Description

Present plasma direct energy conversion (DEC) system has been developed since proposal of ARTEMIS. The system for D-3He reactor is composed of cusp-type DEC (CuspDEC) for particle discrimination, traveling wave DEC (TWDEC) for recovery of high energy protons, and secondary electron DEC (SEDEC) for recovery of extremely accelerated protons. Studies on each device are in the third stage, where higher capability of each device will be derived. Various proposals and examinations were reported and the present paper treats the researches comprehensively and shows explanation and discussion for some researches: separation of high density plasma and ion-ion separation in CuspDEC, studies on modulation in TWDEC, and improvement of electron collection in SEDEC.
