Chemonuclear Fusion Reaction Generating Method and Chemonuclear Fusion Energy Generating Apparatus

摘要

In a chemonuclear fusion in which hydrogen ions of nuclear stopping power energy of a few keV per nucleon, that is, deuteron or proton beam are implanted into a liquid target of molten metal lithium, the reaction rate is increased by about 10¹¹ times by thermodynamic force in the liquid. For putting chemical nuclear fusion to practical use, there is needed to increase the reaction rate by further increasing the thermodynamic force.;In the present invention, in order to enhance the thermodynamic force, molecule ions or ion clusters of hydrogen, helium, lithium, helium hydride, lithium hydride, boron or the like withdrawn from an ion source (3) or produced by discharge within a reaction vessel (8) are accelerated to implant the molecule ions or ion clusters into the surface of a liquid target (4) such as molten metal lithium or lithium alloy, whereby a chemonuclear fusion reaction, which synergistically enhances and increases the thermodynamic force which acts on constituent atoms of molecule ions within the liquid target, is induced.
