The Cross Fire Fusion Reactor uses multiphase accelerators within a superconducting electromagnetic configuration to isotropically accelerate and confine plasma through helicoidal moving forces, inducing fusion reactions at rates over 1% for net energy gain. Fusion byproducts are harnessed through multiphase resonators to convert kinetic energy into electricity while magnetic mirrors allow escaped particles to power thermoelectric converters, achieving over 90% efficiency. The reactor enables clean, safe power at gigawatt scales with no long-term waste or emissions.

(Resonator) Phased Standing Waves to harness Fusion
Energy in a Clean, Safe, and Environmentally Friendly Way
2. • The Cross Fire Fusion Reactor is quite simple in its essence;
conceptually it uses steady-state multipole magnetic fields
combined with helicoidal moving electromagnetic forces
to both accelerate and trap isotropically the plasma, in an
energy-efficient way, for inducing fusion reactions but
allowing the charged byproducts to escape to be forced to
work against rotating/moving electromagnetic fields for
converting kinetic energy directly into electric power to
supply the grid in a clean and safe way.
• The magnetic fields can withstand
very high-temperature
ion plasma (r=mv/qB)

5. • Fusion energy is the only that can effectively be
at the same time a clean, safe, dense and
environmentally friendly power source to supply
the world's energy needs, with no greenhouse
gases, no long-term radioactive waste, no large
land areas, no interruptions by the weather or
time of day, easy shutdown, no meltdowns and
no proliferation, bringing a peaceful and
prosperous future to Earth.
6. • The Multiphase Accelerator also can be implemented with
a resonator (phased RF { [0° 90°] [90° 180°] } orthogonally⊥
disposed quarter-wave(¼λ) spaced) instead of concentric
helix-coils in order to deal with the "skin effect" without
"litz wire" for similarly producing moving electromagnetic
forces in both radial and axial directions resulting in
helicoidal moving forces for both accelerating and
confining radially and unidirectionally neutral plasma.
• It can accelerate and decelerate neutral-plasma with
optimal power transfer; it is to be shorter with much more
torque than Linacs.
10. • As it is known, moving magnetic fields exert forces on
moving charges F=q(v × B) and vice-versa.
• The Energy Converter also uses Multiphase Resonator but
with purpose of decelerating for converting kinetic energy
into electric power. Similarly to a TWT/Klystron, the fast
fusion byproducts boost the rotating electromagnetic fields
produced by the phased standing waves, thereby
electrodynamically transferring energy to be effectively
harvested by diode bridge rectifiers of the system.
Ions naturally
are split apart
by moving magnetic
fields, seed for

multiplication effect.

Energy Converter
15. • The neutral plasma pellets are accelerated by the helicoidal
moving forces toward the chamber interior reaching
enough kinetic energy for fusions to take place. In few
micrograms of fusion fuel, there are trillions and trillions of
atomic nuclei, and also free electrons that can decrease the
Coulomb repulsion, then fusion reactions are far more
likely to take place.
• The resulting charged fusion byproducts are confined
quasi-isotropically by the steady-state multipole magnetic
fields, but run away through the resonators transferring
energy to the Energy Converters while decelerating to be
afterward collected, and the byproducts and unburned
fuels separated to improve the fuel utilization.
24. From simple calculations, for net energy gain, it is needed a fusion rate of
at least 1% for deuterium-deuterium(D-D) and 3.4% for hydrogen-boron(p-B11):
1. deuterium-deuterium (D-D):
D + D + 15keV → ((T + p) 50% + (He3 + n) 50%) + 3.65MeV
raw gain is about 243(3.65MeV/15keV) and if all energy end as waste heat, and
with a typical thermoelectric efficiency about 30% (100/(99+243)), it is needed a
fusion rate 1/100 (1%), i.e., 99 scatterings and at least one successful fusion event
for
net gain (self-sustainability).
2. hydrogen-boron(p-B11): (30/(29+70)) ≈ 30%
p + B11 + 123keV → 3(He4) + 8.68MeV
raw gain is around 70 (8.68MeV/123keV), hence 1/30 (3.4%) fusion event is
needed, which is not so difficult after all.
Superconducting electromagnet:
specifc energy: 69.2393E+12 J/kg
charge-to-mass ratio = 47.86127E+6 C/kg
E=½mv² → v=((E/m)*2)0.5
→ v= (69.2393E+12 * 2)0.5
→
v=11.7677E+6 m/s | 30cm bore (15cm of internal radius)
r=mv/qB → B= (v/r)/(q/m) →
B=(11.7677E+6/0.15)/47.86127E+6 C/kg → B=1.64 T → ≈4 Teslas
25. Star on Earth ☀
• With fourteen multiphase accelerators, enclosed within
superconducting electromagnets (few power consumption),
disposed around a truncated octahedron (core),
where the plasma is prevented from touching on
the inner walls of the reaction chamber by
the magnetic mirror effect, and the plasma is
accelerated and confined isotropically by helical
moving forces, all that can make plasma collisions
isotropically denser, much higher fusion rate,
energetic enough to achieve fusion ignition with
net gain.
• Fusion energy is clean and safe, only a minimum of
radiation shielding is required. Unlike nuclear
fission, no long-term radioactive waste is
produced, and in case of p-B11(aneutronic) most
of the energy released is in the form of charged
particles instead of neutrons, virtually waste-free.

28. • All waste heat produced by the fusion reactor, and its
peripherals, can be recycled into electric power by the
Multiphase Thermoelectric Converter in order to increase
the overall efficiency over 90% for ensuring net energy
gain.
• The waste heat comes mainly from the electromagnetic
radiation in the reactor's core, mostly in X-ray range
(bremsstrahlung) that is shielded by the tungsten layers.
• The Multiphase Thermoelectric Converter operates by
radially forcing the hot coolant to push axially
the electrical charges against electric/magnetic
fields. And it also can be implemented with
multiphase resonator instead of
concentric helix-coils.
34. • The Cross Fire Fusion Reactor can replace more than 10 billion
tons/year of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by only 10000 tons/year of
non-radioactive, inert, and safe helium-4 gas.
• The fusion fuels are readily available and virtually
inexhaustible, cost-effective, energetically dense, clean and
safe, for a pollution-free Earth.
• Electric power can be used for electrolysis of water:
H₂O + (286kJ/mole) → H₂ + ½O₂
hydrogen can be combined with atmospheric CO₂ to produce
methanol(CH₃OH):
CO₂ + 3H₂ → CH₃OH + H₂
• This process can reduce CO₂ concentration and increase oxygen
in the atmosphere, producing hydrogen for fuel cells and
methanol for vehicles; methanol is relatively clean
compared to gasoline or diesel which can substantially
reduce the worldwide pollution.
36. Conclusion:
• The Cross Fire Fusion Reactor can potentially
produce safe, clean, dense, cost-effective and
virtually unlimited electric power in a stable,
reliable, predictable and controllable manner for
large-scale energy production with no pollution
and no long-term radioactive waste, contributing
for a pollution-free Earth.
