"Ion collider for nuclear fusion" was invented by Richard M. Talman (Ithaca, N.Y.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An ion collision A fusion power generation method includes co-circulating a first and a second charged-particle beam on a same orbit of a synchrotron. The method also includes, at completion of every Mth turn of the first charged-particle beam in the synchrotron, traversing the first charged-particle beam with the second charged-particle beam during an Nth turn of the second charged-particle beam. The method may include applying a radial electric field and a trans...
