Fig. 3. Effect of the migma diamagnetic field on the net magnetic field, (a) The low trajectories in the field-reduced region approach linearity, and (b) at high migma ion density, diamagnetic currents reduce the net magnetic flux density. We shall consider three possible systems to utilize the output of this reactor: (a) both direct and thermal power conversion, (b) direct conversion only, (c) thermal conversion only. Block diagrams of these three systems are shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 respectively. We assume that the direct converter has an efficiency of 80% and that the thermal converter has an efficiency of 40%. The accelerator requires an input of 1% of the electric power, utilizing it at 50% efficiency. Thus the output powers, Pe (electric power) and P,h (thermal power) total to 99% of the raw output of 55.8 MW per cubic meter of reactor volume.
