Colliding Beam Fusion Reactor

Research and development continues for a system of colliding hydrogen and boron-11 beams within a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) of a cylindrical, rotating plasma with magnetic selective self-confinement. The design provides for direct extraction of energy with Direct Energy Conversion (DEC) at over 80% efficiency. Research includes theoretical study with Vlasov and Fokker-Planck equations.

An artist’s conception of a power station with such a reactor is shown here:
