Abstract
Multiple reacting systems for performing and harvesting thermal energy from a fusion reaction. The reacting systems each including a reactor. One reacting system includes a smaller inner core and larger outer core, and compression devices configured to compress liquid metal in the outer and inner core. Another reacting system contains an empty core with compression devises configured to shoot liquid metal into the empty core. In both reacting systems, charged plasma is fired into the innermost core, and heated liquid metal is used to compress the plasma within the innermost core. A fusion reaction occurs when the liquid metal compresses the plasma in the innermost core, producing thermal energy.

A reacting system for performing a fusion reaction and harvesting thermal energy from the fusion reaction, the reacting system comprising:
- a reactor comprising:
- an outer core containing liquid metal;
- an inner core containing liquid metal, the inner core defining an external surface comprising a force transferring barrier configured to separate liquid metal in the outer core from liquid metal in the inner core;
- a central opening configured to receive plasma;
- and
- a compressor configured to compress the liquid metal in the outer core;
- wherein the force transferring barrier is configured to transfer force from the compression of the liquid metal in the outer core to the liquid metal in the inner core thereby causing displacement of the liquid metal in the inner core and compressing the plasma within the central opening.
