Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

If you use a sparking discharge,you automatically have the RF bursts currents

I think their intensity is too small. Magnetron is a better thing for this task.

Well, since modifications are turned off... I would like to add that toroid may have a magnetic core that will supply the required B-field inside the toroid that will permeate the graphite rod pack. It will then look like toroid on that 60kW generator picture.

I'm not sure that would work very well, since the induced current in the coil would set up a circulating B-field inside the core which will serve to disrupt the axial field of a magnet there.  The logic (as I see it) of using a toroidal coil for electron capture is that the magnetic field arising from current in the wire will be contained almost completely inside the core, and thus will not interfere with the imposed axial field.  As for core material, I suspect that an air core or partial vacuum might be the best, as electrons which penetrate past the wire layer will then have a second chance of making it into the circuit, rather than depositing themselves in the core material.

<edit>:  This assumes that the carbon is situated along the axis.  If it is inside the core of the torus, then that's another story -- possibly an improved design, since the required magnetic field will be produced automatically by the induced current in the wire.

Hmm, how about using Aluminum wire for the collector coil?  If the AlOx theory is valid, then this should make for a decent "hybrid" collector.

I'm not sure I understand you. As far as I know, toroidal permanent magnet's force is most high in the center of the toroid, and has a perpendicular direction to toroid's main plane (so, if we place a pack of graphite rods inside the toroid they will be aligned to permanent magnetic force line). The induced current may counteract the field of toroidal magnet, but it's nothing bad - maybe even good. We do not need B-field after pulse was fired, we need it when pulse fires. Beside that magnetic field should be a good "guide" for electrons: they will stick to the toroid and its windings without flying too far - if I'm not mistaken electrons (as metals) are attracted to highest intensity position in the field, not repelled (i.e. no dipole action since electrons do not form a large dipole body).

Picture is wrong compared to what I am doing. Magnets are directly up against the carbon rod (parallel) and the aluminum is inside the toroid then one layer on outside of toroid. So sandwiched layers of aluminum between toroidal windings.

Is this attached picture the right setup ?

This should be a side view.

If you use an aluminium tube around
the graphite rod,
how do you connect it for the output ?

Does the aluminium tube charge up
positively and the negative pole will be versus the
negative pole of the carbon rod power supply ?
