Fusion reactor apparatus

The present invention relates generally to fusion reactors comprising a pair of annular, coaxially disposed magnets. The magnets capture and store ion beams which are capable of being deflected through a target area located at the centre of the annuli. The present invention provides a target mechanism operative to dynamically pass the target material through the target area of each reactor. Where a plurality of reactors is provided, each reactor is arranged to use different forms of ion beams such that pre and post reaction treatment of the target material may conveniently be undertaken.
