Particle in Cell (PIC) simulation has been used to design a quasi-spherical, net power, deuterium fueled, fusion reactor incorporating high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets. Using the principles of Magneto-Electrostatic Trap design of Yushmanov(1980) the reactor is predicted to have power-balance Q = 7, improving on the classic Polywell design by incorporating HTS magnets and a high-current deuteron ion beam. With these improvements, a hexahedral reactor of only 4m diameter is predicted to produce 100 megawatts of net power, in a design that is suitable for practical commercial fusion power production. |
