Computational Modeling of the Axial-Cylindrical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion Neutron Generator
The axial-cylindrical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement fusion neutron generator (IEC C-Device) is a high-voltage, low-pressure glow discharge device that produces neutrons from the deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction. Such a neutron source has potential applications for neutron activation …

Improved lifetimes and synchronization behavior in multi-grid inertial electrostatic confinement fusion devices
… mature nuclear concepts of solidcore fission and fusion Tokamaks do not satisfy the lightweight criteria due to massive radiators and magnets respectively. An attractive alternative is Inertial Electrostatic Confinement fusion. This extremely lightweight option has been studied extensively and to …

Experimental Study of Proton Rate Density in a Spherical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion Device
Also, during the progress of this dissertation, two valuable SIEC derivatives--an SIEC wavelength tunable x-ray source (SIEC-TX) and an IEC linear neutron source device (C-device)--have been developed. The SIEC-TX generates x-rays by electron-electron interactions at relativistic velocity at the …

Collimation of deuterium / 3-helium fusion products for advanced spacecraft propulsion and power
… and power systems involve thermonuclear fusion plasma systems. In this class it is well accepted that d-He3 fusion is the most promising of the fuel candidates for spacecraft applications as the 14.7 MeV protons carry up to 80% of the total fusion power while ‘s have energies less than 4 …
