Patent number: 11064601Abstract: Examples of systems for imploding liquid liner are described. The imploding system comprises a vessel and a rotating member positioned within the vessel. The rotating member has a plurality of shaped blades that form a plurality of curved passages that have an inboard opening at an inner surface and an outboard end at an outer surface. The rotating member is at least partially filled with liquid medium. A driver is used to rotate the rotating member such that when the rotating member rotates the liquid medium is forced into the passages forming a liquid liner with an interface curved with respect to an axis of rotation and defining a cavity. The system further comprises an implosion driver that changes the rotational speed of the rotating member such that the liquid liner is imploded inwardly collapsing the cavity. The imploding liquid liner can be used in plasma compression systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Inventors: Joerg Zimmermann, David Franklin Plant, Robert Vlastimil Bouchal, Troy Nickolas Tyler, Victoria Suponitsky, Michael Harcourt Delage, Michel Georges Laberge, Malcolm Newton Williams

Patent number: 10798808Abstract: Examples of systems for forming cavity and a liquid liner are described. The system comprises a vessel and a rotating member positioned within the vessel and rotatable about an axis of rotation. The rotating member has an inner surface 5 curved with respect to the axis of rotation, an outer and plurality of fluid passages that each has an inboard opening at the inner surface and an outboard opening at the outer surface. The rotating member is filled with a liquid medium and a rotational driver rotates the rotating member such that when rotating the liquid medium at least partially fills the fluid passages forming liquid liner, defining the 10 cavity. The cavity formation system is used in a liquid liner implosion system with an implosion driver that causes the liquid liner to implode inwardly collapsing the cavity. The imploding liquid liner system can be used in plasma compression systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: General Fusion Inc.Inventors: Joerg Zimmermann, David Franklin Plant, Robert Vlastimil Bouchal, Troy Nickolas Tyler, Victoria Suponitsky, Michael Harcourt Delage, Michel Georges Laberge

Patent number: 10546660Abstract: Examples of system for generating vortex cavity are disclosed. The system comprises a vessel into which a fluid is injected through one or more inlet ports and a fluid circulating system configured to circulate the fluid through the vessel such that the fluid is removed from the vessel through an outlet port and is returned back into the vessel through the one and more inlet ports. A first spinner is mounted at one wall of the vessel while a second spinner is mounted at the opposite wall of the vessel such that the second spinner is at some distance away from the first spinner and it faces the first spinner. When the fluid circulating system starts circulating the fluid within the vessel a vortex cavity is formed that extends between the first and the second spinners so that one end of the vortex cavity sits on the first spinner while the opposite end of the vortex cavity sits on the second spinner.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: General Fusion Inc.Inventors: Michel Georges Laberge, David Franklin Plant, Victoria Suponitsky, Eunice Kuatsjah

Patent number: 10092914Abstract: Examples of a jet control device are described. The jet control device can comprise a jet deflecting member that is configured to intercept and/or collide with a high speed jet emerging from a jet formation location. The interaction of the jet deflecting member and the jet can cause the high speed jet to be dispersed into a plurality of jets with a number of flow directions which may be sideways to an initial direction of the high speed jet. In one embodiment the deflecting member can include a liquid guide formed by injecting a fluid out of an outlet nozzle so that the liquid guide extends longitudinally away from the outlet nozzle. In another embodiment the deflecting member can include an array of solid pellets injected through an outlet in a direction of the emerging high speed jet and configured to collide with the emerging jet thereby deflecting its initial direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: General Fusion Inc.Inventors: Victoria Suponitsky, Sandra Justine Barsky, J.
