Термоядерная горелка с разрядом в капиллярах

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

Transient behavior of high-power discharges in smalldiameter capillaries is a means for obtaining thermonuclear burn.

Riassunto

Il comportamento transitorio di discariche ad alta potenza in capillari di piccolo diametro è un mezzo per ottenere combustione termonucleare.

Резюме

Переходное поведение разрядов высокой мощности в капиллярах малого диаметра представляет способ получения термоядерной «горелки».
