RECOIL LITHIUM CHEMICAL NUCLEAR FUSION ENERGY GENERATING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a chemical nuclear fusion reaction, including the step of injecting a deuteron or proton beam having an energy of thousands electron volt per atomic mass unit into a target liquid of molten lithium, causes nuclear fusion enhancing effect to be offset by deterioration of metallic lithium on a chemical reaction conflictingly occurring to produce hydrogenated lithium in the target liquid despite increases in reaction rate 10SP10/SPtimes or more by a thermodynamic force in the liquid. PSOLUTION: The interior surface of a reaction vessel is covered with a neutron absorber 11 such as metallic lithium, boron, their compounds or the like to avoid the chemical reaction occurring conflictingly. Ions of an inert gas or molecular ions 10 with light/heavy hydrogen produced by discharge in the reaction vessel are injected into the target liquid 4 consisting of a nuclear fusion substance primarily consisting of molten metallic lithium to produce recoil ions having an energy of thousands electron volt per atomic mass unit in the liquid target 4. Thus, a recoil lithium chemical nuclear fusion reaction is induced by the thermodynamic force between recoil ions and the atoms of the liquid target substance without inducing conflicting chemical reaction.
