METHOD OF DELIVERING A CRYOGENIC FUEL TARGET FOR CONTROLLED INERTIAL THERMONUCLEAR SYNTHESIS, A SYSTEM AND A CARRIER Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G21B1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a cryogenic fuel target (CFT) delivery means for controlled inertial thermonuclear synthesis, a system for realizing said method and a carrier for use in such a system. In the proposed method, each cryogenic fuel target is placed in a carrier made in the form of a magnetic dipole from a superconductor of the second kind; placing carrier on starting position in transport channel equipped with system of linear electromagnetic accelerator in form of sequence of solenoids, magnetic rail and control circuit; carrier is accelerated from starting position by means of linear electromagnetic accelerator due to series excitation by control circuit of solenoids in process of carrier levitation above magnetic rail.

EFFECT: technical result is expansion of functional capabilities of cryogenic fuel target delivery device for controlled inertial thermonuclear synthesis due to increased transverse instability of carrier motion, avoiding CFT damage due to heat influx from carrier friction against walls, as well as elimination of wedging of carrier and contamination of atmosphere of reactor chamber by moving gas and acceleration of superconducting CFT carrier to speed higher than 400 m/s.
