Introduction

Post by Cedric Soares »

Hello, I am Cedric Soares, I studied electromechanical engineering. I am a amateur scientist, doing indempended research on fusion. I am researching inertial electrostatic confinement/magnetic confinement with the objective of maximizing ion collision probability, otimizing ionization efficiency and raise average ion energy closer to maximum ion energy at collision.

Cedric,

Interesting set of beam photos. Can you elaborate on what we're looking at?

Based on the last photo it appears that you have an ion gun on the left side emitting a beam into the first chamber where magnetic (or electrostatic?) focusing takes place. Then the beam goes through a middle chamber and enters the right side chamber where the beam becomes brighter (higher pressure or higher potential?) and then goes through another focus and finally into a metal beam stop at the right end. Do I have it right and what's in the middle chamber?

In these image i was testing the magnetic field shape to determine if it was able to focus electrons, the bottom is negative with a neutral disk spaced 2mm on top with a 1.5 mm hole, on the center there is a monopole magnet with the positive lead, there is a 1.5kV potential diference between the bottom and middle, the beam formed on the top is electrons that are decelerating, it is all one chamber, with a 6Pascal Absolute pressure.
