1. A ring cyclotron nuclear fusion system comprising a plurality of annular rings of varying diameter joined to form a spherical reaction chamber;

  • each of said rings containing;

    (a) a plurality of spherical wedge electromagnets of C-shape cross section, said electromagnets having lips and being continuously connected around said ring;

    (b) flat annular ring electrodes located between the poles of said C-shaped electromagnets, said electrodes being of different diameters and positioned so as to form a gap there between;

    (c) a plurality of pin hole sized injection ports along the gap, each of said ports connected to an ion injector beam of at least about 1013 ions/cc;

    (d) focus coils located at the innermost lips of said C-shaped electomagnets (e) charged outer rim means;

    (f) output tubes and a high frequency kilovolt power supply connected to said electrodes wherein low energy ions are injected into the gap, accelerated by said electrodes so as to follow spiral or helical pathways until achieving sufficient energy for fusion where upon said ions are deflected out of orbit by said charged outer rim means and said focus coils so as to form beams, directed to the center of the spherical reaction chamber, and some of said beams colliding head-on with other of said beams and noncolliding ions passing on across the reaction chamber into other C-shaped electromagnets and thence spiral back toward the middle ad infinitum or until the ions collide with one another or the apparatus.
