303 results about "Nuclear fusion" patented technology

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons). The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or absorption of energy. This difference in mass arises due to the difference in atomic "binding energy" between the atomic nuclei before and after the reaction. Fusion is the process that powers active or "main sequence" stars, or other high magnitude stars.

Stochastic mantle for magnetic fusion devices

All magnetic nuclear fusion devices face common technical challenges related to power and particle control arising from the close proximity of a thermonuclear plasma to the plasma-facing component. The plasma-facing component is subjected to high incident power density and erosion processes, and must facilitate the efficient remove of the fusion-ash. In the past, limiters and divertors have been used in magnetic fusion devices for this purpose. These are discussed and extended to a new concept, the “stochastic mantle”, which utilizes a stochastic magnetic field layer to disperse power on the plasma-facing component to the maximum extent possible. Further, if operated at sufficient plasma collisionality, it reduces the energy of particles incident on the plasma-facing component, globally reducing erosion by physical sputtering, while producing high gas pressures for fusion-ash removal through pumping ducts. The approach is particular suited for stellarators, but others devices may be considered.
