Development of an efficient pulsed magnet for improvement of inertial electrostatic confinement fusion

Preliminary results of a miniature cylindrical inertial electrostatic confinement fusion device equipped with inductively coupled plasma generator

“…Reduction of the electrodes diameter reduces the charge exchange reactions which are the reactions that reduce the ions energy before reaching the energy levels required for nuclear fusion reaction. In addition, due to the small diameter of the vacuum chamber which is 7 cm, it is easy to utilize the device with magnetic field of pulsed magnet [18] for further investigations which is our future plan. In addition, equipment of the device with cooling for the cathode makes it possible to increase the voltage more than 80 kV.…”
