Preliminary Analysis of the Gradient Field Imploding Liner Fusion Propulsion Concept [STUB] - Mon 17 Sep 2018 04:44:PM
Abstract: NIAC Phase I study takes advantage of ground-based research in Magnetoinertial Fusion (MIF). Pulsed current in an external coil generates strong axial magnetic field, induces azimuthal current in target liner. Radial j (sub theta) B (sub z) Lorentz force implodes the liner to compress the target fuel. At maximum compression, pressure is balanced between the stagnating liner material, external magnetic field, trapped internal magnetic field, and fuel pressure. Multiple approaches: Z-pinch, the...
