IEC Fusion Reactor Mark 3 Upgrades:

Upgrades to the original design.

 

Current Mark3 setup

 

Current Mark3 cad revision:

Mark3-rev13

 

Previously documented Mark3 cad revision:

Mark3-rev9

Revision 9 was used for the collection of all stage1 data.

 

Vacuum Chamber Upgrade / Inspection

Upgrades and Inspection of vacuum chamber interior

 

Grid Power Supply

Spellman series 3000 power supply will supply power to the ion accelerating grid for reactor testing.

 

Cooled Grid Version 2

New cooled grid design with quartz and boron nitride insulator.

 

Cooled Grid Version 3

New cooled grid design with Macor / Alumina insulator

 

Cooled Grid Version 4

New cooled grid design with Macor insulator

 

Control System Version 2

Ethernet based control system for the fusor.

 

Cooling System Version 2

Grid cooling system upgrades for the fusor.

 

Cooling System Version 3

Grid cooling system upgrades for the fusor.

 

Vacuum hub upgrade

Vacuum hub completely removed and upgraded to use 2.75" conflat cube, electrical valve and MKS quattro 999 gauge.

 

Deuterium Gas Control

Control valve for pressure control in fusor

 

Viewport Shield

Ion beam and x-ray shielding for the viewport

 

Microbolometer / Laser Interferometer

Thermal imaging in the 7-14um wavelength, 10.6um CO2 laser interferometer design

 

Ion Collector

Grid mounted ion collector to determine ion bombardment intesity vs position.

 

Anode Layer Ion Source

Four anode layer ion sources will allow stable operation at pressures under 10mTorr. These sources replace the ECRF ion injectors which never worked properly and were not used in fusor operation.
