Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sustained-fire plasma nuclear fusion chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, a major research direction in controlled nuclear fusion is the tokamak device. A tokamak device has a central toroidal vacuum chamber surrounded by coils. When these coils are energized, they generate a helical magnetic field inside the tokamak, heating the plasma to very high temperatures to achieve nuclear fusion. However, in magnetic confinement fusion experiments, electromagnetically heating the plasma has significant technical limitations, making it difficult to ignite fusion fuel by simply increasing the plasma temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and explore new technologies for the development and utilization of controlled nuclear fusion. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a follow-up plasma nuclear fusion chamber that allows plasma to enter the plasma nuclear fusion chamber and generate primary nuclear fusion, and the primary nuclear fusion then transfers heat to the nuclear fusion fuel in the nuclear fusion afterburner chamber, thereby triggering secondary nuclear fusion.

[0004] The sustained-burn plasma fusion chamber of the present invention includes a shell, a plasma channel provided inside the shell, the plasma channel being a tapered pipe from the inlet end to the outlet end, the inlet of the plasma channel communicating with the outlet of the electromagnetic acceleration channel of the plasma electromagnetic acceleration device, the inner end of the plasma channel communicating with the plasma fusion chamber, the inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber being an arc-shaped surface, a sustained-burn fusion chamber provided on the inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber, and the sustained-burn fusion chamber being filled with nuclear fusion fuel.

[0005] Preferably, the nuclear fusion afterburner is located in the middle of the rear end of the plasma nuclear fusion chamber.

[0006] Preferably, the nuclear fusion afterburner is located on the outer side of the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity, and the nuclear fusion afterburner surrounds the plasma nuclear fusion cavity.

[0007] Preferably, a teardrop-shaped guide cone is provided in the middle of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity, with the tip of the guide cone pointing towards the outlet of the plasma channel.

[0008] Preferably, 1-4 pairs of plasma flow channels are symmetrically provided between the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity and the outer surface of the guide cone, and the inner ends of the 1-4 pairs of plasma flow channels converge at the middle of the inner end of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the nuclear fusion afterburner is an arc-shaped surface.

[0010] Preferably, the housing and the flow guide cone are made of lithium metal.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the nuclear fusion afterburner is provided with a beryllium layer for reflecting neutrons.

[0012] Preferably, the plasma electromagnetic accelerator includes a housing, within which a positive excitation conductor and a negative excitation conductor are arranged side-by-side. The positive excitation conductor is connected to the positive terminal of the excitation power supply, and the negative excitation conductor is connected to the negative terminal of the excitation power supply. An electromagnetic acceleration channel capable of being evacuated is provided between the positive and negative excitation conductors. Current flows along the direction of the electromagnetic acceleration channel on both the positive and negative excitation conductors. The direction of the current flowing on the positive excitation conductor is opposite to the direction of the excitation current flowing on the negative excitation conductor. The excitation current generates a magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel. A positive armature rail is provided on the end face of the excitation conductor facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel, and a negative armature rail is provided on the end face of the negative excitation conductor facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel. The positive armature rail is connected to the positive terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply, and the negative armature rail is connected to the negative terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply. When there is plasma between the positive armature rail and the negative armature rail, the plasma will act as a conductor to connect the positive armature rail and the negative armature rail, allowing the plasma to be affected by the magnetic field in the electromagnetic acceleration channel. The magnetic field in the electromagnetic acceleration channel will drive the plasma to move along the electromagnetic acceleration channel.

[0013] The electromagnetic acceleration channel is connected to the vacuum tank via a vacuum evacuation channel, and the vacuum chamber inside the vacuum tank is connected to the air extraction port of the vacuum pump.

[0014] The sustained-burn plasma fusion chamber of the present invention has a plasma channel inside its shell. The plasma channel is a tapered pipe from the inlet end to the outlet end. The inlet of the plasma channel is connected to the outlet of the electromagnetic acceleration channel of the plasma electromagnetic acceleration device. The inner end of the plasma channel is connected to the plasma fusion chamber. The inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber is an arc-shaped surface. A nuclear fusion sustained-burn chamber is provided on the inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber. The nuclear fusion sustained-burn chamber is filled with nuclear fusion fuel. In operation, current flows along the direction of the electromagnetic acceleration channel on both the positive and negative excitation conductors. The direction of the current flowing on the positive excitation conductor is opposite to that on the negative excitation conductor, generating a magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel. A positive armature rail is located on the end face of the positive excitation conductor facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel, and a negative armature rail is located on the end face of the negative excitation conductor facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel. The positive armature rail is connected to the positive terminal of the plasma accelerator power supply, and the negative armature rail is connected to the negative terminal of the plasma accelerator power supply. When plasma is present between the positive and negative armature rails, the plasma acts as a conductor connecting the two rails. A current perpendicular to the magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel flows through the plasma. During this process, the plasma is subjected to the magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel. This magnetic field propels the plasma along the channel at high speed and into the plasma fusion chamber. Due to the plasma's low mass, it can be accelerated to extremely high speeds in a very short time. If the plasma is composed of fusion fuel, colliding two high-speed plasmas within the fusion chamber, or colliding one high-speed plasma with another stationary fusion fuel within the chamber, converts the plasma's kinetic energy into thermal energy, thus generating primary fusion. Simultaneously, primary fusion transfers heat to the fusion fuel in the afterburning chamber, triggering secondary fusion. Therefore, the afterburning plasma fusion chamber of this invention features the ability to allow plasma to enter the fusion chamber and generate primary fusion, while the primary fusion transfers heat to the fusion fuel in the afterburning chamber, triggering secondary fusion.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the follow-up plasma nuclear fusion chamber of the present invention includes a shell 1, a plasma channel 2 is provided inside the shell 1, the inlet end of the plasma channel 2 is a tapered pipe from the outlet end, the inlet of the plasma channel 2 is connected to the outlet of the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 of the plasma electromagnetic acceleration device, the inner end of the plasma channel 2 is connected to the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4, the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 is an arc-shaped surface, and a nuclear fusion follow-up cavity 5 is provided on the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4, the nuclear fusion follow-up cavity 5 is filled with nuclear fusion fuel.

[0022] The plasma channel 2 is a tapered pipe from the inlet to the outlet, which allows the plasma 16 to converge before being injected into the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4. This helps the plasma 16, which is composed of nuclear fusion fuels such as deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei, to collide with each other and undergo nuclear fusion reactions with high efficiency.

[0023] The plasma electromagnetic accelerator includes a housing 14, within which a positive excitation conductor 10 and a negative excitation conductor 12 are arranged side-by-side. The positive excitation conductor 10 is connected to the positive terminal of the excitation power supply, and the negative excitation conductor 12 is connected to the negative terminal of the excitation power supply. An electromagnetic acceleration channel 3, which can be evacuated, is provided between the positive and negative excitation conductors 10 and 12. Current flows along the direction of the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 on both conductors 10 and 12. The direction of the current flowing on the positive excitation conductor 10 is opposite to the direction of the excitation current flowing on the negative excitation conductor 12. The excitation current generates a magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. The end face of the positive excitation conductor 10 facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 is... There is a positive armature rail 11 and a negative armature rail 15 on the end face of the negative excitation conductor 12 facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. The positive armature rail 11 is connected to the positive terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply, and the negative armature rail 15 is connected to the negative terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply. When plasma 16 is provided between the positive armature rail 11 and the negative armature rail 15, the plasma 16 will act as a conductor to connect the positive armature rail 11 and the negative armature rail 15, so that the plasma 16 is affected by the magnetic field in the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. The magnetic field in the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 will push the plasma 16 to move along the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3, and finally push the plasma 16 into the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 through the plasma channel 2. Plasma 16 is composed of nuclear fusion fuels such as deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei. Plasma 16 entering plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 can undergo nuclear fusion reactions through mutual collisions, or through collisions with deuterium and tritium nuclei pre-placed in plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4.

[0024] The positive excitation conductor 10 and the negative excitation conductor 12 can carry large currents during use, generating a magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. When current flows through the plasma 16, the plasma 16 is affected by the magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3, which propels the plasma 16 along the channel. The plasma 16 can be loaded into the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 from the rear and exit from the front, then enter the plasma channel 2.

[0025] The electromagnetic acceleration channel is connected to the vacuum tank 18 via the vacuum evacuation channel 17, and the vacuum chamber inside the vacuum tank 18 is connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump 19. During use, the vacuum tank 18 can be kept connected to the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 to ensure that the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 is in a vacuum state.

[0026] As a further improvement to the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the aforementioned nuclear fusion afterburning chamber 5 can be located in the middle of the rear end of the plasma nuclear fusion chamber 4.

[0027] As a further improvement to the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned nuclear fusion afterburning chamber 5 can also be located on the outer side of the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion chamber 4, and the nuclear fusion afterburning chamber 5 encloses the plasma nuclear fusion chamber 4.

[0028] The afterburning plasma nuclear fusion chamber of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a teardrop-shaped guide cone 6 can also be provided in the middle of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4, with the tip of the guide cone 6 pointing towards the outlet of the plasma channel 2.

[0029] The arrangement of the tip of the aforementioned guide cone 6 pointing towards the center of the plasma inlet of the plasma fusion cavity 4 makes it easier for the plasma 16 entering the plasma fusion cavity 4 to collide with each other, thereby helping the plasma 16, which is composed of nuclear fusion fuels such as deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei, to undergo nuclear fusion reactions with high efficiency.

[0030] As a further improvement of the present invention, 1-4 pairs of plasma guiding channels are symmetrically provided between the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 and the outer surface of the guide cone 6, and the inner ends of the 1-4 pairs of plasma guiding channels converge at the middle of the inner end of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4.

[0031] The aforementioned guide cone 6 is located in the middle of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4. One to four pairs of plasma guiding channels are symmetrically arranged between the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 and the outer surface of the guide cone 6. The arrangement of the one to four pairs of plasma guiding channels converging in the middle of the inner end of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 makes it easier for the plasma 16 entering the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 to collide with each other, thereby helping the plasma 16 composed of nuclear fusion fuels such as deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei to undergo nuclear fusion reactions with high efficiency.

[0032] As a further improvement of the present invention, the above-mentioned guide cone 6 is teardrop-shaped and is disposed in the middle of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4. The guide cone 6 can also be arranged to be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 by multiple connecting rods arranged around the side of the guide cone 6. This arrangement makes it easier for the plasma 16 entering the plasma nuclear fusion cavity 4 to collide with each other, thereby helping the plasma 16 composed of nuclear fusion fuels such as deuterium nuclei and tritium nuclei to undergo nuclear fusion reaction with high efficiency.

[0033] As a further improvement of the present invention, the inner wall of the nuclear fusion afterburner 5 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0034] As a further improvement of the present invention, the aforementioned shell 1 and guide cone 6 are made of lithium metal. Regarding the use of lithium metal for the shell 1 and guide cone 6, in the subsequent absorption of the heat generated by controlled nuclear fusion reaction, if liquid lithium metal is used to absorb the heat energy generated by nuclear fusion, after the shell 1 and guide cone 6 are vaporized and liquefied under the heat generated by the nuclear fusion reaction, the vaporized and liquefied lithium metal can directly flow into the liquid lithium metal originally used to absorb the heat of the nuclear fusion reaction to participate in the power generation heat exchange cycle. Furthermore, compared to using other materials, if the shell 1 and guide cone 6, which are vaporized by nuclear fusion, are made of lithium metal, no other elements with impurity properties will be added to the liquid lithium metal used to absorb the heat energy generated by nuclear fusion.

[0035] As a further improvement of the present invention, the inner wall of the nuclear fusion afterburner 5 is provided with a beryllium layer for reflecting neutrons. Coating the inner wall of the nuclear fusion afterburner 5 with a layer of beryllium allows neutrons generated by nuclear fusion to bounce back to the fusion center, thereby increasing the percentage of nuclear fuel participating in the nuclear fusion reaction.

[0036] The sustained-burning plasma fusion chamber of the present invention has a plasma channel 2 inside its shell 1. The plasma channel 2 is a tapered pipe from its inlet end to its outlet end. The inlet of the plasma channel 2 is connected to the outlet of the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 of the plasma electromagnetic acceleration device. The inner end of the plasma channel 2 is connected to the plasma fusion chamber 4. The inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber 4 is an arc-shaped surface. A nuclear fusion sustained-burning chamber 5 is provided on the inner wall of the plasma fusion chamber 4. The nuclear fusion sustained-burning chamber 5 is filled with nuclear fusion fuel. In operation, current flows through the positive excitation conductor 10 and the negative excitation conductor 12 along the direction of the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. The direction of the current flowing through the positive excitation conductor 10 is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the negative excitation conductor 12, generating a magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. A positive armature rail 4 is provided on the end face of the positive excitation conductor 10 facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3, and a negative armature rail 5 is provided on the end face of the negative excitation conductor 12 facing the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. The positive armature rail 4 is connected to the positive terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply, and the negative armature rail 5 is connected to the negative terminal of the plasma acceleration power supply. When plasma 16 is provided between the positive armature rail 4 and the negative armature rail 5, the plasma 16 acts as a conductor connecting the positive armature rail 4 and the negative armature rail 5. When the plasma 16 has a magnetic field perpendicular to the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3... When an electric current flows through it, the plasma 16 is subjected to the magnetic field within the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3. This magnetic field propels the plasma 16 at high speed along the electromagnetic acceleration channel 3 and into the plasma fusion chamber 4 via the plasma channel 2. Due to the relatively light mass of the plasma 16, it can be accelerated to extremely high speeds in a very short time. If the plasma 16 is composed of nuclear fusion fuel, allowing two high-speed plasmas 16 to collide with each other within the plasma fusion chamber 4, or allowing one high-speed plasma 16 to collide with another stationary nuclear fusion fuel within the plasma fusion chamber 4, converts the kinetic energy of the plasma 16 into thermal energy, thus generating primary nuclear fusion. Simultaneously, primary nuclear fusion transfers heat to the nuclear fusion fuel in the nuclear fusion afterburner chamber 5, thereby triggering secondary nuclear fusion. Therefore, the afterburner plasma fusion chamber of this invention has the characteristic of allowing plasma to enter the plasma fusion chamber and generate primary nuclear fusion, while primary nuclear fusion transfers heat to the nuclear fusion fuel in the nuclear fusion afterburner chamber 5, thereby triggering secondary nuclear fusion.
