METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ENERGY, INCLUDING IN FUSION REACTORS

摘要

A novel hydrogen ion array acceleration generator for high and low temperature fusion and related reactions and of particular, although not exclusive, use for producing and controlling low energy fusion and the like. The method underlying the same comprises, providing along a transversely extending diffusion/emission grid surface and within an evacuated contained environment an array of hydrogen ions at the interstitial sites of the grid surface; electrically accelerating the array of ions along a longitudinal direction substantially normal to said surface toward a transversely extending lattice surface of a heavy metal of atomic radius between about 1.23 and 1.31 Angstroms; generating and synchronizing the field strength of magnetic lines of flux along said direction between said diffusion/emission grid surface and target lattice surface; substantially matching the interstitial sites on said grid surface with corresponding interstitial sites on the surface of said target lattice; and controlling the acceleration of the said ions as an array from said diffusion/emission grid surface and the individual ion precession along said magnetic lines of flux to impact the hydrogen ions array upon the corresponding target lattice surface interstitial sites so as to bombard ions that may be already positioned at the corresponding target lattice interior interstitial sites; or, to penetrate to impact the hydrogen ion array located in corresponding target lattice interior interstitial sites so as to bombard ions that may be already positioned at the corresponding target lattice interior interstitial sites; or, if no such ion is already positioned, to insert an ion into such interior interstitial site of the target lattice for futur reaction with a bombardment ion. Apparatus and heavy metal target lattice structures for practicing the method are provided.
