Abstract
An apparatus and method for heating materials or substances in an oven at an oven temperature below their melting and/or vaporization points to either melt and/or vaporize the substance. Substances are inserted into a substantially spherical envelope. The envelope is sealed at a preset pressure. The solid is heated in an oven at an oven temperature substantially below the melting or vaporization temperature of the substance at the preset pressure for a time sufficient to either melt or vaporize the substance.
Claims6
A method of creating a magnetic confinement field, the method comprising:
- providing a tapered structure in an envelope to create an electron vortex;
- providing a substance in the envelope adjacent the tapered structure;
- and
- heating the substance with energy to produce a temperature below the vaporizing temperature of the substance and for a time sufficient to generate electron emissions within the envelope and create the electron vortex which creates the magnetic confinement field.
A method of creating a magnetic confinement field, the method comprising:
- providing a tapered structure in an envelope to create a plasma flow;
- providing a substance in the envelope adjacent the tapered structure;
- and
- heating the substance with energy to produce a temperature below the vaporizing temperature of the substance and for a time sufficient to generate electron emissions within the envelope and create the plasma flow which creates the magnetic confinement field
