Description
Three different non-tokamak fusion mechanisms are examined, involving plasma filaments formed from gaseous, liquid or solid deuterium. Results from previous experiments, in which up to 1012 neutrons were produced, point to non-thermal fusion mechanisms. The role of electrodynamic forces, including those predicted by Ampere's force law, are investigated as the possible mechanism of ion acceleration. (orig.)
