The essence of the patent relates to the creation of fields to confine the plasma.
Not sure there is anything really exploitable in the description.
The end of the patent is a shame, it is filling and reusing what already exists everywhere in electronics and computers. (all that relates to the last figure = figure 9). It makes me doubt the above in the patent.
I'm sure they won't have a fusion reactor in 2024.
Basically it's ITER except they would use magnetic mirrors instead of a torus. Instead of using the grid to create the magnetic field, the electricity would be produced by MHD Well yes, MW for magnets must be produced on board the plane
I have never seen an MHD generator produce electricity industrially (or am I wrong?).
And they have room temperature superconductors ??? Otherwise it takes a hell of a factory to keep the cold.
It is clearly a pipo patent just filed to justify research funding.
