Magnetized Cylindrial Targets for Heavy Ion Fusion

---

Cylindrical targets are promising as an alternative approach to heavy ion fusion (HIF)[1], as well as for basic science-oriented experiments in the near future [2]. In my PhD thesis (available as download), I have investigated basic properties of such targets. In difference to spherical heavy ion fusion targets, the cylindrical targets can be driven directly by a single ion beam, while axial magnetic fields (for heat insulation) can be applied to the targets prior to  implosions. In cylindrical targets,  the magnetic field geometry is consistent with the target; this is the main difference to other approaches to magnetized target fusion [3].

  

Figure: Schematic view of a magnetized cylindrical target. The target consists of a metallic tube filled with fuel plasma at low density. An axial magnetic field ( indicated by B) is applied externally before the implosion. The driving ion beam then heats the outer part of of the hollow cylinder; it expands radially and drives the inner part of the tube (pusher) towards the axis, as indicated by arrows. A typical size of the targets is approximately 1-3mm in radius and 10-30mm in length.

The most prominent features of magnetized cylindrical fusion targets are:

• ignition at reduced fuel \rhor, 
• relaxed demands on the driver pulse duration and power,  
• total energies comparable to standard ICF

Targets operate in the hot-spot ignition mode: a fuel reservoir is ignited from a small spark, high gain relies on the propagation of a burn wave along the cylinder axis. Due to the absence of shock heating during implosions, one has to start from high fuel temperatures (T\simeq100 eV) brought into the target from outside; this is essentially the scheme of injected  entropy as suggested by Caruso et al. [4]Heavy ion beams planned for the near future at GSI and  ITEP may allow implosion experiments at pulse energies below 100kJ. Magnetization effects would manifest in enhanced peak fuel temperatures and corresponding DD fusion neutron yields. To prevent rapid diffusive loss of the magnetic flux, one has to fulfill certain conditions on the initial fuel temperature and the product of implosion velocity and fuel radius. Detailed results can be found in MPQ Report 261.

And ....ops....I love this. Process and apparatus for producing ultrafine explosive particles

Process and apparatus for producing ultrafine explosive particles 
EP 0600881 B1

SAMENVATTING  (tekst uit WO1993004018A1)

A method and an improved eductor apparatus for producing ultrafine explosive particles is disclosed. The explosive particles, which when incorporated into a binder system, have the ability to propagate in thin sheets, and have very low impact sensitivity and very high propagation sensitivity. A stream of a solution of the explosive dissolved in a solvent is thoroughly mixed with a stream of an inert nonsolvent so as to obtain nonlaminar flow of the streams by applying pressure against the flow of the nonsolvent stream, to thereby diverge the stream as it contacts the explosive solution, and violently agitating the combined stream to rapidly precipitate the explosive particles from the solution in the form of generally spheroidal, ultrafine particles. The two streams are injected coaxially through continuous, concentric orifices of a nozzle into a mixing chamber. Preferably, the nonsolvent stream is injected centrally of the explosive solution stream. The explosive solution stream is injected downstream of and surrounds the nonsolvent solution stream for a substantial distance prior to being ejected into the mixing chamber.

mark 21 nuclear bomb...can I carry this ? :)

Ordnance that will end major wars. Thank Israel Last night I found the patent for the new munitions that are winning the war in Syria. This ordnance combines a thermobaric or fuel-air explosive and a warhead for generating non-nuclear electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).

Launchable unit 
US 8434412 B2

RESUMO

A launchable unit including a warhead for generating non-nuclear electro magnetic pulses and a thermobaric warhead without dangerous fragments. The warheads in combination are arranged to operate in different modes dependent on target types and/or objectives with engagement controlled by the aiming and setting of the weapon by a gunner.

So, let's move on...you already understand that when they refer to "energetic" they are referring "fusion" , which means the detonation, provokes, a nucleic reaction as discovered on the atomic bomb. One of the most important explosives, is the consistent properties of nitrogen. Nitrogen-Rich High Explosives

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/430_2007_057

The possibility of new high explosives based on nitrogen-rich tetrazole building blocks is discussed. The expected advantages include gaseous products, high heats of formation, high propulsive/expolosive power, high specific impulse, and high flame temperatures. In addition, these new explosives do not have the toxicity and environmental activity of currently used organo-nitro explosives. The synthesis and characteristics of a series of neutral tetrazole compounds are looked at as well as the neutral nitramine, dinitrobiuret.

of course, no se pasa nada compadres. So, what do I have here, another "energetic" explosive? Do I mean, a fantastic replacement of the nuclear bomb?

Explosive laser
US 3904985 A

RESUMO

A laser system wherein reaction products from the detonation of a condensed explosive expand to form a gaseous medium with low translational temperature but high vibration population. Thermal pumping of the upper laser level and de-excitation of the lower laser level occur during the expansion, resulting in a population inversion. The expansion may be free or through a nozzle as in a gas-dynamic configuration. In one preferred embodiment, the explosive is such that its reaction products are CO2 and other species that are beneficial or at least benign to CO2 lasing.

So, fast and effective. what is nuclear y ray? "When an electron and positron annihilate, both their masses are destroyed, creating two equal energy photons to preserve momentum. (a) Confirm that the annihilation equation e + + e − → γ + γ conserves charge, electron family number, and total number of nucleons" (nuclear y ray bomb)

y-ray laser weapon - Adding mass to light (In laser weaponry) to convert it to kinetic energy

Light has zero rest mass; that's not the same as it having zero mass. The mass of a photon can be derived from its energy using the good ol' E=mc2$E=m{c}^2$, and the photon's energy depends on its frequency.

Photons always travel at the speed of light, regardless of their frequency or how fast you move while observing them. Since momentum depends on mass and velocity, and the velocity of light is fixed, you can also derive the momentum of a photon from its frequency.

This means that to increase the total momentum of a laser, there are two things you can do: increase the frequency of the photons or add more photons.

You might still largely have to hand wave after that though, because the amount of energy you need to add to get any serious momentum from light is so high, the kinetic effects would be largely irrelevant.

For example, you say the output is a purple beam. So lets say you are blueshifting down to violet and then adding photons to increase momentum. Violet is 380-450nm, so say 400nm. That means each photon has an energy of 5×10−19$5\times {10}^{-19}$J and a momentum of 1.7×10−27$1.7\times {10}^{-27}$ kg m/s. For comparison, per wikipedia a 5.56 NATO cartridge has a momentum of 3.8 kg m/s. If you multiply out the number of photons to get 3.8 kg m/s of momentum, your laser's energy will be 1.1GJ, which wolframalpha helpfully tells me is equivalent to detonating a quarter of a ton of TNT.

As for Newton's third law, well momentum must be conserved. However much momentum you add to the laser is equivalent to the recoil you will feel when you fire the weapon. So in the above example, we have a laser gun with about as much recoil as a normal M-16 that hits like a decently sized bomb. If that sounds good, great.

If not, I recommend hand-waving more. Whether or not your magic device handwaves conservation of momentum depends on how much kinetic energy you want to impart in the target. If it's smallish, just accept it as recoil, otherwise handwave it.

Keep in mind that just because your laser doesn't have much momentum of its own doesn't mean it can't throw things around. Hitting something with a lot of laser energy will cause rapid ablation - parts of the surface will heat up so fast that they explode outward in one direction, which also pushes the object back in the other direction, away from the laser. You don't have to worry about the laser's momentum here because the momentum of the object comes from the equal and opposite momentum of the surface being blown off. This would be a case of the photon energy being converted into kinetic energy in the target.
