By a high voltage electrical discharge, as an arc or sparks, between metal electrodes (2, 3) immersed in heavy water, D2O, free deuterons, heavy hydrogen nuclei, with high kinetic energy, are generated and accelerated against the negative electrode. The deuterons are discharged on the electrode by capturing electrons and forming atoms D and molecules D2, which are absorbed on the metal surface constituting a target for incident deuterons, whereby nuclear reactions, fusion of hydrogen nuclei, will occur. In an application of the invention the high voltage electrode (3) is inserted between the cathode (2) and the anode (13), constituting a cell for the electrolysis of heavy water. The cathode (2) and especially the surface layer will be saturated with D2 and thereby the probability for fusion reactions with deuterons generated by intermittent discharges between the cathode (2) and the high voltage electrode (3) and hitting the cathode, will be considerably increased. The released fusion energy together with the supplied electrical energy can be recovered as high pressure steam. |
