title: Scientific Report on the Viability of a Compact Toroidal Reactor

description: 1- Resumen

 

1.1- Introductory prologue

 

This report presents an in-depth analysis of the feasibility of a compact toroidal reactor for clean and renewable energy generation. The study integrates concepts from quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with advanced plasma physics, focusing on self-sustaining confinement without external magnetic coils.

 

1.2- Theoretical Framework

 

The model combines QED and QCD principles to explain the physics of plasma where free ions, not electrostatically shielded, exist asymptotically. Alfven waves create strong nuclear (ionic) coupling coefficients, defining an asymptotic freedom distance analogous to the Debye length.

In a neutral plasma zone, the resonant Alfven wave is assisted by emerging monopoles in a Kekulé-doped graphene toroid confined by a zirconium-stabilized yttria capsule coated internally with silicon nitride or aluminum oxide. As ions move away from the asymptotic freedom surface, the nuclear coupling factor grows, increasing the helical nature of ionic (QCD) and electronic (QED) current waves. This process enhances self-magnetic confinement, resulting in gradual magnetic reconnection.

 

1.3- Computational Simulations and Tools

 

The following software tools were employed for validation:

 

Quantum Espresso:

 

• Simulation of magnetic imbalance interactions in Kekulé-doped graphene.

• Assessment of self-sustaining plasma confinement without external coils.

• Study of the impact of emerging monopoles on plasma stability.

 

COMSOL Multiphysics:

 

• Simulation of heat transfer and thermal distribution in the reactor.

• Optimization of thermoacoustic energy conversion.• Modeling of thermal losses and dissipation in the transition to self-sustainability.
