Apparatus for hot fusion of fusion-reactive gases

Abstract

A generally spherical sealed reactor vessel defining a volume. A target sphere shaped electrodeis centered within a nonconductive reactor vessel. The target sphere is insulated from and fixedly centered within the nonconductive reactor vessel by an insulated stalk. This vessel is suspended in an insulating and cooling mediumcomposed of transformer oil. Deuterium gasis released into and contained within the volume at a predetermined pressure. A source of high voltage, high frequency potentialis connected to the target electrode by an electrical connection. The other terminal of the high voltage, high frequency potential source is connected to Earth ground. The applied alternating electrical potential creates an alternating electrical field within the reaction chamber. This an oscillating electric field is formed within the enclosed space of nonconductive reactor vessel, extending between target electrodeand heat absorbent container. This electric field is of sufficient intensity to provide for the ionization of gases contained therein. It also provides for the alternately radial outward acceleration and the alternately radial inward acceleration of the contained ionized gases. The collapsing of ionized gases provides for ions impacting the spherical target, and for the impact of ions with one another. The intensity of the electric field is sufficient that such impacts occur at fusion reactive velocities.
