Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present technical solution relates to a particle separation device, in particular to an ion separator. Background Art

[0002] It's well known that compressing light particles can generate nuclear energy. Research on such devices could have applications in a variety of fields, including power generation, aerospace, and nuclear technology research. These charged particles require ion generation equipment to produce them, and ion separation equipment to separate and store them for optimal reaction performance. Existing charged ion separators are complex, difficult to manufacture, and prohibitively expensive, making them prohibitively expensive to implement and commercialize. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an ion separator with a simple structure, convenient manufacturing and low cost.

[0004] The ion separator is characterized by comprising a cone-shaped box with conical ends, which is disposed within an annular magnet; a tangential input hole is formed in the middle of the box; an ion output hole is formed at the cone tip; and two annular protective screens are provided on the inner wall of the box, symmetrically surrounding the inner walls of the left and right cone tips. The annular screens separate the separation chamber within the box into an annular air cavity, which has a gas output hole. The magnet is a tubular permanent magnet or a coil.

[0005] This technical solution works as follows: when the mixed gas (charged ions and gas) input from the ion generator enters the separation chamber tangentially and rotates, the ion separator, equipped with an annular magnet that generates an axial magnetic field, causes the charged ions in the mixed gas to move toward the center. Continued pressurization of the mixed gas causes them to be discharged through the central ion output hole. Uncharged gas molecules, under the influence of centrifugal force, move toward the outer wall, passing through the annular mesh and entering the annular air chamber. The annular shield isolates the uncharged gas and discharges it through the gas output hole.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, the ion separator has a very simple structure, comprising only a tubular annular magnet, a cone box and an annular mesh cover. It has a simple structure and low production cost, and can achieve the technical effect of separating charged ions and uncharged gases. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Example 2, see attached Figure 1-7 A charged particle input device includes a power cylinder 1 and a target cylinder 5. The target cylinder transports gas to an ion generator through an air supply pipe, and the output end of the ion generator then transports the gas to a reactor 11. A regulating valve 2 and a Tesla valve 3 are provided on the air supply pipe of the target cylinder.

[0017] A power tube is provided at the output end of the power cylinder. The power tube conveys gas through the venturi tube 10 (tangential tube) and then enters the reactor. The output end of the ion generator is connected to the thinner middle section of the venturi tube. The power tube is provided with a regulating valve and a Tesla valve in sequence along the gas conveying direction.

[0018] The ion generator 7 comprises a reaction tube 7-3, within which are sequentially arranged a guide ring 7-6, an insulating ring 7-7, and a discharge wall 7-9. The ion generator 7 is characterized in that a meshed ion absorption shield 7-12 is provided on the outer side of the guide ring and connected to the positive electrode line 7-1, and a positive electrode ring 7-13 is provided on the inner wall of the guide ring. A magnetic rod 7-10 is provided in the center of the insulating ring, and a magnetic sleeve 7-11 is provided on the outer wall of the insulating ring. The magnetic fields of the magnetic rod and the sleeve are in opposite directions, forming a radial magnetic field unit. A discharge tip is provided on the inner side of the discharge wall, and the outer side is connected to the negative electrode line 7-5 and the ground line. An output connector 7-2 is provided on the positive electrode side of the reaction tube, and an input connector 7-4 is provided on the negative electrode side of the reaction tube. The ion absorption shield is multi-layered. The radial magnetic field unit is arranged in multiple groups in a linear manner, with an insulating layer connecting adjacent ends. The magnetic rods and the magnetic sleeves have the same magnetic polarity at adjacent ends, forming a radial magnetic field. The inner side of the discharge wall is provided with multiple layers of discharge rings, each layer of which is provided with multiple discharge tips 7-8 at the end. The magnetic sleeve is a tubular or annular magnet or coil. The guide ring and the positive electrode ring form multiple layers, offset and opposite to the discharge ring.

[0019] An ion separator 4 is installed at the output end of the ion generator, and the ion separator includes a cone box 4-2 with conical ends, which is arranged in an annular magnet 4-1; a tangential input hole 4-4 is opened in the middle of the cone box, which is connected to the output end of the ion generator; an ion output hole 4-8 is provided at the cone tip of the cone box, which is connected to the Venturi tube and the reactor; two annular protective mesh covers are provided on the inner wall of the cone box, which symmetrically surround the inner walls of the left and right cone tips, and the annular mesh cover 4-7 separates an annular air cavity 4-6 from the separation cavity 4-3 inside the cone box, and a gas output hole 4-5 is opened on the annular air cavity.

[0020] In order to save resources, the gas output hole is connected to the target cylinder through a return pipe, and the return pipe is provided with a neutralizing mesh cover 8, a target gas recovery compressor 6 and a regulating valve in sequence according to the gas flow direction.

[0021] In order to save resources, the outermost layer of the reactor is a single-hole layer, the center hole of which is connected to the power cylinder through a circulation pipe. The circulation pipe is equipped with energy-doping equipment (charged particles such as electrons produced by high-energy collisions, forming a magnetohydrodynamic power generation equipment), a neutralization mesh cover, a power gas recovery compressor 9 and a regulating valve in sequence according to the direction of gas flow.

[0022] Since the gas flow rate output from the center hole is large, a wider pipeline arrangement will affect the distance between the reactor and the magnet (coil), thereby affecting the magnetic field strength. Therefore, a shell is installed on the outer wall of the reactor, and lateral output holes are opened on the circumference of the shell.

[0023] The principles of this embodiment are as follows:

[0024] First, the target cylinder gas is controlled by a regulating valve to flow into the ion generator through a pipeline;

[0025] The ion generator produces a large number of charged ions, which then enter the ion separator;

[0026] The ion separator separates the neutral gas from the positive ion gas, and the neutral gas flows back through the reflux pipe. The positive ion gas passes through the tangential pipe (Venturi tube) and mixes with the high-pressure and high-speed gas in the power pipe, and then is tangentially fed into the reactor.

[0027] Further description with respect to the embodiment:

[0028] Regarding the ion generator: Inside the ion generator's reaction tube, the discharge end is connected to the ground wire and the negative electrode wire, and the guide ring is connected to the positive electrode wire. A strong, uneven electric field is formed between the discharge end and the guide ring, stimulating the negative electrode to emit electrons. Electrons, under the combined action of the Lorentz force and the electric field force, spiral in the electric and radial magnetic fields. The electrons collide with the gas, causing discharge phenomena such as corona and arcing, ionizing the gas and forming positive and negative particles. The continuously input target gas pushes the positive and negative particles forward. When they pass through the guide ring and the ion absorption shield connected to it, the positive electrode attracts and neutralizes the negative particles, leaving a mixed gas of positive ions that flows out of the output connector.

[0029] A radial magnetic field unit consisting of a magnetic rod and a magnetic sleeve is added to the ion generator. The interaction between the magnetic rod and the magnetic sleeve generates a radial magnetic field, which changes the electron motion path from the original linear motion to radial and axial spiral motion under the combined action of the Lorentz force and the electric field force. The probability of collision with gas molecules is greatly increased, and the electron and ion avalanche attempts to increase, generating more charged ions. When the radial magnetic field unit is a single group (such as the attached Figure 7 As shown in A), under the combined action of radial magnetic field and electric field, the radial and axial spiral motions of charged ions increase; when the radial magnetic field units are multiple groups (as shown in the attached Figure 7 As shown in B), the magnetic poles of the adjacent ends of the magnetic sleeves and magnetic rods are the same, so a mutually repelling magnetic field can be formed between the ends, and the magnetic rods and magnetic sleeves form a radial magnetic field, further increasing the radial and axial spiral motion trajectories of the ions, further increasing the probability of collision with gas molecules, and generating more charged ions;

[0030] There are multiple layers of concentric discharge rings on the inner side of the discharge wall, and multiple discharge tips (discharge terminals) are provided at the end of each layer of discharge ring. At the same time, there are multiple layers of positive rings on the inner wall of the guide ring, which are staggered and equidistant from the discharge rings to form more uneven electric field space and heat dissipation effect, which is conducive to more electrons to better impact gas molecules.

[0031] An ion absorption shield is installed on the outside of the guide ring. This shield is a mesh ring or cone, and can be single-layer or multi-layer. It absorbs ions (electrons). Technicians can extend the shield's length to increase the space for ion absorption, allowing for better absorption and neutralization of electrons, depending on experimental needs.

[0032] Regarding the ion separator: The mixed gas input from the ion generator enters the separation chamber tangentially and rotates. The ion separator, equipped with an annular magnet (or coil) that generates an axial magnetic field, causes the charged ions in the mixed gas to move toward the center. Continued pressurization of the mixed gas causes them to be discharged through the central ion output hole. Uncharged gas molecules, driven by centrifugal force, move toward the outer wall, passing through the annular mesh (shield) and into the annular gas chamber. The annular shield isolates the uncharged gas, which is then discharged through the gas output hole.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, the ion separator structure is very simple, comprising only a tubular annular magnet, a conical box and an annular mesh cover. It has a simple structure and low production cost, and achieves the technical effect of separating charged ions from uncharged gases. The separated gas can be recovered by a compressor and reused.
