Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, devices, and systems for producing and controlling and fusion activities of nuclei. Hydrogen atoms or other neutral species (neutrals) are induced to rotational motion in a confinement region as a result of ion-neutral coupling, in which ions are driven by electric and magnetic fields. The controlled fusion activities cover a spectrum of reactions including aneutronic reactions such as proton-boron-11 fusion reactions.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the control system is configured to:\n (a) apply the potential difference between all or a substantial fraction of the electrodes in the first set of electrodes and all or a substantial fraction of the electrodes in the second set of electrodes at the same time to produce the electric field in the confinement region that is directed at least in part in an axial direction with respect to the substantially cylindrical inner surface; and (b) after (a), sequentially apply the one or more potentials to each of the plurality of electrodes in an azimuthally sequential manner to maintain the rotational movement of the ions and neutrals in the confinement region.
