A funnel for an ion accelerator comprises a magnetic lens in operative association with a resonator. Ions from different sources are accelerated to different predetermined energy levels and are separately aimed at the lens where the incoming ions are deflected into alignment along a common path. The resonator receives ions from the lens and respectively accelerates or decelerates ions having relatively lower or higher energy levels to establish a beam of ions having substantially the same energy level.

Funnel for ion accelerators

A toroidal fusion device with an elongated axial cross section is described which is capable of ignition without auxiliary heating and with modest toroidal magnetic field. The device is based on the principle that for elongated toroids the toroidal current density in the plasma at ignition is subject to a limit which is proportional to the product of the elongation and the toroidal magnetic field. The elongation is made greater than about 4. The aspect ratio is preferably between about 3 and 10.
