Abstract:
1. A fusion-fission machine comprising: an outer housing defining a sealed housing chamber therein; and a magnetron positioned within the sealed housing chamber, said magnetron including an anode resonator having a central chamber and a plurality of radially disposed cavities around the central chamber that are in communication with the central chamber, said magnetron further including a cathode assembly having a cathode electrode and two sets of a plurality of concentric acceleration rings where the two sets of concentric acceleration rings are parallel to each other and provide an open gap therebetween, said cathode electrode being positioned proximate a center of the sets of concentric acceleration rings within the gap, said cathode electrode being configured to generate a proton plasma, said cathode assembly further including a proton target positioned at a location outside of the acceleration rings from the cathode electrode and extending across the gap, said two sets of concentric acceleration rings being configured to accelerate pulses of the protons in a radial manner through the gap between the two sets of acceleration rings to a speed that causes the proton pulses travelling within the gap between the sets of acceleration rings to collide with nuclei within the proton target to generate and emit alpha particles that are directed towards the anode resonator.
