Accelerator Based Fusion Reactor [PDF]
A feasibility study of fusion reactors based on accelerators is carried out. We consider a novel scheme where a beam from the accelerator hits the target plasma on the resonance of the fusion reaction and establish characteristic criteria for a workable ...

Comment on "Deuterium--tritium fusion reactors without external fusion breeding" by Eliezer et al
Inclusion of inverse Compton effects in the calculation of deuterium-deuterium burn under the extreme conditions considered by Eliezer et al. [Phys. Lett. A 243 (1998) 298] are shown to decrease the maximum burn temperature from about 300 keV to only 100-

Micro-Thermonuclear AB-Reactors for Aerospace
The author offers several innovations that he first suggested publicly early in 1983 for the AB multi-reflex engine, space propulsion, getting energy from plasma, etc. (see: A. Bolonkin, Non-Rocket Space Launch and Flight, Elsevier, London, 2006, Chapters 12, 3A). It is the micro-thermonuclear AB-Reactors.

Analysis of Solar Radiation Shielding in Space for Climate Mitigations of the Earth
Space solar shielding over the Earth. ABSTRACT Solar radiation modification (SRM) through space solar shielding is a proposed strategy to mitigate global warming. This approach involves reflecting sunlight back into space while allowing Earth's infrared radiation to escape, thereby controlling climate change.

Poisoning Mechanism Map for Metal Hydride Hydrogen Storage Materials
The poisoning mechanisms of impurity gases on hydrogen storage materials are classified into two basic categories. During hydrogenation, inactive gases cause a minimal blanket effect by physically obstructing H2 diffusion in H2‐impurity mixed gas, while active gases significantly poison materials by chemically limiting H2 absoprtion at interface.

Important problems of future thermonuclear reactors* [PDF]
Abstract This paper concerns important and difficult problems connected with a design and construction of thermonuclear reactors, which have to use nuclear fusion reactions of heavy isotopes of hydrogen, i.e., deuterium (D) and tritium (T).

Limitations of Hydrogen Detection After 150 Years of Research on Hydrogen Embrittlement
This article reviews the phenomenon of hydrogen embrittlement in metallurgy, tracing its historical origins and examining experimental limitations in detecting hydrogen at nanoatomic scales. It evaluates theoretical models and proposes that further development of experimental science is needed to either validate or disprove current HE theories ...
