Section: claims

1. A confinement chamber for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF), the chamber comprising:a chamber wall comprising a plurality of holes, wherein the holes are positioned to receive x-ray radiation from an ICF target containing nuclear fusion fuel;a plurality of pipes coupled to the plurality of holes and radiating outward and perpendicular-to the chamber wall, wherein each of the plurality of pipes has the substantially same cross-sectional shape along a common length of each of the plurality of pipes; anda plurality of gas injection nozzles coupled to the plurality of pipes, wherein the plurality of gas injection nozzles are configured to deposit a gas into the plurality of pipes prior to the activation of an external drive mechanism operable to deliver energy to compress the ICF target. 2. The chamber of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pipes radiate outward from the chamber wall in a direction that is parallel with a direction of the x-ray radiation from the ICF target. 3. The chamber of claim 1, wherein the gas comprises nitrogen. 4. The chamber of claim 1, further comprising a directional output sleeve configured to direct the x-ray radiation from the ICF target towards the plurality of holes. 5. The chamber of claim 1, wherein the chamber wall is cylindrical with two rounded ends, wherein the plurality of holes are located on the two rounded ends. 6. The chamber of claim 1, wherein the plurality of holes and the plurality of pipes have a hexagonal cross-section. 7. The chamber of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pipes have a cross-section with a varying radius along the length of each of the plurality of pipes.
