The kinetic energy fusion is based on the fusion pellets which shot together using the railguns. And their impact energy ignites the fusion. The kinetic energy fusion can theoretically use lithium-deuteride for making the fusion reaction.
The lithium would pack in the bottles that are shot together by using railguns. Then the impact point will heat by using a laser or microwaves and the needed level of kinetic energy can decrease the warming of the bottles before they are sent to the impact course by using railguns.
There is the possibility that the rail-gun-based system can hybridize with the tokamak type reactor. The system can put the fusion pellets that are shot with the railguns to impact inside the plasma track. That thing helps to increase the temperature in the tokamak. Another version is to use crossing plasma beams.
The problem with tokamak-type reactors is that they must use the monopolar-plasma. The particles of monopolar plasma reject each other. So the magnetic system must press that plasma beam to one entirety. The crossing plasma beams that have different polarities will increase the energy level of the plasma when they are impacting each other. But also the railguns can be used to send the plasma beam to a higher energy level.
The problem with fusion is the ignition. There is introduced antimatter to make the needed temperature. But the price of antimatter is very high. And the second way is to use a plasma-laser beam combination or another way is to combine those systems with the rail guns that are rising energy level of the plasma beam. There is the possibility that lasers or microwaves can use to warm up the impacting particles in the kinetic energy fusion reactor.
Kinetic energy or impact energy is a well-known thing from the railguns. The idea is that the very fast-moving object hits deuterium- or deuterium-tritium pellets. And that impact causes the fusion reaction. The system is quite simple. The railgun launches an extremely fast-moving copper- or iron bullet into the vacuum chamber by using a speed that is 20 times higher than the speed of sound.
The impact force of that projectile is about 100 gigapascal, but its shape is rising to one tera-pascal. If the projectile is shaped in a certain way. Then it releases kinetic energy very quickly if it hits something. The impact power of the projectiles can increase by shooting them against each other from opposite directions. In that case, the impact speed of those particles is 40 times the speed of the sound. And that can increase its energy to 2 tera-pascal.
The thing is that this reactor is claimed to be a hoax or something like that. The thing is that this type of system should produce more energy than they use.
The New Energy Magazine claims that the reactor is fake. That article is from 2019. But the problem is that the new type of fusion systems are based the cyclic fusion. Cyclic fusion means that the fusion reactor would not produce energy all the time. That helps to solve the heat problem in the reactor. Which can melt if the temperature rises too high.
The idea is based that high-energy photons can create energy from the fusion reactor. The energy can store in the new type of systems and similar systems that are used to store energy from solar panels. But when we are thinking of the fusion system the problem is in the ignition. That system requires a higher energy level than the nucleus of the sun.
