PRODUCTION OF ENERGY AND MATERIALS BY NUCLEAR SYNTHESIS

摘要

A process for producing energy and elemental material by a nuclear synthesis reaction, includes introducing into an electrolysis cell (EC) a metal salt and a solid electrolyte (14) which can be heated to a molten state. The electrolyte is then electrolysed to melt the same and to heat the metal salt such that atoms thereof synthesise to produce the elemental material and thereby generate energy. The process makes use of a current generator (CG) that provides current to the electrolysis cell to electrolyse and melt the electrolyte and to heat the metal salt.
