Abstract: A device for creating an environment in which fusion can occur is provided. In its most basic embodiment, the present invention comprises two opposing cathodes separated from each other by a gap. An anode is positioned outside of the gap on a horizontal plane from the vertically positioned cathodes. This cathode and anode structure is positioned within a chamber with a vacuum drawn. Into the chamber, a quantity of fuel such as hydrogen, deuterium, and/or tritium fuel may be introduced. Upon application of a current to the system, ions will be retained in orbit about the cathodes, creating a plasma.

Abstract: One embodiment of a thermonuclear fusion reactor consists of 2 opposing cathodes and 1 anode positioned outside the gap created by the cathodes. This device creates the environment for thermonuclear fusion to occur for the purpose of creating usable energy. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A Centerline Compression Turbofan Engine reconfigures the current technology eliminating the shaft and placing the combustor at the intake of the engine Turbine blades mounted on the inside of consecutive rings are curved and angled so that they compress air towards the centerline and backward along the axis of the engine as they rotate. High speed exhaust gasses from the combustor coming into contact with the turbine blades provide the rotational drive for each turbine blade array. Exhaust gasses from the combustion chamber and air from the intake are compressed through consecutively smaller turbine blade arrays along the entire length of the engine until it exits the variable exhaust nozzle. Said configuration produces a jet of a high speed exhaust gas for propulsive purposes.
