The device consists of a junction diode, formed by the close contact between a palladium electrode (2) and a p-type silicon plate (5). This diode constitutes the negative electrode of an electrolysis cell filled with heavy water (4), the positive electrode consisting of a platinum plate (1). During operation, the deuterium nuclei penetrate into the palladium layer, migrate into the crystal lattice as far as the junction (3), and accumulate there and are compressed there under the effect of the enormous electric field which prevails in the junction region, which increases their probability of interaction, this relating in particular to nuclear fusion reactions. <IMAGE>
