(February 17, 2010) Chris Llewellyn Smith, Vice President of the Royal Society and Visiting Professor at Oxford, discusses the advantages of fusion power for meeting the future energy needs of a still growing and modernizing world population with special emphasis on the technical challenges of tokamak fusion facilities, in particular the ITER project.

    Through the whirlpool of the magnetic trap are turned and the neutrons. This is the mode of unfolding of the thermonuclear reaction from Sun. The waiting as the collision of fusion let it make accidental or aleatory is not a solution for a commercial installation. Thus after the lateral coupling proton-neutron-proton-neutron in alpha particle, this will attract and will fix rigid and two electrons forming the normal atom of helium(4/2He).

  • SandustanBrasov

    In the tokamak installation the plasma's components(= protons, neutrons and electrons), it can not arrange in lateral unuion as let form alpha particles, respective atoms of normal helium(4/2He). Viz, it can not confine the plasmas's components and it can not realize the starting of the thermonuclear reaction of fusion.

  • SandustanBrasov

    The introduction in whirlpool through plasmatron to the fuel: deuterium and tritium under shape of plasma and in magnetic turning field will go at the arrangement for the lateral unuion of the protons and neutrons in alpha particles. Thus, the electrical particles of the plasma together with neutrons, through union in alpha particles, respecticve in atoms of normal helium(4/2He), become neutral from electrical viewpoint and they will can go out through the magnetic trap.

    In place let it examine the qualities, the specific features of the chemical matters and the ethereal matters, as let's can create the functional devices, it make only animations on personal computer, as let it hoax the terrestrial world with the thermonuclear plasma in 2018, in 2050, or with the fusion in 2100. The actual ITER project is only a scientific confusion in a practical realization to one practical installation, for to consumer of money of the tax payer.

    The spherical thermonuclear combustion chamber is formed from two joined semispherical parts. The feeding with fuel and electromagnetic filed flux it make through the oriffices from the central part of the semispheres, and the emergence in outside to the electromagnetic field flux it make through the maximum zone, where is joined the semispheres. The two high-speed motors are rotated in the same sense for to establishes a direct electric field between collectors.

    This reactor has spherical combustion chamber, with inner magnetic trap, with the electromagnetic field realized outside and introduced inside the sphere with electromagnetic field and fuel introduction device, and direct colected possibilitys of electrcal energy, with semispherical collectors. The device of introduction is composed from: 1).-two high-speed motors with plasmatron in its central zone; 2).-two magnetic circuits for leading the electromagnetic field flux.

    Thus, with a sure magnetic trap, without switchs of heat and with the direct extraction to the electrical energy=to the particles of electrical ether, it can pass direct at the final phase of obtaining to the commercial controlled thermonuclear reactor. I consider that the price of research and realization in this case, can be of at least 10 times more small than the actual ITER project, and separated can be realized of many countries.

    I turn the globe of plasma for to realize the magnetohydrodynamic principle of directly extraction of the particles of current(electrical ether). The atoms of helium after formation can pass through the texture of the magnetic trap as residue. The electromagnetic field of the magnetic trap must let enter with power for to space out, to press, and turn with 800 m/s the globe of plasma and afterwards fastly let go outside.

    Feeding a superconductive coil with an electrical current it obtain in the her round only a magnetic field. But disposing in the round of the superconductive coil a certain magnetic and dielectric pieces, it obtain the variation of the electrical permitivity and of the magnetic permeability, which will transform the magnetic field of the superconductive coil in electromagnetic field, which can evolve(go) more faraway in space, without to close immediately the curl.

  • SandustanBrasov

    In the magnetic trap of the tokamak installation it produce only magnetic field which it maintain in the round of the coil without to fulfil the role of magnetic trap. The electromagnetic field can evolve(go) in space and in the interior of one spherical chamber, can be weaved in order to form a stratified network, which let hold the particles of the thermonuclear plasma.
