Particle Accelerator Fusion Reactor

[Vmedvil2]

Taking from the idea of the Z-pinch fusion reactor I wanted to write a post about Particle Accelerator Fusion Reactors, In the Z-Pinch Reactor Electricity is run into the reaction chamber which causes the plasma to compress after the electromagnetic field forms causing a fusion reactor. What if you used a particle accelerator to accelerate Electrons into the Z-pinch to create a Electromagnetic field within the plasma, you could pinch the material much more tightly with electrons that a moving at much higher voltages using a particle accelerator to bombard the device with electrons moving in a direction, it would cause the pinching effect to be in the Teravolts range rather than the Megavolt range which is what they used in the Z-pinch device. The Compression of the Z-pinch devices would be increased by 1 million times the current compression if a particle accelerator beam were used to cause the current. This is a form of Small Fusion which could be greatly aided by particle accelerator technology in this fashion having almost 1 million times the pinch by accelerated electrons from a particle accelerator rather than a EMF though the yields would be smaller the magnitude of the 1 TEV electrons would more than make up for the current loss as each electron would be acting in the same yield as 1 million electrons. Though this may add to the electricity bill it has to be cheaper than running current directly into the device in the electric bill area as modern Particle Accelerators use YBCO Superconducting coils to generate the acceleration of particles. In any case, the Z-Pinch has shown the compact fusion devices are possible to sustain fusion.
