Neutron generator
Creators
Description
A neutron generator utilizing relatively small plasma pulses which are constantly re-created in the reaction chamber in a conventional manner by injecting pulses of a fuel such as deuterium or deuterium and tritium, in either a gaseous or small solid pellet form, ionizing the same and compressing the same to form a plasma, while surrounding the plasma with a working gas such as hydrogen under pressure moving longitudinally through the chamber and carrying the plasma with it. As each pulse of plasma is dissipated into the working gas and carried out of the chamber , this completes its life cycle. New cycles are initiated in an appropriate manner to maintain an orderly and nearly continuous energy addition and extraction to and through the background gas
