Section: claims

1. A field reversed magnetic field configuration fusion reactor system comprising:a reactor chamber in a field reversed magnetic field configuration;a gas injection system for injecting deuterium and helium-3 fuel into the reactor chamber for fusion reactions;a plurality of radio frequency (RF) antennae configured to generate an odd-parity rotating magnetic field capable of causing a plasma to heat to a temperature sufficient to cause fuel ions to fuse to produce fusion products;a plurality of superconducting flux coils around the reactor chamber in which an induced current is generated in response to the odd-parity rotating magnetic field, wherein the induced current generates a magnetic confinement field that magnetically confines the plasma; anda direct energy conversion system that is configured to extract energy from the fusion products, resulting from fusion reactions in the plasma, that pass through a scrape-off layer. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein power is extracted from Bremsstrahlung radiation and synchrotron radiation generated by the fusion reactions using a heat engine and high temperature heat exchangers. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the scrape-off layer is configured to allow the fusion products resulting from fusion reactions to pass through before the energy from the fusion products is extracted in the direct energy conversion system.
