| has gloss | eng: The Magnetic and Electrostatic Nuclear Fusion Reactor, or simply CrossFire Fusor, is a nuclear fusion reactor whose fundamental idea was conceived in 2008 by Moacir L. Ferreira Jr., in order to overcome inherent limits of previous fusion approaches in producing fusion energy at significant rates. The CrossFire Fusor is comprised by six superconducting magnets disposed to form a magnetic cusp region where positive ions are injected. At the magnetic cusp region, a negative voltage is applied, and at the opposite end of each magnet, a positive voltage is applied. The ions are accelerated electrostatically towards the negative potential passing through the magnetic cusp reaching the chamber interior, where the ions are confined radially by magnetic fields, and longitudinally by electric fields. The ion injection is done continuously, surrounding the magnetic cusp region to perform a three-dimensional injection. The positive voltage is controlled to confine only reactants, thus allowing the products from the fusion reactions to escape. |
