    Abstract: Systems and methods to reduce the amplitude of undesirable eddy currents in conducting structures, e.g., induced by the translation of an FRC into a confinement chamber, while leaving beneficial eddy currents unaffected. This is achieved by inducing opposing currents in the same conducting structures prior to plasma translation into the confinement chamber.

    Abstract: A high performance field reversed configuration (FRC) system includes a central confinement vessel, two diametrically opposed reversed-field-theta-pinch formation sections coupled to the vessel, and two divertor chambers coupled to the formation sections. A magnetic system includes quasi-dc coils axially positioned along the FRC system components, quasi-dc mirror coils between the confinement chamber and the formation sections, and mirror plugs between the formation sections and the divertors. The formation sections include modular pulsed power formation systems enabling static and dynamic formation and acceleration of the FRCs. The FRC system further includes neutral atom beam injectors, pellet injectors, gettering systems, axial plasma guns and flux surface biasing electrodes. The beam injectors are preferably angled toward the midplane of the chamber. In operation, FRC plasma parameters including plasma thermal energy, total particle numbers, radius and trapped magnetic flux, are sustainable at or about a constant value without decay during neutral beam injection.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a linear plasma system. The linear plasma system includes a number of troughs of an electrode alternating with a number of peaks of the electrode forming a sawtooth shape, a reactive gas feed, a precursor gas feed, and a power source. The reactive gas feed is disposed on the electrode and configured to continuously release a reactive gas into an array of holes located at the trough apex. The precursor gas feed is disposed on the electrode and configured to continuously release a precursor gas into an array of holes located at the peak apex. The power source is configured to apply radio frequency power to the electrode to simultaneously interact with the reactive gas mixed with the precursor gas to generate plasma, which is used to create a product that is deposited on a substrate.

    Abstract: An Atomic Fusion Device wherein a laser beam is focused to the center of a spherical reaction chamber having a mirrored inner surface. The spherical reaction chamber is evacuated and surrounded by a concentric lithium jacket which is surrounded by a concentric cryogenic jacket in which is immersed a multiaxis Ioffe bar system. A mixture of deuterium and tritium plasma is continuously introduced into the reaction chamber at a metered rate through the preheat units and compressed at the center of the chamber by the electromagnetic field created by the superconductive Ioffe bar system. This mixture is ignited by the laser beam to create a steady-state, self-sustaining lithium blanket. Power is controlled by controlling the plasma input rate and energy is coupled out of the device by electromagnetic coupling or by recirculating the lithium through a heat exchanger.
