FUSION REACTOR Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G21B1/00 

FIELD: thermonuclear fusion reactions.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for carrying out thermonuclear fusion reactions. The reactor contains a vacuum chamber made in the form of a hollow cylinder, the inner surface of which is lined with a coating of a porous material wetted by molten liquid metal lithium, and forming a cylindrical reflector, negative and positive electrodes located at the ends of the vacuum chamber and isolated from the vacuum chamber, located on the outside vacuum chamber starting heater and magnetic systems. The magnetic field lines of magnetic systems penetrate inside the vacuum chamber and form an impact on the plasma column towards the axis of the cylindrical vacuum chamber. In the upper part of the vacuum chamber and above its inner surface there is an annular ejector for supplying molten liquid metal lithium and forming a cylindrical reflector, the reactor is also equipped with a liquid metal lithium collection cavity, heated by a starting heater, connected by a pipeline through a circulation pump and a loop heat exchanger with an annular ejector. Moreover, the vacuum chamber is located vertically, and the magnetic systems form ring groups around the vacuum chamber and are arranged in a vertical stacking.

EFFECT: reduction of energy losses from radiation from the surface of the plasma column to the body of the vacuum chamber, reduction of leakage of deuterium and tritium from the synthesis zone, the possibility of utilizing high-temperature heat while simplifying the design.
