REACTEUR ET PROCEDE POUR LA MISE EN OEUVRE D'UNE REACTION DE FUSION NUCLEAIRE

摘要

The invention concerns a reactor (2) for implementing a nuclear fusion reaction, comprising: -a heat transfer liquid containing (4) first (10) and second (12) atomic elements in solution; - a bubble generator (6) capable of creating a bubble (14) in the heat transfer liquid, said bubble enclosing a gaseous medium (15) containing at least the first atomic element; - a laser source (8) designed to apply a femtosecond laser pulse (18) to the heat transfer liquid, directed at the bubble and having a duration of less than 100fs and an intensity greater than 1014 W.cm-2, to trigger a coulomb explosion in the gaseous medium, said explosion accelerating atomic nucleii of said first atomic elements to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction between atomic nucleii of the first and second atomic elements.
