SIROTA METHOD OF CONDUCTING EXPLOSIVE REACTION, INCLUDING NUCLEAR OR THERMONUCLEAR REACTION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G21J3/00 

FIELD: atomic physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of conducting an explosive reaction, including a nuclear or thermonuclear reaction. An explosive reaction is carried out in the disclosed method by periodically blowing up an explosive device (7) in a mass of molten metal (2) or heated steam inside a pressure-resistant housing (1), through which heat accumulated in the said mass of molten metal or heated steam is collected. The explosive device is fed into the said mass through a channel with valve devices (4, 5, 6) which open when the explosive device passes inside the mass and close after the passage thereof until the moment of explosion of the explosive device. In the present method, the material used in the mass which accumulates the heat energy of the periodic explosions of explosive devices can be any substance except a metal or heated steam, suitable for the necessary heating in a molten state or steam; an explosive device in the form of a projectile is fired into the mass of each type of the said material or a mixture of the said materials, while fixing the explosion thereof in the required zone of the inner space of the said mass.

EFFECT: high efficiency of accumulating heat energy released from an explosion.
