| Nuclear Fusion, Advantages and Disadvantages of Inertial Methods Jerzy Pisarek1; 1JAN DLUGOSZ UNIV. FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE, Czestochowa, Poland; PAPER: 225/Manufacturing/Regular (Oral) SCHEDULED: 11:45/Thu. 24 Oct. 2019/Leda (99/Mezz. F) ABSTRACT: The polish way of nuclear fusion will be described. The author will present some historical experiments performed by S.Kaliski’s team and some new alternative methods for nuclear fission, including his proposals of plasma stabilisation methods in plasma-focus arrangements. The high speed gas jet and some effects of laser-plasma interaction are used. Contrary to experiments led in Warsow by S.Kaliski, low-cost experiments led by the author had only one distinctive character and were realized at low energy densities. Obtained results, however, suggest the desirability of further research which would be performed in conditions that approach high-energetic systems of plasma-focus or laser-plasma-focus. With the sentence of the author, new mathematical tools will perform the essential role of designing new experiments. Their closer characteristics will become contained in the monograph prepared for the publication in the next year. The obtainment of the fusion reaction is not a critical problem for thermonuclear energetics today. The fusion reaction was obtained on the laboratory-scale, using both the inertial method (in Warsow, Sylwester Kaliski team) and in low-pressure-arrangements of Tokamak (in Nagoya Noria Aray team). The lifetime of the reactor and its economic profitability is a current problem. Inertial reactors, especially reactors of the plasma-focus type, are more permanent and significantly cheaper from reactors of the TOKAMAK type. Several ideas, probably leading to further increase of the durability of the inertial reactor elements, will be presented in the paper. Unfortunately, the several problems waiting for solutions must also be presented. In spite of the success of the experiments realized in Warsaw in the years 1974-78, works on the construction of the reactor able to have practical meaning were not undertaken. The most persons from prof. Kaliski’s team are not alive. The proposed presentation is dedicated to their memory.
