It is proposed here to investigate the phenomenon of energy transformation in low temperature gas plasma to search for a condition of maximum efficiency of the energy transformation from longitudinal plasma waves energy to electromagnetic waves energy if the current density oscillations are used as the method for plasma waves generation, and to design on this base high efficiency energy source as autonomous power supply. This formulation of the problem allow us to get in short time period both new scientific results and value experimental data.
Development of the thermonuclear research works to solve the energy problem was started about 30 years ago. The first results of neutron emission were detected about 20-25 years ago, but then it was claimed that it is a wrong data. The reason for the neutron emission was the powerful gamma radiation that is created as effect from plasma oscillation processes. Then main efforts of scientific workers were concentrated on the problem to get stable plasma state instead of the natural oscillating plasma process where the natural energy transformation is created in the resonance mode. Just the oscillation processes in plasma, by the author's proposal, should be used as main physical mechanism for power generation. There are no any nuclear reactions if electromagnetic radiation is created for some calculated resonance frequency. The radiation can be used for heating process or for electromagnetic induction.
The goal of the research is resonance electrodynamical system and main element of this system is low temperature plasma (gas discharge in low pressure hydrogen). The transformation of energy from longitudinal plasma oscillations into electromagnetic radiation is investigated by many authors, for example, Dr. Alexandrov [1, p.353]. Since the frequency of plasma electromagnetic radiation is about twice frequency of longitudinal plasma oscillations, the system can be designed just for resonance mode of power generation.
The analogy of this research direction is Dr. Paulo Correa's work, USA [2]. In 1996 this group proved the idea by means of 5 KWt system. But their technical descriptions are not connected with the theory of resonance energy transformation that is necessary for creation of powerful and compact systems.
In Russia the research work was made by Alexander V. Chernetsky's group, Moscow [3]. The power level of 500 KWt was obtained in 1986 and it was claimed over-unity ratio for output-to-input power. The difference between Chernetsky's system and the proposals is independent electromagnetic circuit for excitation of the longitudinal plasma waves and resonance electromagnetic circuit of output power extraction. It is proposed to use the frequency about 28 MHz or a frequency of GHz band, since the energy of radiation is function of the frequency.
Energy inflow into the system, as Alexander V. Chernetsky
demonstrated, is result of interaction with physical vacuum where the virtual
electron-positron pairs are created and annihilated. If the pair was involved
in energy exchange with real electron of the plasma, energy of the electron-positron
pair was changed and the pair can not be annihilated. So, the "vacuum structurization
and ordering takes place", Alexander V. Chernetsky said. In strength of
this reason, it is proposed here to investigate all secondary effects,
i.e. the possibility to use this area of structured vacuum for deactivation
of radioactivity and isotopes stabilization.
It is proposed to use minimum operation voltage
in the system, according to Pashen function, for example 220V. The hydrogen
of 0.1 Torr pressure is proposed as operation body of the plasma. Output
power is depend of density of the current, so it is function of the particles
concentration, frequency and parameters of the excitation circuit. Since
the goal is maximum power, it is proposed to increase the frequency up
to possible design limitations.
The system is designed for energetics as autonomous power supply, also it can be used for chemical transmutation processes and radioactivity material deactivation.
