摘要

A new technique for direct power extraction from a fusion plasma is presented. This technique is designed to operate within a tokamak divertor channel without requiring plasma to cross the toroidal field coils, and is therefore termed an energy recovering divertor. The proposed technique is based on amplification of Alfven waves by ion kinetic energy, using a mechanism analogous to a free-electron laser. Presented here are a detailed description of the technique and analytic calculations of its basic mode of operation.
