POWER AND HEAT GENERATOR OF AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: recovery of agricultural waste with generation of power and heat. SUBSTANCE: invention can be readily used at pig fattening farms of agricultural complex in extreme northern regions. Plasma that takes shape of spirals due to conditions of its removal through concentric holes in opposite face wall is formed with portion-wise supply of methane with tritium-replaced hydrogen at temperature of 2500-3000 C. Whirl movement of plasma crossing lithium-beryllium bars initiates electric current in them which leads to conversion of thermal energy of electrons and high-energy ions to electric power. Evaporation of substance from surface of spirals results in their reactive pressing against linear discharge between pulse electrodes of capacitor bank. High-energy ions and neutrons acts on material of lithium and beryllium shells and reproduce tritium which replaces protium in methane which means that tritium is reproduced. Near opposite wall plasma is converted to vapor with non-condensing impurities in the form of CO₂ and He and forms fur coat close to surface of lithium shell diminishing cooling of plasma. Multiple repetition of microbursts in arc of arc electrode with evaporation of lithium with high repetition of microbursts provided by supply of methane ensures reproduction of tritium. Fast neutrons emerging with fusion of nuclei of tritium with high penetrating capacity act on lithium and beryllium of shells of heat exchanger. Arc electrodes are consumable material of low-temperature nuclear reaction. EFFECT: high reliability of supply of agricultural complex with heat and power. 1 cl, 1 dwg
