Abstract
Atomic nuclei undergo fusion reactions by forming two beams of fusible ions traveling at fusion producing velocities opposed in rotation along spiral paths having common axes (35a), common radii and occupy common space in a reaction zone (22) for fusion producing collisions of ions in one beam with ions in the other beam. Means including sources (16 and 17) produce the oppositely traveling circumferential beams. Radially directed electric fields are applied to the beams of strength increasing with increasing distance from sources (16 and 17) for beam compression into spiral paths of a common reduced diameter passing through common space in zone (22) to promote collisions between ions in the oppositely traveling beams as they travel in the common space.
