Abstract
A device producing reactions in the chemical to thermonuclear range and beyond. Physical principles entail pressures, kinetic temperatures, and electromagnetic field strengths obtainable from convergent electromagnetic energy. Process converges closed electromagnetic wave on reactants thereby heating, compressing and confining, and stressing reactants under focal electromagnetic intensities, inducing therein endothermic, equithermic, exothermic or combinations thereof reactions, all types furnishing energy useful externally and the exothermic type furnishing energy useful as feedback for generating new electromagnetic waves for process cyclic operation. Embodiment consists of closed shell lasing element enclosing reaction chamber, source of reactants, sink for reactant byproducts, and a source of initial energy for priming the lasing element.

A lasing reactor for producing and controlling a thermonuclear reactor process thermofusion endo-, equi-, exo-fusion or combinations thereof reactions said lasing reactor comprising:
- a. a closed or substantially closed hollow lasing element constructed so as to have focusing properties, said lasing element being in virtue of its lasing material properties and focusing properties a generator of closed or substantially closed respectively coherent electromagnetic waves convergent upon the inherent focal region or focal regions of said lasing element, the outer boundary of said lasing material being substantially reflective to said waves and the inner boundary of said lasing material being substantially emissive to said waves,
- b. the hollow portion of said lasing element being and defining a reaction chamber within which said reactions are produced by the convergent impingent closure of said waves upon reactants within said chamber,
- c. a speculum and outer shell surrounding said lasing element, said outer shell being a foundation for said lasing reactor and accoutrements, said speculum and outer shell having one or more sets of cooperating closeable orifices beneath which said closeable orifices the said lasing element outer boundary can be reflective where required to the lasing frequency of said lasing element and can be non-reflective to said lasing frequency where required, said closeable orifices being a means of regulation of influx and efflux of electromagnetic energy into and out of said chamber, said influx of electromagnetic energy into said chamber being a means of initially exciting said lasing element, subsequent to and as a result of which excitation influx said lasing element generates a closed or substantially closed respectively convergent coherent electromagnetic wave in conformity with said lasing element focusing and lasing properties, said efflux from said chamber being a means of obtaining for external use energy produced released within said chamber and also a means of regulation anc control of said thermofusion reactions, said speculum means being an accessory means of reflecting incident electromagnetic radiation from within said chamber,
- d. the combination of said lasing element, speculum and outer shell, having correspondingly penetrating holes said holes being used for introduction of reactants into and removal of byproduct reactants from, said chamber, said introduction of reactant being from a reactants source means and said removal of byproduct reactants being into a sink means, the cooperation of said source means with said sink means being also a means of regulation and control of said reactions,
- and enclosing within said closed or substantially closed hollow lasing element energy released from said reaction produced by said convergent impingence of said closed waves upon reactants within said reaction chamber, said released energy emitted divergently from said reaction impinging therefrom into said lasing element thus reexciting the lasing energy states of said lasing element, said released and emitted energy being feedback energy propagating from said reaction to said lasing element, said feedback energy thereby establishing cooperation between said reaction and said lasing element, said cooperation being a means for sustaining steady-state operation of said lasing reactor.
