• Ion Drive using Modified Bench top Fusion Containment

    From Douglas Eagleson@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 19 18:08:25 2022
    I have a design for a Bench top fusion Generator. Like
    most attempts it will likely leak. It uses a Penning Trap
    for a cylindrical vessel. Think of a simple wire round
    solenoid type of affair. Super conducting of course.

    At each end are mirrors. I am ignorant of the exact
    valid mirror field. But believe whatever is attempted
    it will leak in relation to the energy density in
    containment.

    So why not use it as an ion drive. Maybe having
    one mirror be deviated for preferred ion emission.
    Making a mirrors the challenge.

    I do have a focusing Linac design. In the old days
    a simple solenoid accelerator was attempted.
    My magnets are confidential.

    just to put my mirror in perspective, the magnetic mirror
    has origins in the racetrack microtron . the designers had a
    double-d design where a continuous track field was
    given an energy step set of tracks. Of course the design
    had a ruff time having stable steps. ergo each step
    was given a focus magnet.

    The project was canceled unfortunately.

    this is just the origin. you will not be able to infer my
    path control design, btw.
