Direct laser fusion system and method for energy generation

Abstract

A laser fusion system comprising a reactor housing having an interior region maintained as a vacuum, a plurality of aperture regions spatially disposed along a periphery of the reactor housing, each of the aperture regions having an aperture size of A, a reaction region within a vicinity of a spatially centre region of the reactor housing, a plurality of cavity regions numbered from 1 through N in communication with the reaction region, each configured through a pair of aperture regions opposing each other, and extending outside of the reaction region such that they form a hub and spoke configuration, each cavity region comprising a first and second mirror, each first mirror coupled to a laser light source such that a laser beam propagating from the laser light source between the two mirrors increases from a first intensity to an Mth intensity after M cycles of laser beam propagation, and a delivery device to deliver a fusion fuel pellet or hohlraum to the centre of the reactor housing for ignition. The cavity regions may also have a Fabry Perot resonant cavity at their ends.
