Neutron Shower. In Kolb's experiment, the deuterium plasma is held in a quartz tube about a foot long. At each end the magnetic field is given added strength to form a magnetic "mirror," which reflects back the charged particles as they try to escape, thus sealing the gas in a magnetic bottle. A bank of 99 condensers, kept in the basement since condensers sometimes blow up, sends a jolt of 4,000,000 amperes thundering through the coil, heating the gas up to around 20 million degrees. Dr. Kolb reported that his machine had confined plasma and kept...
