The PBFA I accelerator has been tested and is operational at its full power rating of 30 TW. The PBFA I experiments demonstrated that the multi-modular approach to superpower generators is viable. The modular outputs can be combined in parallel or series-parallel combinations of the magnetically insulated transmission lines to power single, ion-beam diodes or imploding plasma sources. The coupling...
The first Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator (PBFA-I) has recently completed its operational series of tests. It provided 30 TW into 36 power flow lines terminated in electron beam loads at the accelerator's center. The outputs were 2 MV at 15 MA for a 40 ns pulse which provided 1 MJ of output energy. During the accelerator develcpament, several ways of modifying and reconnecting this modular, few MV...
This paper will describe the EBFA I accelerator under construction for inertial confinement fusion studies with particle beams and will update previous publications concerning particle beam fusion accelerators.1 Previous information included Proto I, 2 a triggered oil insulated 1 TW accelerator; Proto II, 3 a water insulated 10 TW accelerator; and EBFA I, a 30 TW, 1 MJ accelerator.1 Some modifications...
