(Resonator) Phased Standing Waves to harness Fusion
Energy in a Clean, Safe, and Environmentally Friendly
Way
The Cross Fire Fusion Reactor is quite simple in its
essence; conceptually it uses steady-state multipole
magnetic fields combined with helicoidal moving
electromagnetic forces to both accelerate and trap
isotropically the plasma, in an energy-efficient way,
for inducing fusion reactions but allowing the charged
byproducts to escape to be forced to wor against
rotating!mo"ing electromagnetic fields for con"erting
inetic energy directly into electric power to supply the
grid in a clean and safe way#
The magnetic fields can withstand
"ery high-temperature
ion plasma $r%m"!q&'

Fusion energy is the only that can
effecti"ely be at the same time a clean, safe,
dense and en"ironmentally friendly power
source to supply the world(s energy needs,
with no greenhouse gases, no long-term
radioacti"e waste, no large land areas, no
interruptions by the weather or time of day,
easy shutdown, no meltdowns and no
proliferation, bringing a peaceful and
prosperous future to )arth#
The Multiphase Accelerator also can be
implemented with a resonator $phased *+ , -0.
/0.0 -/0. 110.0 2 orthogonally disposed quarter-
wa"e$34' spaced' instead of concentric helix-coils in
order to deal with the s!in effect without lit" #ire for
similarly producing mo"ing electromagnetic forces in
both radial and a5ial directions resulting in helicoidal
mo"ing forces for both accelerating and confining
radially and unidirectionally neutral plasma#
6t can accelerate and decelerate neutral-plasma with
optimal power transfer; it is to be shorter with much
more torque than 7inacs#

The $nergy Converter also uses Multiphase
Resonator but with purpose of decelerating for
con"erting inetic energy into electric power# 9imilarly
to a T:T!;lystron, the fast fusion byproducts boost
the rotating electromagnetic fields produced by the
phased standing wa"es, thereby electrodynamically
transferring energy to be effecti"ely har"ested by
diode bridge rectifiers of the system#
Ions naturally
are split apart
by moving magnetic
fields, seed for

The neutral plasma pellets are accelerated by the
helicoidal moving forces toward the chamber interior
reaching enough inetic energy for fusions to tae
place# 6n few micrograms of fusion fuel, there are
trillions and trillions of atomic nuclei, and also free
electrons that can decrease the <oulomb repulsion,
then fusion reactions are far more liely to tae place#
The resulting charged fusion byproducts are confined
quasi-isotropically by the steady-state multipole
magnetic fields, but run away through the resonators
transferring energy to the $nergy Converters while
decelerating to be afterward collected, and the
byproducts and unburned fuels separated to impro"e
the fuel utili=ation#

of the energy released is in the form of charged

8ll #aste heat produced by the fusion reactor, and its
peripherals, can be recycled into electric power by the
Multiphase &hermoelectric Converter in order to
increase the o"erall efficiency o"er /0D for ensuring
net energy gain#
The #aste heat comes mainly from the
electromagnetic radiation in the reactor(s core, mostly
in P-ray range $(remsstrahlung' that is shielded by the
tungsten layers#
The Multiphase &hermoelectric Converter operates
by radially forcing the hot coolant to push a5ially
the electrical charges against electric!magnetic
fields# 8nd it also can be implemented with
multiphase resonator instead of
concentric helix-coils#

10 billion tons!year of arbon dio$ide $<Q ' by only
10000 tons!year of non-radioacti"e, inert, and safe helium-

The !usion !uels are readily a"ailable and "irtually

This process can reduce <Q concentration and increase
o5ygen in the atmosphere, producing hydrogen for fuel
cells and methanol for "ehicles; methanol is relati"ely
