Abstract

A new and improved system for facilitating heat removal from a cavitation nuclear reactor. Cavitation nuclear reactors generally have a reaction chamber within which the cavitation nuclear reactions take place. Cavitation nuclear reactions are driven by acoustic energy. In order to generate the necessary acoustic energy, drivers are connected to the reaction chamber. This new and improved system utilizes two independant circuits to increase the efficiency of the cavitation nuclear reactors. One circuit serves to remove the energy from the interior of the reaction chamber at as high a temperature as possible. The other circuit acts to cool down the drivers so as to allow the drivers to operate within the optimal operating temperature range. Additional fins or extensions are added to protrude from the outer surface of the chamber, or alternatively, the outer surface of the chamber is corrugated to increase the amount of heat flow from the interior of the chamber.
