Abstract
A coating of plasma-wall interaction components in machines for the magnetic confinement of thermonuclear plasmas, comprising a capillary retaining structure defining a predefined containment volume, said containment volume being adapted to retain at least one liquid metal; said capillary retaining structure comprising at least one metal multi-wire cable arranged according to an entangling pattern.
Claims17
A coating of plasma-wall interaction components in machines for the magnetic confinement of thermonuclear plasmas, said machines being adapted to carry out controlled thermonuclear fusion phenomena, characterized in that it includes a capillary retaining structure comprising at least one metal multi-wire cable;
- wherein said metal multi-wire cable is woven according to a entangling pattern configured to define a predefined containment volume, said containment volume being adapted to retain at least one liquid metal.
An apparatus utilizing controlled thermonuclear fusion phenomena, configured to generate a plasma occupying an operating space and comprising a confinement wall within which said plasma lies, characterized in that it comprises at least one coating according to any one of the preceding claims interposed between said containment wall and said plasma;
- wherein said coating is configured to cooperate with magnetic confinement means for thermonuclear plasmas being cooperatively active with said confinement wall and/or said operating space.
