Outline of Final Research Achievements

The high-speed solid pellet injection by two-stage gas acceleration using an innovative piston has been developed. The innovative idea in this study is the use of solid-ice (ice piston) instead of the metal for the material of the piston. In this study, the fast valve with a large amount of gas flow was manufactured. The test chamber with the valve and a compact cryocooler was prepared. The compression test shows that high pressure over 30 MPa was attained using the ice piston.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で行ったアイスピストンを用いた加速方式は、原理的に、「高速」かつ「繰り返し」で、物体を加速することが可能な方式である。よって、核融合燃料供給として本成果を活かすことが可能であるのはもちろんのこと、核融合燃料供給の研究だけにとどまらず、スペースデブリ実験など、物体を加速させることが必要な実験にも応用できるものである。
