FIG. 3 is a cut-away view showing how the metal sphere is situated inside of the piezoelectric sphere, and where the spiral detectors are located. It also shows several modular laser pumps and the fiber optic cables associated with them. In an actual reactor there would be more fiber optic cables, probably around one thousand, and each module would contain a single stacked laser diode array and photo-detection and control circuitry. The modules would connect to fiberoptic cables so they could transmit their laser output to the inside of the metal sphere. It might be possible to power these modules locally by using energy harvested piezoelectrically. The cables (fiber optic bundles) depicted are not to scale, as they are only estimated to be about one inch in diameter. Cable attachments made to the sphere’s surface must be able to withstand tremendous stresses. One way to cope with the stress is to have the ends of the fiberoptic cables fused so that they would form durable silica plugs that could be inserted into the shafts that were drilled to let light in/out of the sphere. The ends of the cables could then be attached to the outside of the sphere using springs that would allow the plugs to function like shock absorbing pistons. This gives the connecting parts some flexure, and minimizes the jarring stress and strain that would otherwise interfere with and inhibit the sphere’s natural resonance. Also shown are the large cone-shaped pipes that lead into and out from the sphere. These function as low-speed settling chambers, reducing turbulence and making the flow more laminar.
