Abstract
The pursuit of proton-boron (p-11B) fusion has historically been stalled by the thermodynamic paradox established by Rider (1995): classical plasmas in thermal equilibrium will rapidly transfer required ion kinetic energy to background electrons, resulting in fatal X-ray Bremsstrahlung radiation before ignition. To bypass this limit, the reactor must operate outside thermal equilibrium. This paper and accompanying dataset present a hybrid quad-ionic architecture driven by internally situated bi-ionic macroscopic coils designed to achieve this decoupling. By generating a continuous 454 kV/m electric field crossed with a 0.0424 T axial magnetic field, the architecture creates an aggressive centrifugal shear that isolates and chills the electron population (1.80 keV), allowing targeted, non-thermal ion ignition via high-velocity neutral beam injection (594.50 keV). The uploaded archive contains the full manuscript, master references, and the raw WarpX/AMReX Particle-in-Cell, FEA, and MHD Python computational matrices proving structural viability, quad-ionic electrostatic axial compression, and direct DC energy conversion.
