LASER FUSION REACTOR AND ITS CONTROL MEMBERS; SOURCE PRODUCT FOR PRODUCING ACTIVE MEDIUM AND ITS PRODUCTION PROCESS; LASER FUSION REACTOR CONTROL PROCEDURE; SUPERCONDUCTING NUCLEAR CONDENSATE AND ITS PRODUCTION IN LASER FUSION REACTOR; SOLID PRODUCT OF CONTROLLED NUCLEAR FUSION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear power engineering; development of environmentally friendly power supplies and superhigh-power laser plants using new functioning principle; experimental nuclear physics; production of new materials including separation of chemical elements in controlled low-temperature nuclear fusion process. SUBSTANCE: laser fusion reactor has vacuum chamber accommodating tank holding active medium (liquid metal or its alloys), two control members in the form of metal blanks of active medium material, accelerated electron source, and control-members operating mechanisms. Active medium production process is characterized in that mass of metal or its alloy in liquid state is raised during its irradiation by accelerated electrons and brought to critical value. Laser fusion reactor is controlled by varying distance between control members and/or between them and active medium surface. Liquid metal product obtained in laser fusion reactor is, essentially, superconducting nuclear liquid-metal plasma. It is produced by bringing mass of liquid metal or its alloy to critical value during its heating by accelerated electrons and shifting control members closer to each other and/or to molten metal or its alloy surface. Solid product obtained is, essentially, solidified liquid-metal ingot containing in its volume chemical elements formed in the course of nuclear fusion. Reactor uses known electronic oven as its structural element. EFFECT: discovery of new properties of metal in liquid state when heated by accelerated electrons. 14 cl, 5 dwg
