Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for generating thermonuclear microexplosions includes a first pulsed high-voltage source configured for transmission of a first high-voltage pulse at a first high current. A second pulsed high voltage source is configured for transmission of a second high-voltage pulse at a potential higher than that of the first high-voltage pulse at a second high current having a magnitude less than that of the first high current. An inner transmission line is in electrical contact with the first pulsed high-voltage source, the inner line having a tapered end. An outer transmission line is disposed over the inner line and in electrical contact with the first pulsed high-voltage source. A deuterium-tritium mixture is disposed between the inner transmission line and the outer transmission line, the deuterium-tritium mixture having a tapered end spaced apart from the tapered end of said inner transmission line.
