Quodons in tokamak fusion reactors

Abstract

Experiments have shown that alpha particles incident on different materials bring about the generation of quodons, that is packets of localized energy that can bind to an electric charge and transport it without the presence of an electric field, a phenomenon called hyperconductivity. Tokamak fusion reactors produce a huge amount of alpha particles, transporting energy and charge trough insulators and metals at much more speed that ohmic conduction and heat conductivity. The consequences are still unclear but should be studied and incorporated in reactor designs.
