| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A direct energy conversion system for helium-3 fuel fusion is composed of two kinds of converters of cusp type and traveling wave type, which have been studied individually. In this project, problems relating to unifying two converters are treated for the first time by simulation experiments on an extended equipment and numerical calculations. Proposition of a new scheme for separation between ions in the cusp type converter with examination of the effectiveness of the scheme by numerical calculation, and problem solving on beam scattering for the traveling wave type converter was carried out.
