Fusion reactions and matter–antimatter annihilation for space propulsion

Abstract: RÉSUMÉ : La fusion par confinement magnétique (FCM) et la fusion par confinement inertiel (FCI) sont comparées dans le contexte de missions à longue distance, à travers le système solaire. Ces deux approches montrent des capacités manoeuvrières bien supérieures, à celles de la propulsion cryogénique standard (PCS). Les contraintes de coût sont bien inférieures à celles exigées par la production d'énergie, au sol. Un problème crucial est celui du décollage (problématique des 300 premiers kms), étant donné les r… Show more

“…The idea is to store a tiny amount (few micrograms) of antimatter (say antihydrogen) in electromagnetic controlled cavity and allows part of it to mix with a huge amount of stored matter (say hydrogen, deuterium, tritium or helium gas). The resulting annihilation energy could be stored and used as a fuel for space shuttle engines, (see Deutsch [18] and Abdel-Raouf [19]).…”

“…Various applications have been proposed and tried besides laser fusion. (Borghesi et al, 2007;Bourdier et al, 2007;Deutsch & Tahir, 2006;Kuehl et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2006;Flippo et al, 2007;Lie & Imasaki, 2005;Lifschitz et al, 2006;Sakai et al, 2006;Sherlock et al, 2006;Ostermeyer et al, 2007;Hoffmann et al, 2005). We have proposed a feasibility of a new approach to laser induced nuclear reaction using intense laser field.…”
