摘要: An improved 3 He nuclear reactor with provision for direct electric conversion of a relativistic proton stream into useable power at voltage level compatible the national grid (one million V DC). Various embodiments include multiple collector cages extracting protons various energy levels, diverter wires deflecting high-energy streams to either side lower avoid unwanted impact. Other arrangements dividing multi-megavolt voltages down one megavolt grid. Further comprise guiding by cusps magnetron cavities permit energies microwave power. A proposal is also made harvesting from Moon supply earth-bound and space-bound reactors. solution problem charging potential well-forming anode in an electrostatic fusion without electrical arcing further disclosed.
