On the possibility of developing the non-contact delivery system for cryogenic thermonuclear target transport to the IFE reactor

Resumo

It is proposed to use the HTSC quantum levitation phenomenon in magnetic fields of various configurations to develop the systems of contact-free positioning and transport of cryogenic fuel targets (CFTs) to the focus of a high-power laser installation or the IFE reactor. The results are presented of a large cycle of experimental studies using YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x superconducting ceramics and permanent magnet guideways based on various combinations of permanentmagnets to develop “CFT-MAGLEV” delivery systems.
