Реферат: An aneutronic fusion apparatus is disclosed that uses a lithium ammonia fuel mixture as a supercritical fusion fuel of solvated electrons thereby lowering the coulomb barrier to achieve small scale fusion. The integration of alpha sources, magnetic confinement, electrical arcing, and pressure allow for fusion events and chain reactions. The process operates in a cyclical fashion fusing atoms then fizzling creating a diamagnetic pressure in the plasma whose output energy is inductively harvested. Atypical embodiment device includes: a chamber; a magnetic confinement coil surrounding at least a portion of the chamber; electrodes extending into the chamber defining a gap. A device having bidirectional electrode rod arrays has a first array with rods extending in a first direction, a last electrode rod array having rods extending in a second direction opposite the first direction, and one or more intervening electrode rod arrays each having rods extending in both directions.
