Continuous-Operation Modular Rotating Fusion Engine
Description
This invention describes a Continuous-Operation Rotating Modular Fusion Engine–Reactor
based on a rotating and modular architecture, composed of a plurality of independent poly-
hedral fusion cells (preferably hexagonal pyramids) arranged radially around a central rotor.
Each cell integrates deuterium–tritium fuel pellet injection systems, ignition modules (lasers or
equivalent drivers), and diagnostic/control ports located at the structural vertices. The flat base of
each cell functions as a hot plate, coupled to a shared neutron energy harvesting and conver-
sion blanket (Neutron Energy Harvester, NEH) manufactured with advanced materials (W–SiC,
RAFM), and further supported by an integrated IGBI radiator plate that enhances lateral heat
spreading, improves Brayton efficiency, and reduces thermomechanical stress.
The rotation of the rotor imposes a cyclic sequence: injection → ignition → energy release → cooling,
distributed in parallel across the dozens of cells per rotor and, at plant scale, across thousands
of cells coordinated in multi-rotor campuses. This configuration ensures continuous elec-
tricity production, in contrast to the discrete discharges of inertial confinement, and offers a
modular and scalable pathway compared to the monolithic chambers of tokamaks. The design
incorporates staged thermal management, replaceable hot-plate cartridges, the integrated IGBI ra-
diator, and optional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) conversion, ensuring high efficiency, simplified
maintenance, and fault tolerance.
