A system and methods to produce usable electrical power from the energy produced by events of hot nucleosynthesis in a cold containment of flowing water driven by pulsating magneto-hydrodynamic drives used generate sustained repetition of nucleosynthesis events and collect the electrical charge potential from the ionization products caused by the ionizing radiant energy from the sustained repetitive nucleosynthesis events as a self-contained hydro-electric dynamo.

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for generating heat from nuclear fusion. The methods and systems utilize host materials (such as metal nanoparticles) to host fusionable materials (such as deuterium). The host materials and/or fusionable materials are irradiated with electromagnetic radiation that induces phonon vibrations in the host material and/or fusionable materials. The phonon vibrations screen the Coulombic repulsion between fusionable material nuclei, thereby increasing a rate of nuclear fusion even at relatively low temperature and pressures. The methods and systems give rise to nuclear fusion reactions which produce energy or heat. The heat may be converted into useful energy using systems and methods for efficient heat dissipation and thermal management.

A device and a method of heating nano- to micro-scale light absorbent particles within a flashtube designed to sequentially emit intense light, followed by an intense pressure wave. The flashtube device includes a housing and a central filament surrounded by the housing. An inner surface of the housing can be coated with light-scattering particles and/or light-absorbing particles. The filament is generally held in a superconducting state.

The present invention relates to a system for a system for generating energetic particles including a device for generating an ion beam comprising a first group of atomic nuclei, and a condensed matter medium comprising a second group of atomic nuclei. The ion beam is configured to interact with the condensed matter medium so that some atomic nuclei of the first group of atomic nuclei are implanted into the condensed matter medium and undergo a first nuclear reaction thereby releasing a first energy. The ion beam is further configured to generate high-frequency phonons in the condensed matter medium. The high-frequency phonons are configured to interact with the second group of atomic nuclei and affect nuclear states of the second group of atomic nuclei by transferring the first energy of the first group of atomic nuclei to the second group of atomic nuclei and causing the second group of atomic nuclei to undergo a second nuclear reaction and emit energetic particles.

Embodiments of systems and methods for compressing plasma are described in which plasma pressures above the breaking point of solid material can be achieved by injecting a plasma into a funnel of liquid metal in which the plasma is compressed and/or heated.

A device for generating compressed fluids includes a first process chamber for a first reaction material; a second process chamber for a second reaction material; a third process chamber for a fluid intended for compression; a unit for determining the nebulization and the consequent inlet of the first reaction material into process chamber; a unit intended for determining the emission of radio waves with variable frequencies in the direction of the process chamber, where the radio waves emitted by the unit interact with the first and second reaction material contained in third process chamber, for producing a high-energy plasma warms and thereby compresses the fluid contained in second process chamber.

Examples of systems for imploding liquid liner are described. The imploding system comprises a vessel and a rotating member positioned within the vessel. The rotating member has a plurality of shaped blades that form a plurality of curved passages that have an inboard opening at an inner surface and an outboard end at an outer surface. The rotating member is at least partially filled with liquid medium. A driver is used to rotate the rotating member such that when the rotating member rotates the liquid medium is forced into the passages forming a liquid liner with an interface curved with respect to an axis of rotation and defining a cavity. The system further comprises an implosion driver that changes the rotational speed of the rotating member such that the liquid liner is imploded inwardly collapsing the cavity. The imploding liquid liner can be used in plasma compression systems.

A magnetic confinement system includes a magnetic minor device that includes a chamber to hold a target plasma and a coil arrangement to generate a magnetic field configuration in the chamber to confine the target plasma in cylindrically-symmetric form in the chamber, the magnetic field configuration having open ends. The magnetic confinement system further includes plasma guns to generate plasma pistons and project the plasma pistons at the open ends of the magnetic field configuration. In operation, the plasma pistons converge towards each other to close the open ends of the magnetic field configuration and to compress and heat the target plasma.

A nuclear fusion system includes: a muon generation unit for generating negative muons; a gas supply unit for circulating and supplying gaseous deuterium or gaseous deuterium-tritium mixture as raw material gas for a nuclear fusion reaction; and a Laval nozzle for accelerating the raw material gas to supersonic velocity including a flow regulation portion in which the muons are decelerated and a reaction portion in which the nuclear fusion reaction occurs, wherein an oblique shockwave, which is generated as a result of collision of a shock wave generator arranged inside the reaction portion and the raw material gas accelerated to supersonic velocity, converges on a center axis of the Laval nozzle, and thereby a high-density gas target is retained in a gas phase, and wherein the muons are introduced into the high-density gas target, and thereby the nuclear fusion reaction is caused to occur.

A thermo-kinetic reactor and process where a micro-packet of a mixture of air, fuel, and water are exposed to high energy ultrasound, a high frequency electromagnetic field, and thermal energy self-generated to initiate micro-nuclear fusion. A reaction chamber with a nozzle and adjacent resonance chamber form micro-packets and micro-explosions. The micro-explosions form high negative pressure bubbles which implode accelerating fusible elements towards a center forming a nucleus generating kinetic energy.
