testing Q=Pfusion/Pinput ~0.05 and pure fusion Q>10, are the hybrid applications. The Axisymmetric Mirror has attractive features as a driver for a fusion-fission hybrid system: geometrical simplicity, as well as the typical mirror features of inherently steady-state op...
متن کاملA Laser Based Fusion Test Facility
The Fusion Test Facility (FTF) is a high repetition rate ignition facility that would bridge the gap between single shot facilities (such as NIF and LMJ) and a fully functioning laser fusion power plant. It would allow development of science and technologies so that follow-on power plants could have predictable performance. The FTF would need to have enough fusion power, about 100 MW, to rigoro...
متن کاملA supplemental device to return escaping particles to a magnetic mirror reactor
Cyclotron resonance is now applied as one of the important means for heating plasma in a fusion reactor. We examined this phenomenon from the viewpoint of electron gyration orbits through a solution of the linearized relativistic equation of motion. We found a powerful term that accelerates a relativistic charged particle largely at a resonance point when a magnetic field strength is very large...
متن کاملA Field-Reversed Gasdynamic Mirror Fusion Propulsion System
Previous studies have shown that the gasdynamic mirror (GDM) fusion propulsion system is capable of producing specific impulses in excess of 10 seconds and thrusts in the tens of kilonewtons. These propulsive capabilities arise from the ability of this magnetic fusion system to confine a hot plasma long enough to produce fusion energy while allowing a certain fraction of its charged particle po...
متن کاملPhysics Basis for the Gasdynamic Mirror (gdm) Fusion Rocket
A detailed examination of the physics principles that underlie the operation of the GDM fusion confinement system is carried out in order to assess its transformation to a potential propulsion device. With an ion collision mean free path much shorter than its length, the plasma in GDM behaves like a fluid, and its escape from the chamber is analogous to the flow of a gas into vacuum from a vess...
