A Prototype Electron-Positron Fusion Reactor

Abstract

In a previous paper [1] we established the possibility of the advantage of using the bombardment of electron-positron beams to produce commercial electrical energy. We consider the design of such a prototype reactor using 100 KJ laser beams to produce electron-positron beams that are sent to the reactor to release the 100 KJ of energy in the form of Xrays, which creates the high temperature and pressure needed to ignite the deuterium-tritium pellets for the fusion reaction.
