Abstract

We propose new dynamic hypotheses to enhance our understanding of the behaviour of the plasma in the reactor. In doing so, we put forward a profound revision of classical dynamics. After over thirty years studying rotational dynamics, we propose a new theory of dynamic interactions to better interpret nature in rotation. This new theory has been tested experimentally returning positive results, even by third parties. Plasma rotation is an essential factor in the analysis of the turbulent transport of momentum in axisymmetric systems. In magnetic confinement fusion systems, the plasma circulates in the container at a constant movement, which we could define as rotation with respect to its walls. Notwithstanding, it has been shown that the plasma in the reactor can initiate spontaneous circular movement or rotation, without the need for any external dynamic momentum input. The theoretical development of this behaviour is still under study, and the origin of this intrinsic rotation is still unclear. We suggest the exploring of a new type of dynamic confinement based on the Theory of Dynamic Interactions (TDI) and one that is compatible with magnetic confinement. Applying this criterion we are proposing would enable a twin physical-theoretical principle to isolate plasma and try to minimize its turbulence. We suggest that these new dynamic hypotheses, which we hold applicable to particle systems accelerated by rotation, be used in the interpretation and design of fusion reactors. We believe that this proposal could, in addition to magnetic confinement, achieve confinement by simultaneous and compatible dynamic interaction.
